Traction K9 Kennels truly fills such an important need in the dog community. I absolutely love that they specialize in boarding dogs who are misunderstood, anxious, or reactive. As a Husky mom to a dog who fits that description, it gave me so much comfort knowing Panda would be in a place that understands dogs like him. When we needed to board him for five nights, Traction K9 Kennels stood out because of their phenomenal reviews and the incredible reputation they’ve built. Overall, I’m pleased that my husky was in a safe and healthy environment, and I genuinely admire what they’ve created for dogs who need a little extra understanding. That said, I do want to share a couple pieces of feedback. We arrived right on time for drop-off but ended up waiting about 45 minutes in the car because no one was available to check us in. I had to call several numbers before someone answered and was able to contact a staff member to meet us. As a first-time boarding experience, that added a bit of stress. Additionally, I had read many reviews mentioning consistent communication and regular report cards. In our case, the report cards were a bit inconsistent. While I understand things can get busy, especially in a specialized facility, more consistent updates would have helped ease my nerves as a first-time boarding client. Even with those hiccups, I truly appreciate the care Panda received. It means a lot to have a place that sees and supports “misunderstood” dogs for who they are. I would gladly use their services again in the future. Thank you, Traction K9 Kennels, for taking care of my precious husky.

I've been boarding my dog with Traction K9 for 18 months and they have been exceptional. I've had my dog for 13 years and have taken him to a variety of facilities, this is by far the best. Traction K9 has an amazing team of dog behaviorists and can handle any dog.

Had a great experience boarding our dog overnight. Ashley was so kind and answered all of our questions about boarding. We received a report card with a photo that helped alleviate any residual worries. Drop off and pickup were smooth and prompt, instructions on the website at the gate were easy to follow. I'm glad to know our dog is safe at this facility and she loved being able to go outside in her dog run when she wanted.

I had an amazing experience with Traction K9 Kennels while boarding my reactive/aggressive dog for the first time ever. I felt at ease knowing he was here, even during his stay of 2.5 weeks. When I picked him up he was healthy and happy! We got photos and report cards regularly and the booking portal is very easy to use. So happy that Traction K9 exists and offers boarding services for reactive dogs. 100% recommend!

We boarded our dog with Traction because he can be reactive and doesnt like other dogs. The staff has a good system in place to prevent anything negative happening during drop off and pick up. The staff was very friendly and responsive to our requests with our dog. Would definitely recommend using their services.
