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!
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.

We absolutely love Ga k9. We have a 2 year old gsp and she has been going for training with chase hagerman since she was a baby. We love how clean and orderly the facilities are and I loved getting updated pics of my girl while she trains. Being an over protective doggy mom I was super nervous about leaving her but they made me feel at ease leaving her with them for over 2 weeks. I highly recommend the establishment if you are in the market for amazing training with some amazing people. They truly love dogs and what they do.

We've had our two sheepadoodles work with GAK9 and couldn't be happier. They've done both the basic and advanced obedience courses. GAK9 took our sweet, lovable dogs and turned them into sweet, lovable dogs who listen. As new dog parents, it was hard for us to leave them away "at camp" for weeks at a time. But Shayne and Chase and the folks were great about keeping us updated with texts and pictures throughout. We couldn't ask for more and would recommend them to anyone!

We were so impressed from start to finish with GA K9 for our 6 month old Belgian Malinois. She completed basic obedience with Chase and the crew at GA K9 and we can’t wait to take her back to further her off leash obedience. Mayhem came back a new pup with all the same craziness that we love, but under control with awesome on leash obedience. She no longer pulls on the leash and she moves through commands on the leash with ease. Through out her stay at GA K9, I was in constant contact with the owner and her trainers through text and through their picture website. I was sent pictures and videos along the way. We felt totally at ease with leaving our sweet puppy and she had a blast. The proof is in her obedience and confidence, but also in her demeanor when brought back for more training sessions with all our kids too. She loved it there. Very grateful!

Cannot recommend GA k9 enough. I sent my great dane puppy there for basic training and then advanced training and the confidence boost he got was incredible. Chase was awesome every step of the way and I continue to recommend him and GA k9 to everyone I know who is looking for training at any level.
