Brought my 8 month old German Shepherd in yesterday and have seen immediate results in his manners. Will definitely be bringing in my other 2 dogs for training and referring them to everyone! I brought my lab mix dog here for service dog training. After nearly a year of training and not really seeing any improvement even on basic commands we decided to bring him to K-9.

Baloo went for a week long camp and came back a different dog! He has learned so much, and so have we. It's actually enjoyable taking him for a walk as he now listens. And he absolutely loved everyone at K9 guardians. Went back for review course and he was so happy to see his friends! Would highly recommend to anyone!

We are super pleased with the training our 2 year old beagle, Shiloh, received at K9 Guardians. The staff is super friendly and excellent at teaching dog owners how to properly continue the training at home. Shiloh had an issue with barking at everything that walked past the house or while on walks and now with simple commands we correct the issue. I have to say it's more pleasant taking him on walks now. Thank you to the team at K9 Guardians for everything!

I would 100% recommend K9 Guardians to anyone who is interested in boarding and training their furbaby. My husband and I decided to board and train our 1 year old 80lbs "puppy" around the time our daughter was due. Joe and Gary were very flexible with the drop off date due to the fact that baby's come on their own time. Our "pup" Freyja spent several days at K-9 Guardians and we can definitely see the difference once we took her home, no more pulling on the leash when we go out for a walk!
Which is a big deal for us because its something we struggled with since she was 6 months old. Thank you K-9 Guardians for doing such a great job, we truly appreciate it. We'll definitely be seeing you soon for some more follow up training

The worse experience I have ever had at a boarder in my life and I have own dogs for 40 years. They failed to bath my dogs, they when I told them ahead of time I would be coming in at 1pm the failed to mention they would charge an extra day. When I tried to have a discussion they were very rude. The fly a veteran flag outside, and myself and my wife are both combat veterans. I plan to post this on every forum possible don't ever use this place! They cannot spell customer service!

K9 guardians did a great job helping our dog with aggression issues and learning new commands. You can tell Gary, Joe, and the other trainers really care about the dogs. They were always very professional, informative, and helpful when dealing with the issues we were having. We will forever be grateful to K9 Guardians and recommend them to anyone in need of dog training services.

My dog Samantha has only had 4 sessions so far and what an amazing change in the way she walks on a leash and listens to commands. They are great people and professional. I'm glad I followed the advice of other people's recommendations and made that call to K9! Looking forwards to more success in the training for Samantha. It's such a good feeling when your dog can tell where you are taking them and you can see they are happy to go! Sleeps like a baby when she gets home.

K9 Guardians is family owned and is absolutely amazing! It is clear how much they love animals. Everyone we have met has been fantastic with both of our dogs. Not only did they train our dogs with integrity, but they also explained the reasoning behind each of the commands and took time to work with us. We never felt rushed. We would recommend K9 Guardians to anyone! Thank you Joe, Gary, Ed and Nikki we are so grateful to you all and Ebby and Melady love you.
