Expert, Personalized Care for Your Dog in Austin, Texas

Bed and Biscuit Austin offers Daycare, Boarding and Bath & Brush services for your dog. Daycare can provide an active, comfortable, social outlet for your pet while you’re away during the day. We also have a day school option for clients involved in our training classes. Boarding gives you the peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of during those times you are unable to be with them overnight. So, whether you’re traveling for business, taking a weekend trip, or interested in socializing your dog on a regular basis, you can be confident that your dog’s visits to Bed and Biscuit Austin will be happy, healthy, and comfortable.

Bed and Biscuit Austin… Your Pet’s Home Away From Home

What sets us apart from other kennels is the truly outstanding level of care we give to our clients’ dogs. We are not “doggy-storage”- we go way above and beyond just giving your dog a place to stay. We see to it that your pet is as comfortable as possible while in our care. Of course there’s no place like home, but we make it our goal to be the next best thing.

How do we do it?

Our most important asset is staff education and training. A dog’s experience while being in a new or different environment can be exciting and fun but may also become stressful or even unpleasant if the people caring for them are not well informed and attentive. Dogs process and respond to new environments in ways that are different from humans, and it’s important to be aware of those differences when caring for them. We believe that understanding how dogs demonstrate how they feel and what they need and having the tools and knowledge available to make each dog as comfortable and happy as possible are key to providing the best experience for your pet.

Doggy Day Care in Austin

Pet owners may enroll their pet in a Daytime Care program for many reasons. The most common are socialization, stimulation, exercise and basic care while at work or while out of the home for the day. Locating a place to leave their dogs worry-free is important to many pet owners and may even determine if they can keep the pet in their loving home (and busy lives!) and out of a shelter.

To free roam or not to free roam?

It’s easy to find the general services provided at Bed and Biscuit Austin at almost any dog care facility, and doggy daycare is no exception. What’s different at Bed and Biscuit Austin is the “how” and “why”. The foundation of how and why we provide each service the way we do goes back to in-depth knowledge of how dogs process information, their specific needs, their instincts and what they typically prefer as a result of those and many other factors.

Free-roam and “cage-free” daycare are currently popular doggy daycare settings. However, an all day free for all, especially if it is also overcrowded, is a great way to overstimulate and even frustrate a dog. Consistent, or even short-term, over-stimulation can lead to a variety of anxiety and behavior problems, even aggression. The number one measure of a good doggy daycare is almost always how tired a dog is at the end of the day, which is definitely a good measure to consider. However, also considering the source of a dog’s fatigue is important. Being anxious and uncomfortable all day is exhausting and can be even more so than proper stimulation and play.

The ability to socialize with as many dogs as possible and have maximum freedom to move around throughout the entire day may seem more attractive to us as humans. However, a moderate amount of group play with two to five dogs several times a day along with plenty of rest in a cozy, private “den” in between is not only much safer but is also more comfortable for most dogs. It is more consistent with a schedule and daytime agenda that dogs seem to be hard-wired to prefer. Supplementing the group play sessions with one-on-one human attention and play, doggy puzzle time and rest can create a perfect, balanced day for your pet and leave them feeling appropriately tired, satisfied and happy at the end of the day.

Our Dog & Puppy Training Classes

Dog Training Fundamentals Class

If your dog is over six months old you’ll begin in the Dog Training Fundamentals class. In this class, a certified dog trainer in Austin, TX will show you how to teach your dog the fundamental skills for living a happy life in the world full of people. We’ll teach you how to communicate, motivate and be a strong but compassionate leader for your dog.

Puppy Parenting 101

If your dog is a puppy (under six months), there are specific goals you should focus on during this developmental period. Because it’s so important to start your puppy off on the “right paw”, we offer low cost puppy training classes. An expert puppy trainer will help your dog develop good social skills with both people and other pups. Puppies will begin the process of learning how to live comfortably in their environment and how to adapt to new or different situations. This class is ideal for pet owners who plan to take our Dog Training Fundamentals course.

Professional Dog Training Q&A

WHY IS DOG TRAINING IMPORTANT?

Not all canines are going to be search and rescue dogs, and that’s okay. They can still benefit from professional dog training. Dogs became domesticated thousands of years ago, but it can still be hard for them to adjust to life with humans.

Professional dog training helps owners learn to speak to their dogs in a way they will comprehend. Clear communication keeps your dog safe and helps them understand the dynamic of your relationship. We encourage all dog owners to sign up for our free How Dogs Learn seminar. You’ll learn basic techniques that work and more about why professional dog training is important.

WHAT ARE OUR DOG TRAINING TECHNIQUES?

We teach a number of topics including obedience and puppy socialization, but our training techniques are always positive and people-centered. We never use devices, tools or methods that cause physical or mental duress.

Our dog training specialties include:

Obedience lessons
Professional puppy training
Dog Tricks

Our programs were designed by Elizabeth Givens and are taught by our Certified SAFE-TIs (SAFE Training Instructors). Our dog and puppy trainers have spent hundreds of hours handling and training all kinds of canines, including German Shepard and related breeds. What defines our trainers best is their dedication to improving the quality of life for pet owners and their dogs.

CAN YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG TO COME WHEN CALLED?

Yes, it’s definitely possible to train your dog to come when called. It’s a part of our dog obedience training in the fundamentals and advanced classes. You can take their skills a step further with the Basic Tricks course where you’ll learn to teach your dog to come, shake, lay down and more.

WHEN SHOULD YOU START TRAINING YOUR CANINE?

Exactly when to start dog training can vary from one pet to the next. We typically recommend that owners begin training at a professional facility or academy as early as possible. Ideally this process will begin when your dog is a puppy so that bad habits don’t form. No matter what age your dog is when you begin training, it’s important to understand how your dog learns and processes information.
