I highly recommend working with Jessica. She’s sweet but gets the job done. She’s very personable and puts the dog first.

Do you offer board and training? We have a 7 month old rotterman who’s very playful and energetic, excited, and possibly anxious. We also have 5 kids that he nibbles a lot.
Yes they do offer board and training. We were very pleased with our Husky's training. Ask for Chase. He is awesome

How old does my Belgian Malenois need to be for obedience training . Need to be able to control walks. He is semi obedient and very smart 1 plus year old!
They start obedience training at 4 months.

I adopted a foster boxer/ bulldog that had been abused. Can you help her with her anxiety? I've had her a little over a year.
I would think so. They have trained our dogs but we were getting obedience. They are highly qualified and have a super reputation. They love dogs and once you visit, you will not think of going anywhere else.

My wife Sonya bought us a Belgian Malinois to replace our beloved German Shepard Bogey and our Golden Retriever Divot. Both passed away in a two moth span in late 2023. After two weeks, we realized that we couldn't train Elsa the way she needed to be trained. Chase and Madison agreed to take Elsa on for training, Elsa was "Wide open" and hard to control. But after three weeks of training, she came back to us a completely different family member. These folks are simply the best, they train the toughest breeds and the regular breeds too. They are kind people and very knowledgeable about the different breeds. We have brought Elsa back for boarding and follow-up training, we couldn't be happier with our investment in Elsa's training and the results we received. Now 2 years old, Elsa continues to get "Worked" nearly everyday by me and has retained all of her training. She isn't a "Working" friend like a police dog, but she has the training to be the well behaved protector that we wanted her to be. She just loves her walks and to play Frisbee. She loves swimming in the pool, a little spoiled she is, and greatly loved. 5 stars isn't really enough for what they did for Elsa and us. Georgia K9 Training center has the very best trainers available.
You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for everything you do. Lucky couldn't have a better trainer. I can't say enough about how wonderful you are.
Awesome place, awesome trainers! Would recommend 100% !

We were recommended the GA K9 NTC by a friend for our 5 month old miniature golden retriever, Winston. Could not have been happier with Winston’s obedience training. Chase, Madison, and all the other staff were great. Winston returned home from a roughly two week program trained in several verbal and hand commands. Chase took time to explain and demonstrate these commands to me when I picked him up. We even took video of the training for future reference. After getting Winston back I was training with him in a local park. A person walking their dog approached us, asked where we had Winston trained, and immediately called GA K9 NTC to schedule their dog for training. We definitely recommend this obedience training program.
