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.
Community answer · Karen Johnson · 2019-09-21
I think 3 to 6 months

Reached out to K- Guardians about a rescue dog showing aggression. Needed some help with this issue. Gary and his team worked with our little dog for 3 days. On the first day there was significant improvement. the next 2days days got better as well. Gary told us that consistency in training is the key, Highly recommend K-9 Guardians.
I highly recommend K9 Guardians. Took my shepherd to them about 13 yrs ago now back again with our golden retriever. Gary and Joe are great to work with and they take the time to show you exactly what they did during the session and have you walk through it so you know how to continue with the training at home. You will not find better trainers than k9 guardians.

I do NOT recommend K9 guardians board and train. My 11-month puppy went in happy, clean, and healthy and came home 7 days later with raw paws filled with open sores, double ear infections, complete dehydration, and terrified in fear. They were made aware of his condition immediately after he went to the vet and didn’t show any accountability or empathy for the way they treated our dog. Communication while inquiring and throughout the stay was also inconsistent. I wish there was a review warning me about the poor care before I had used this business.
My 5-month old German Shepherd puppy is already over 55 lbs. and would drag me around when leashed. After only a few hours with Gary, the pup walks on his leash w/o pulling and I am the one in control. If you want your dog trained right, Gary & K-9 Guardians is the only way to go!
