We offer the greater Austin area the highest quality dog training experience with personalized programs for obedience, behavioral, scent detection, and off-leash dog training. At Hill Country K9, we are committed to providing not just training, but a full support system for you and your dog.
At Hill Country K9, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality dog training in Austin, led by our owner and head trainer, Sean Demers. With over 20 years of experience, Sean has worked with thousands of households and dogs, including attack K9s, scent detection, agility, service dogs and emotional support animals. His specialties include reactivity/behavioral modification, off-leash training, scent detection, agility training, protection/security, aggressive behavior, and general obedience.
What sets Hill Country K9 apart is Sean's unique ideology and approach to training. He believes in giving owners and pets as much freedom as possible, but understands that trust must be earned. This philosophy is evident in his focus on off-leash training, which he sees as a transformative experience to be shared with every dog and owner.
Many clients come to Hill Country K9 after trying other training programs without success. Sean's personable approach, combined with lifetime trainer access, lesson follow-ups for both client and dog, and a customer portal for sharing lesson plans and progress reports, creates a supportive and effective training environment.

At Hill Country K9 Dog Training, we believe in helping dogs reach their full potential, and Dirk, our latest board and train, is no exception. In this video, you’ll see us working with Dirk in a wide, open field to build his off-leash skills and recall ability.
Off-leash training is all about trust, control, and communication. By using positive reinforcement and consistent training techniques, we’re helping Dirk respond reliably, even when faced with distractions like birds or wildlife. This is an important part of our board and train program, as it ensures that dogs like Dirk can enjoy more freedom while staying safe and responsive to commands.
Check out Dirk’s progress in the video, and if you’re ready to take your own dog’s training to the next level, contact us today to learn more about our board and train programs. Whether it’s off-leash reliability, recall, or general obedience, Hill Country K9 is here to help!
