Garden State K9

Absolutely LOVE GSK9!!! Both of my girls are graduates and enjoy spending time in their Group Play Full Day - they always come home super exhausted! When they board with Bryan H. overnight, I know that they are in excellent hands and always come home happy - I have zero worries that my girls are getting the top notch care (sometimes I think they are sad to come home because they had so much fun with Bryan and his family). Everyone at GSK9 is dog focused, ensuring the dogs health, happiness, and obedience as a whole package.

My dog and I have been training with garden state k9 for about 7 months now and it has been nothing but a positive experience. I have been to other training facilities in the past and there is no comparison. My dog started in their Top Dog Program with Bryan and I couldn’t believe the results. In just 3 weeks my dog came home happy and trained. I was hesitant to send her away for 3 weeks but it was the best decision I’ve made. She came back with confidence and the obedience training she needed to be a happy and safe dog. I take her everywhere now and I don’t have to worry. She still gets excited when she sees Bryan and all of the staff at garden state K9. What I also love is that they volunteer their time and expertise by helping to train and adopt out shelter dogs . I recently adopted an 8 month old puppy that has had a great start and foundation because of them. The daycare is also a plus and I know they are safe while getting to play with other dogs. You will not regret spending he money and you will have an even better bond with your dog.

My husband and I did the daytime training with Melissa for our older dog because he never really had that many rules before and he did not want to adjust to the rules with our new puppy. She worked with Blu for 3 weeks and we saw a completely new dog. We then did the top dog program for both our dogs with Bryan. He was very communicative and listed to the areas we were having trouble. By the end of the program, our 5 month old puppy was walking great, he was potty trained, and he was playing just fine with our 5 year old dog. We truly cannot thank Bryan enough for all that he has done to put our minds at ease and give our dogs the best care/training! If you’re considering top dog, I highly recommend Bryan!

Wow. Just wow. I am so impressed with the professionalism at Garden State K9. The whole team really cares about what they do and I trust them completely with my pup. I put Felix in the Top Dog training program and he was paired with Cody Sachs. Cody was great. He keep me up to date with how Felix was progressed and sent me lots of photos and videos. His last session with me and my kids was so much fun and what an incredible change in Felix. He’s still Felix only so much better. Well mannered and very obedient. Only hope I can do the program justice by maintaining Felix’s unbelievable progress. It’s good to know the team is there if I stumble at all. If you are thinking about doing Top Dog then do it. It’s money well invested! I for one, am very happy. Thanks Cody! And thanks to Garden State K9!

A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You, Bryan! We can't thank Bryan enough for the incredible transformation he's made in our home and in our 6 month old puppy, Xena, - Husky-Malanois-German Shepherd mix, Xena came with a lot of energy, intelligence, and… challenges. We were really struggling with nipping, reactivity, and recall, and despite our best efforts ( hours of training, mental and physical stimulation per day), nothing seemed to work. Our three young children were even becoming afraid of her. Enter Bryan. Over just three weeks, he worked wonders. The difference in Xena is night and day. She has gone from an overly excited and reactive puppy to a calm, loving, and obedient companion. Her demeanor has completely shifted—she's now receptive to affection, responsive to commands, and clearly wants to do the right thing. Bryan didn't just train our dog—he brought peace back into our home. What once felt like chaos now feels manageable and even joyful. We were seriously questioning our decision to bring a puppy into our family, but after Bryan’s expert training, we can't imagine life without Xena. Quick examples - would have never dreamt of taking Xena in public by myself before this -now she goes into Starbucks, hangs out on patios with other dogs and people passing by. Can’t wait to take her to our favorite winery and our sons baseball games soon! Bryan is not only highly skilled, but truly gifted at what he does. We are so grateful for his help and can’t recommend him enough to anyone who feels overwhelmed or unsure of their path with their dog. He truly changed everything for us. Castro Fam
