Testimonials
“Had the best experience with our 2 pups staying at the Curious K9 for a few days for boarding (lodging). Felt instantly comfortable with Brian & Katie and the care they give the animals. Our dogs loved being there and we got lots of update pics which was nice. We will 100% use them every time we go out of town now. Highly recommend.”
– Tamara S.
“Katie and Brian are so great. Our puppy, Ryder, was a handful before. After he attended the 2 week board and train (lodge and learn) he is so well behaved. There was constant communication and loved the videos of him during training. They are both so knowledgeable about dogs, training and their behaviors. And I love that they use positive reinforcement. I’m planning to use the Curious K9 to board our puppy for future trips. I know Ryder will be in great hands.”
– Jessica S.
“The Curious K9’s behavioral training in Leander changed our dog’s life. Highly recommend.”
