FirstBarkI had a one time training at my home with Mara. I have a 7 year old male German Shepherd. Mara taught me techniques that instantly changed my dog’s bad behaviors. She was very easy to follow and understand. I am absolutely impressed and couldn’t be more thankful!

Mara proved to be an exceptional trainer, going above and beyond in caring for my dog Hudson. Her professionalism and effectiveness as a dog trainer were immediately evident, as she tailored her approach precisely to Hudson's needs. My experience with Mara was unparalleled; her dedication and skill have made me a repeat client without hesitation. Remarkably, she also provided valuable home lessons for Hudson, leading to significant improvements in his training in just a few days. Through the videos she shared, Mara's passion for dog training and her genuine care for Hudson's progress were clearly visible. I wholeheartedly recommend Mara to anyone seeking a dedicated, professional, and highly skilled dog trainer.
I have tried other dog trainers in Austin but have found that Traction Dog Training Club is the best! They have completely transformed our whole existence living with our high-energy 3 year old German Shepherd. She is amazing... now! I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Traction!

Traction and Christie are the best! I was struggling with a behavioral euthanasia recommendation for my dog, and I scheduled a single session with Christie for a last opinion. In the Homeschool program, Christie taught me and my dog to communicate using much clearer, simpler methods than we learned at previous classes. I can now clearly guide my dog through tricky situations and hold him accountable for poor behavior in a very kind, effective way. I never thought something like Traction’s agility socials would be an option for us, but I’m now looking forward to doing more training and agility on Varsity! Christie was a professional monkey trainer, and she sure got me trained up along with my dog!
Exceptional dog training and top-notch staff. We started with a 5-day in-house training sequence and noticed an immediate improvement and are now transitioning to the Varsity program for monthly sessions. Highly recommend!
