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.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Georgia K9 training center. Our puppy “Walter” underwent their board and train program and the results were very impressive. The trainers are professional,, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do. Our pup came back with a great foundation that has been invaluable as he matures. We are very satisfied - they are always available for my questions and I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to give their dog the best training experience possible.
Chase and his team did a wonderful job with Nika and Fenway. Their training program is life-changing and their boarding facility is fantastic. Thank you for a worry-free experience!!

Chase and the rest of the K9 staff did an excellent job with my 1 1/2 year old pitbull, Bronx. Bronx is a recuse and unfortunately his past was not very good.. prior to training it was difficult to give him commands, take him on walks, have him out in public settings, and even introducing him to new dogs was very difficult because he was reactive. With the help and training of this wonderful team Bronx’s quality of life has COMPLETELY changed! He is more confident, he listens well, is very obedient, and LOVES making new furry friends while still keeping his playful, cuddly personality. I’m am overjoyed with how well behaved Bronx came home. I will be forever grateful for the work that they do at Georgia K9 training and how they are enhancing the lives of sweet dogs and their owners. If you are considering GA K9 training I highly recommend sending your pup here, they will love it and you will too!

I can’t say enough about the quality of the work these guys do. I took my then 5 month old Great Pyrenees mix to GaK9 in Canton to work with Chase for 2 weeks to learn basic obedience. My purpose is to have a good travel companion. Fast forward 4 months and we were suddenly called on to be part of my mother’s hospice care team, living for several weeks in an assisted living center. Impeccable manners are essential. It’s been a challenge but my now 9 month old puppy’s solid training, skills and tools he learned at GaK9 has made it quite manageable. The ongoing support by phone, has helped to make a tough situation into a positive experience for my dog and I both.
