Two words to describe PacwestK9 is “GAME CHANGER”. My boy Q which was affectionately nicknamed by Gina was restricted to staying at home or night walks. I liked to think he was a great protector when in reality he was not living his best life. He was leash reactive to dogs and men around me and my youngest daughter. He could not go on any family activities because he was always on guard for males. Gina exposed him to every scenario we needed him to be at peace in. Your family member will become a part of her family and will achieve the very best. I swear Quinton was smiling on all his training videos. Before attending training we were at the point of thinking of rehoming him. It was no quality of life for him especially with another back surgery coming up for my husband. Gina and her team helped keep my family together. She also went above and beyond to help an elderly lady gain control of her dog. Look for us now all over Washington interacting in our community without boundaries.

I cannot speak highly enough of Gina, Evy, & team. I’ve had a Malinois for over 5 years now, formerly a COVID puppy. Consulted with different trainers in Los Angeles, but when I moved to Washington, I became highly selective. I wanted a trainer who wouldn’t give up on my girl We’ve been training with Gina and team since January 2023. She’s taught us to work with our COVID puppy, and our girl has done things I never imagined she’d do. Free leash at a large park. Sat next to us while we ate as a busy patio. Hell, even played with other dogs. Gina and team even connected us to a rescue, that helped us bring home an abandoned Malinois. She’s even helped us train our new Malinois. We’re PacWestk9 only home. I trust this team so much. I can’t even explain. This isn’t a corporation, this is a small team dedicated to the quality of life of you and your dog. You won’t be disappointed.

We can’t recommend Gina and Pacwest K9 enough! Our dog Ruston started getting jealous, showing territorial and aggressive behaviors once we had our baby. We are so thankful we were connected with Gina and signed Ruston up for a 30 day board and train. The difference is night and day, he came home a changed dog! He is so much better with our son and does not show any of the behaviors he had before. He is an all around better mannered dog as well with recall and listening/following commands. Everyone on their team we have been in contact with has been so kind, if you are thinking about using Pacwest K9 for your dogs training you won’t regret it! A huge thank you to Gina and the entire team we will be forever grateful for you.

Excellent training. Highly skilled and personalized program. I've learned as much as our pup, if not more.

I could not say enough amazing things about this place. I wholeheartedly recommend them for all your training needs. Everyone asks how my 7month old yellow lab is so well trained and I tell them PacwestK9 board and train is the only way to go!
