We brought our puppy here for the on-leash training and she came back a new dog! Before training, Roxy was a wild child, not listening, jumping on everyone and pulling bad on walks. I was blown away by the progress she made in just 2.5 weeks at GAK9. She now is a dream to go on walks with and if we have her training collar on her in the house she listens so well. We will definitely be taking her back to do the off-leash training as well! And a big shout out to Chase- he did such a great job with Roxy and was super helpful and patient with us through the whole process. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and loves his job. Would recommend GAK9 for any dog you are thinking of training!

I had a great experience working with Justin at Georgia K9. They came highly recommended and I liked the training was one on one and not a “package” that fell under “basic” or “advanced “. My dog knew basic commands but we needed some work on leash training and off-leash training. I’m able to take her out for some freedom to be a dog, and she stays in sight and listens when I give commands. While the location was hard (I live in Gwinnett and they are in Canton), Justin was available at times that were convenient, and has followed up on how we are doing post-training. Highly recommend this group for training!

Chase & the rest of GA K9 have been absolutely amazing with our terrier mix, Cleo. She’s become a more confident dog and has much better manners. She’s still her fun and goofy self but has structure and knows to listen to us. I can’t express how grateful and appreciative I am for them and the work they do!

Our dog (Pyrenees mix) did the 2 week boarding with Madison and we are so impressed with her obedience training! Even was so patient to help her become better socialized with other dogs. Thank you!

Our Malinois puppy, Cora, was doing well with basic training at home, but we wanted her to progress to a higher level. Madison worked wonders with her, despite the pup's "spicy" disposition. After two weeks of training, Cora's obedience skills are much more advanced and her overall disposition at home is significantly better, too. We've already scheduled her for another week with Madison, who has been great to work with and is clearly a talented trainer.

We left our dog Blue with them so they could teach him to focus and listen so he could learn basic obedience. He was so ADHD! All over the place and ignored us. It took a few days and he got it. He then started paying attention and learning. He was also very skiddish and insecure. He has confidence and we take him anywhere in public and is a very well behaved Blue. We continue working with him and he’s the best dog ever! Thank you Ga K9. You did a fantastic job with this beautiful boy!

Eleven years ago Georgia K9 turned my wild child into the best behaved dog ever. She recently passed and they came through again with Kali, a 3 year old GSD. Kali is a bundle of energy compared to our old girl but the best behaved, sweetest, most attentive, loving dog ever. Thank you guys for making her available to us and training her to be her best. She is absolutely loving her new home with us and we love having her here with us.

After owning many dogs we adopted a dog that needed a more experienced trainer. Georgia K9 was so great helping us and gave us the tools to create a secure structured environment where Mango can be the happy dog she is. Mango loved being at their facility and always enjoys going back to visit. We are now able to manage her high energy and are able to enjoy Mango everyday!

They did such a good job with my German shepherd Koda! Madison and everyone else were amazing at taking you through the process, Koda was already the best dog I’ve ever had and knew a few basic commands, but they took him to the next level, they do a great job at teaching your dog no has a meaning behind it without getting abusive. It’s great to have the peace of mind, that your dog is going to listen to you when you need them too!

My sweet girl Harper. I thought she was untrainable. Going to GAk9 changed both of our lives for the better. Chase worked with Harper for 17 days and continues to work with her and I months after training. The outcome is outstanding. It took me quite some time to feel comfortable with giving her commands. Chase helped me realize I can be her friend and her teacher. It is not only the dog who learns, but the human as well. It has completely changed mine and Harpers relationship for the better. We both respect each other and it has truly brought us closer. I am more confident with her than ever before. Thank you Chase and GAk9 for all your help and continued support.

So we LOVE Ga K9!!!In the beginning we had our initial training with Chase and Copper, our Aussie Doodle, really took well to him as a new pup.Then we had a follow up training with Savannah, Reagan, Madison and Justin.They all worked so well with him and helped our family have a more obedient and respectful dog. Copper went from trying to herd us, nip our ankles, constantly dig in the flower beds, pee in the house, not have any commands, to listening to our directions. Listening to commands has given us the ability to protect him and our children, which has been the most important value to us.What a relief Ga K9 has been for our family. We have 4 kids and needed him to blend in with our family, not create more chaos.We are appreciative of the work and daily training they put into our beloved dog. I can not recommend them enough.We got another dog and will be bringing her to Ga K9 when she is old enough.Thank you team for training our dog!

Operating Service Dog breeding & training program, I sought out GAK9 to help me complete my learning about trailing dogs through their Handler’s Course for our Autism Assistance Dogs. I brought 3 golden retrievers from my Asheville NC facility to work and learn from the best. The most humbling experience in working with Shayne and his staff is that they are not afraid to fail and have no shame talking about when the dog “fails” its planned training (trail). I had applied this concept to all other dog training disciplines in my career, but when it came to man trailing (tracking) I was so focused on making each training session perfect that both I and the dog did not have those “failures”. Failure means you are trying your hardest and learning! Failure is not failure at all; failure tells you where your training is deficient and helps you to build a stronger training plan to address those areas. Dogs do have training limitations and GAK9 does not over promise a dogs’ ability and clear, realistic expectations make for an amazing partnership between human & dog, whether that be for your family pet or for a working dog and k9 handler. Very inclusive team at the Canton location and welcoming of trainers from other companies and disciplines. So nice in a world where other dog trainers are normally exclusive and don’t want to collaborate…we all have something to share and knowledge to gain from each other ?

GAK9 was one of the best experiences I could have asked for for my pup! I was very nervous about leaving my guy Moose for 2 weeks, but he came back so much more well-behaved and confident. Chase is the best and Moose absolutely loved him!

We are so grateful for Ga K9! 8 years ago they turned our rescue lab into a dream dog and we just picked up our new puppy yesterday! They are so good at laying a foundation and equipping you with tools to carry on at home! Dogs with manners are a must in our home and we couldn’t do it without Ga K9!
