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

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google
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.

I had a great experience working with Justin at Georgia K9. They came highly recommended and I liked the training was one on one and not a “package” that fell under “basic” or “advanced “. My dog knew basic commands but we needed some work on leash training and off-leash training. I’m able to take her out for some freedom to be a dog, and she stays in sight and listens when I give commands. While the location was hard (I live in Gwinnett and they are in Canton), Justin was available at times that were convenient, and has followed up on how we are doing post-training. Highly recommend this group for training!

Chase & the rest of GA K9 have been absolutely amazing with our terrier mix, Cleo. She’s become a more confident dog and has much better manners. She’s still her fun and goofy self but has structure and knows to listen to us. I can’t express how grateful and appreciative I am for them and the work they do!

Our dog (Pyrenees mix) did the 2 week boarding with Madison and we are so impressed with her obedience training! Even was so patient to help her become better socialized with other dogs. Thank you!

Our Malinois puppy, Cora, was doing well with basic training at home, but we wanted her to progress to a higher level. Madison worked wonders with her, despite the pup's "spicy" disposition. After two weeks of training, Cora's obedience skills are much more advanced and her overall disposition at home is significantly better, too. We've already scheduled her for another week with Madison, who has been great to work with and is clearly a talented trainer.

We left our dog Blue with them so they could teach him to focus and listen so he could learn basic obedience. He was so ADHD! All over the place and ignored us. It took a few days and he got it. He then started paying attention and learning. He was also very skiddish and insecure. He has confidence and we take him anywhere in public and is a very well behaved Blue. We continue working with him and he’s the best dog ever! Thank you Ga K9. You did a fantastic job with this beautiful boy!
