FirstBarkVery happy with Gary and his team at K-9. We have been using him for boarding and training for 15 years. They are very knowledgeable in caring for and training dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help training a dog with behavior issues. They have been pivotal in helping me train my dog with behavior issues.

Hours for drop in training puppies
You can call and work out a time. I drop my dog off before they open at 9. They are pretty good about being flexible.

They open at 9am and I am not sure the close time. They are very good.

How old has to be the dog yo be training..?
That's probably about right. Give them a call. Depending on the size of dog and any problematic behavior, if applicable, they may ask u to come in for a free assessment before scheduling a dog in a class w other dogs.

Did not like this place or the negative training. Definitely do not recommend
We have been coming here for years with our various rescue dogs and they do a fantastic job with training both the dogs and us. I love boarding my pup here too as I can have them continue his training while he’s being boarded.
Gary is the best

I have only used the boarding services with K9 Guardians twice and we won’t be back. I honestly thought the first time was fine, I have two dogs a husky and German shepherd and I know they can be a lot to deal with at times. Yesterday was The second time I picked my dogs up after a 4 day stay. My husky had speckles of urine all over his white face and down his chest. My shepherds fur was all crusty on his stomach, as if he’d been lying in urine and had feces in the fur around his butt. They both stunk and felt grimy to the touch..these are show dogs and I am a professional groomer, meaning I normally bathe them every 2 weeks, so for them to come home like this after 4 days, I was disgusted. I check over both dogs once we were home and both had a dry nose and deeper red gums that were very dry, indicating dehydration. They went straight for the water and drank about a bowl each. They make you pay before getting your pet, if I would’ve seen them I wouldn’t have paid for such poor service. This bordered on animal abuse and I won’t be leaving my pets in their care, or lack there of, again!
