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.

This is the third time I’ve attended this tracking training, this time with my new K9. As always, I’m leaving with even stronger skillset that I will use moving forward. This tracker training gives you so many tools in order to continue training your k9, and to use in real world scenarios. Like I mentioned before, this is my third time attending…and I still learned so much. Tracking is a discipline that I don’t know if anyone ever actually masters…but what I do know is quality education/training is necessary to advance yourself and your dog to be a strong team. This is high quality training by some of the BEST!! Thank you GAK9 for another solid week of learning.

Jeff’s knowledge regarding tracking is amazing. Took a 5 day tracking class and learned more than I expected. Recommend GAK9 to anyone looking to be a better K-9 handler.

Amazing training! Came all the way down to Ocala to teach our 3 patrol dogs and handlers. This training was very eye opening and focused on the handler catching the dog’s body language changes. It was very detailed and helped me read my dog’s cues.

Our K-9 unit attended a class on tactical tracking and it was excellent. Jeff was very knowledgeable and taught us how to read our dogs better than we ever would have without him.
