All Around K9 Training

We missed this girl so much, but it was absolutely worth it! Huge thank you to All Around K9 Training for everything you did for Tiny and for me. The training not only boosted Tiny’s confidence, but also helped us communicate better and strengthened our bond. Tiny used to be very anxious, reactive to other dogs, and unsure of herself. Now she’s more confident, calmer, and we have the tools to keep building on the solid foundation your team gave us. You can truly tell everyone there cares deeply about the dogs and the families they work with, and it shows in the quality of training and support they provide. If you’re looking for training for your furry family member, I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you again to the entire All Around K9 team for everything you do!

The AAK9 team is truly outstanding. I had the privilege of randomly meeting Gary in my neighborhood while he was working with another dog and owner, and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. After an incident with one of my three dogs, I knew it was time to take action and reached out to AAK9. I can’t express how thankful I am for Gary and his entire team. They were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the process, helping not only my dogs, but also my wife and me. The guidance and education we received made a huge difference, and I’m forever grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our family.

I could never recommend AAK9 enough! Sending my Boerboel, Primo, to the 2-week board and train was the best decision I could’ve made — not just for him, but for myself too. Gary, Kae, and the entire team of trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and truly take pride in their work. From the very beginning, they made me feel confident that Primo was in the best hands. The communication, the structure, and the care they put into every detail exceeded my expectations. Primo came home more confident, obedient, and balanced, and I finally feel equipped with the tools I need to keep him on the right path. AAK9 gave us both exactly what we needed, and I’m so grateful for their dedication. I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else!

After completing the 3-week board and train program with my dog Opal, I can confidently say that working with Gary and Clay (our main trainer) at All Around K9 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Opal came from a tough background — a traumatic experience with my grandma’s “guard” dog left her reactive and fearful around other dogs and people. For years, she either bolted away or rumbled low growls anytime we encountered another dog. I spent nearly three years researching trainers before trusting All Around K9, and I’m so glad I did. From day one, Gary and Clay took the time to evaluate Opal carefully and show me the training steps they’d use. They updated me every evening, and by the end of week one, Opal was already calmly interacting with other dogs and bonding with Clay. Midway through training, they discovered Opal had a severe UTI that had been affecting her ability to train effectively. Instead of pausing the program, they immediately took her to the vet, got her treated, and continued her training without missing a beat. By week three, my once-fearful dog was walking through department stores and pet shops with confidence — calm, alert, and happy. We plan to return for a few more weeks of training to build on her progress. Beyond helping Opal, Clay and Gary taught us how to truly communicate with her — to understand her body language, support her focus, and reinforce that teamwork is what she wants most. We now take Opal on errands and outings regularly, following the detailed training plan they provided, and every day she feels more balanced and excited to explore the world again. If you’re considering professional training, I can’t recommend All Around K9 enough. It’s not just a program for your dog — it’s an education for you too. Photo shows Opal on the right (Black Dog)
