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.

I had a very enjoyable time attending the two week tracker course in Georgia. There is no shortage of knowledge between Jeff, Shayne, Quiana, and Macy. Feedback is straightforward and to the point which is very helpful in addressing mistakes. Prepare to mess up and learn from it. I believe this and GAK9's other courses would be very beneficial to any PD or military units looking for a 3rd party tracking outlet.
My sister and I dropped off our tornado – Maverick – and 2 weeks later picked up an obedient, well-behaved puppy. Chase and the GA K9 team did an amazing job with Maverick. We are beyond thrilled with how well he listens now. The GA K9 team are extremely caring and attentive to the dogs they train, and I cannot recommend them enough. They are worth every penny.
Fantastic training. Experienced and knowledgeable staff were able to coach and guide us through learning new skills. I am absolutely confident that not only are we a better tracking team, but the manner in which we track will be safer and more tactically sound for my teammates and myself. Huge thanks to Jeff and his staff, I look forward to future trainings with GA K9.
Hands down best K9 training course I've been to. Jeff and his staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They really have changed the way I run my dog for the better, and made it extremely fun along the way. Highly recommend taking this course.
