What people have asked about this business.

Hours for drop in training puppies

You can call and work out a time. I drop my dog off before they open at 9. They are pretty good about being flexible.

Question on Google
How old has to be the dog yo be training..?

That's probably about right. Give them a call. Depending on the size of dog and any problematic behavior, if applicable, they may ask u to come in for a free assessment before scheduling a dog in a class w other dogs.

Community answer · Karen Johnson · 2019-09-21

I think 3 to 6 months

Community answer · Cari · 2019-09-21

K9 guardians does a wonderful job taking care of the dogs the dogs love to go to boot camp They learned a lot and it’s a social outing for the dogs. Rosie loves to go there, She thinks of it as a second home!

Gary and Joe are very knowledgeable trainers. I have seen huge improvements in my puppy’s behavior and ability to follow commands!

I can’t recommend this training facility enough! We’ve already seen an incredible difference in Bear after just a few weeks. He’s a 15-month-old Cane Corso, so he’s a large, strong dog, and I truly appreciate that they welcomed him with confidence and treated him with so much patience and understanding. Gary has been absolutely amazing. His ability to build trust and bond with Bear has been so refreshing to watch, and Bear has responded incredibly well to his training. It’s clear that Gary genuinely cares about every dog he works with and tailors his approach to each one. What I’ve appreciated just as much is the time Gary has spent teaching me. He’s given me the knowledge and confidence to continue working with Bear at home, making the training consistent and effective beyond our sessions. It’s been such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done. If you’re looking for knowledgeable, compassionate trainers who truly care about helping both you and your dog succeed, I highly recommend them!

Before going to K-9 Guardians, our dog could not be walked without pulling all over the place and barking at everything that walked. After the first day of training she came home knowing how to heal and after 4 lessons she can walk on a loose leash and doesn't bark at anything. I am very impressed.

K-9 Guardians is great. I wouldn't take my pups anywhere else for boarding!
