Giavanna is a very experienced dog trainer and she trained my dog who had absolutely no manners or prior training at all. My dog is very skittish and she grew to trust Giavanna. Aside from just learning the basic commands like sit & lay, we learned more important ones like wait and come.. although I use come around the house I thought I would never have to use it otherwise- until the other day we took my dog to visit my uncle and he took her harness off without closing his gate. She freaked out the second he took the harness off and she ran out of the gate going up his block towards a busy road. He immediately ran after her but it only made her more nervous and she kept running. I remembered what we learned with Giavanna and although she was scared I was taught never to chase so I asked him to stop chasing her. Once I got a little closer, I got down on my knees and asked her to come sternly. She listened and immediately came to me and I was able to grab her. I only had to ask once. I thank Giavanna for covering all grounds of training with my dog. She taught me things I never would’ve thought to teach my dog. If she didn’t have a recall command I don’t know if she would’ve came back so easily. By my side K9 training has two very experienced trainers & is the place to bring your dog.

Gia takes great care of my boys anytime we are there. The skill she possesses to evaluate and build their trainings around their vastly different personalities is incredible! Highly recommend for any stage in your pups life

Jess is an amazing trainer! She greatly improved Hercules’ behavior and leash obedience. He loved her and we recommend her to everyone we know! She also made the leash in the picture with my handsome boy!
