Gina and team really helped us with our sweet but anxious Shepherd/Husky. She helped us morph fear/anxiety into calm/control. I am now walking her in a busy park without reactivity or leash pulling. Even working on off-leash training. Thanks PacwestK9.

We adopted a dog that had never lived in a house and needed some help! We took him to train with Gina when we first got him to learn the basics - walking on leash, sit, stay (and for her to train us). Then we signed him up for PacWest’s Pup Fit where he goes to get structured play. When we went on a long vacation we had him to a board and train with Alexis to fine tune his skills - non reactivity, climb, come, etc. PacWest is huge part of our boy’s life and we’re grateful to them for all their work with him.

We had our fox red lab go through a 30 day board and train with Alexis and couldn’t be more pleased with Lucy’s progress. I couldn’t take her walks without her pulling me the entire time. Now she can walk for an hour, loose leash and by my side. She’s learned the art of doing nothing, even when our two grand daughters are here. The “climb” is a game changer. And don’t even get me started on her recall. She can be on a no leash walk and up ahead 50 ft, if I give a quick whistle she sprints to my sit and literally hops into heal position. AMAZING! The six personal training sessions have been great for us to learn what she has learned and work on things that she might need a little help on. Way to go PacwestK9.

We just finished our last group session for the behavior modification package we had for our lab Cooper. We had two trainers before and did not get results anywhere close to what we got with Gina and the Pacwest K9 team. She taught us many great handling tips and techniques for different situations. She also showed us what we were doing wrong too which no other trainer did which helped get training results we were wanting. Can’t thank Gina and her team enough for helping us with our reactive dog and highly recommend her.

Gina is a great resource for dog training. We took puppy class and basic obedience and very much enjoyed the group training sessions. I have also boarded my boy with Gina and know he is in good hands and that his stay is structured, predictable, and safe. THANKS PACWESTK9!
