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.

Question on Google
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

Community answer · Cari · 2019-09-21

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it’s been taking my dog here for training! Goose is a large hard to handle dog that started showing aggression in strangers on top of normal energetic behaviors. Knowing they had worked with giant schnauzers before I took him in right away and the difference is amazing. Goose loves coming in every Friday for his daycare training and has taken great strides in to becoming a happier well behaved dog. Gary, joe, Ed, and Gooses favorite Chris are the greatest support system and improved the relationship between Goose and I that I never thought we’d have. So excited to see how his progress goes after his board and train this month!

Evaluation of our GSD was easy and very informative. We are coming back for more training and are positive this will help us become better dog parents.

Gary and Joe of K-9 Guardians in Lockport, IL are the best of the best .They trained 3 of my previous dogs and are now training a terrier mix we adopted from TLC in Homer Glen. They take their time to make sure that owners and the dog’s expectations are met.

Our dog, Brandy, attended the 7 day boot camp at K9 Guardians and we could not be more pleased with the results. She is an anxious and stubborn rescue dog and we felt like we were out of options with helping her. Brandy is a completely different dog after working with Gary and Ed. She is much calmer on a walk, knows all basic commands (sit, stay, heel, come) and we feel more confident when working with her. Since Gary and Ed worked wonders with Brandy, we will be bringing her back for daycare. I highly recommend K9 Guardians to any dog owner looking to restore their relationship with their dog! We are so grateful!
