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.

Community answer · dolly schmit · 2020-09-21

They open at 9am and I am not sure the close time. They are very good.

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

Omg K-9 Guardian did a wonderful job on training my non socialized Gsd puppy. My boy Ruger was in 2 homes prior and we're not great. My buddy Ruger on his 3rd happy home.

Omg K-9 Guardian did a wonderful job on training my non socialized Gsd puppy. My boy Ruger was in 2 homes prior and we're not great. My buddy Ruger on his 3rd happy home. He was going to a kill shelter and put down in 24 hours. Was not going to let that happen to this puppy. My 1st Gsd was trained at K-9 Guardian, I knew I had to take Ruger also. After a week at boot camp he is a different dog!! I truly recommend K-9 Guardian. Make sure you do your follow up! Thank you Gary,Joe and rest of your team. You can check up on your dogs progress and you will get a response.

We took our year old Shepard to K9 Guardians through advice of our son & his wife. Cinnamon, our dog, went through a 10 day training and came back a new dog. She is great with her commands. A week after we learned what she was trained on, we went back and showed Gary how she has retained everything. Of course Cinnamon has so much more to learn that we are continuing weekly day camp. She loves Gary and his associates. Thanks everyone. My post mysteriously disappeared i have more to write

Went on vacation last week and entrusted our 8 month old puppy into the hands of K-9 Guardians. When we came back, she was a completely different dog. Not only was she very timid, she was filthy, sticky, and smelled like urine. She's such a sweet dog and now, every time we try to pet her, she flinches. She doesn't want to leave our side. If I could give this company zero stars, I would. My family and I are very disappointed in the treatment towards our dog. Do NOT entrust any animal with these people.

Brutus did 12 days of bootcamp and Brutus is much more manageable now. Brutus gets excited when we pull up for boarding. Gary and Joe are great and always welcome Brutus and I. Great people and facility. Highly recommend

In 1 week of boot camp they trained our dog to get along with other dogs and to be better on a leash. Amazing turnaround.
