FirstBarkJustin was amazing. My puppy came back a whole new dog. I'm so happy I trusted GA K9 with him. He went to the two week board and train. I would highly recommend giving them a chance.

Do you offer board and training? We have a 7 month old rotterman who’s very playful and energetic, excited, and possibly anxious. We also have 5 kids that he nibbles a lot.
Yes they do offer board and training. We were very pleased with our Husky's training. Ask for Chase. He is awesome

How old does my Belgian Malenois need to be for obedience training . Need to be able to control walks. He is semi obedient and very smart 1 plus year old!
They start obedience training at 4 months.

I adopted a foster boxer/ bulldog that had been abused. Can you help her with her anxiety? I've had her a little over a year.
I would think so. They have trained our dogs but we were getting obedience. They are highly qualified and have a super reputation. They love dogs and once you visit, you will not think of going anywhere else.

My sweet girl Harper. I thought she was untrainable. Going to GAk9 changed both of our lives for the better. Chase worked with Harper for 17 days and continues to work with her and I months after training. The outcome is outstanding. It took me quite some time to feel comfortable with giving her commands. Chase helped me realize I can be her friend and her teacher. It is not only the dog who learns, but the human as well. It has completely changed mine and Harpers relationship for the better. We both respect each other and it has truly brought us closer. I am more confident with her than ever before. Thank you Chase and GAk9 for all your help and continued support.
Today we went back to GAK9 to pickup Bella’s completion certificate. Great job guys for the superior training you all gave to her. She’s definitely a different pet now. Thanks to her trainers, Savannah, Justin, Madison, and Chase, for all your help. You all did a great job. We will highly recommend you guys always. 🐾🙏

Operating Service Dog breeding & training program, I sought out GAK9 to help me complete my learning about trailing dogs through their Handler’s Course for our Autism Assistance Dogs. I brought 3 golden retrievers from my Asheville NC facility to work and learn from the best. The most humbling experience in working with Shayne and his staff is that they are not afraid to fail and have no shame talking about when the dog “fails” its planned training (trail). I had applied this concept to all other dog training disciplines in my career, but when it came to man trailing (tracking) I was so focused on making each training session perfect that both I and the dog did not have those “failures”. Failure means you are trying your hardest and learning! Failure is not failure at all; failure tells you where your training is deficient and helps you to build a stronger training plan to address those areas. Dogs do have training limitations and GAK9 does not over promise a dogs’ ability and clear, realistic expectations make for an amazing partnership between human & dog, whether that be for your family pet or for a working dog and k9 handler. Very inclusive team at the Canton location and welcoming of trainers from other companies and disciplines. So nice in a world where other dog trainers are normally exclusive and don’t want to collaborate…we all have something to share and knowledge to gain from each other 💕
Our English Bulldog Beau went to GA K9 for basic obedience. They took excellent care of him. He has still maintained/followed all of his commands. Highly recommend Chase & GA K9.
