They did such a great job with training my Goldendoodle pup and myself with the one on one sessions. The facility is nice, clean, and the staff is super knowledgeable and truly love dogs. I've had Cooper back from the program for a month now and the training has stuck with following the guidelines given. I 1000% recommend them!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Incredible Transformation! I cannot say enough amazing things about these dog trainers! They took a dog who was once extremely scared, timid, and lacking confidence and helped transform him into a more obedient, confident, and happy companion. What impressed me most wasn’t just their ability to…
Our 10 month old Doberman just got home from a 3 week board and train and has improved on behavior and commands immensely! Gary and Justin are masters at what they do and took our boy in as family! They are extremely knowledgeable and have an amazing ability to teach the owner as well during private lessons. We now…
Gary, the owner, is absolutely hilarious, and he and his entire team are truly some of the most genuine, salt-of-the-earth people you will ever meet. It is so clear that they genuinely care, not just about training your dog, but about the relationship you have with your pet and helping you build a stronger bond…
Gary and Tara were so fun to work with. It’s obvious that they are passionate about what they do. I can now safely walk my 90lb dog on a leash with my stroller in public places!
If you’re looking invest in your new family puppy or needing help with an existing older dog adjust then look no further! AAK9 Training is equipped to personalize your dog’s needs. I have used another dog obedience training program over the years and hands down they are no comparable to the professional focused…
We took our rambunctious standard poodle to Tara and Gary for off leash training. Her impulsiveness has ended and obedience is amazing now! Roxy is such a smart dog and taking her here has helped her grow and become such a great companion!
Our dog Martin Seligman is an Irish wolfhound puppy and from his size alone could be dangerous. He boarded with K9 for two weeks and I’m absolutely amazed at how well behaved and the training was fantastic. He is not even five months old and behaves like the most well trained puppy I’ve seen in my entire life. We…
Gary and our trainer, Kae were awesome! We took our high-energy, curious, very smart rescue pup in at around 4 months. The most important piece is the owner education and being able to keep up with her training afterwards. We did a 14-day board and train. We have a very controlled pup who’s still the sweetest,…
They have trained both of my dogs! My English and French bulldog. I could not be happier with the education they have received. Both of my boys have learned so much and are completely manageable for me to handle in public and on walks, etc. My dogs absolutely love their trainers and the facility as well! Both of my…
Gary, Tara, and the rest of the crew were absolutely amazing with our Bluetick Mere! Our house went from chaos to calm, and we are so overjoyed with the results from our weeks of training! They listened, cared, and helped us learn how to control our puppy while still letting her be a puppy, and keep her full sassy…
All Around K9 Training took such beautiful care of Cookiedough. From the moment we walked in, it felt like he was being treated by people who truly saw him, his quirks, his sweetness, and his potential. The patience and kindness they showed made such a difference, and we could see him growing more confident every…
My husband and I were so pleased and blown away by All Around K9 with our dog Cleo, that we knew we had to send our other dog Lily with them too. Lily is a wonderful, 6 year old pup that may be too smart for her own good, stubborn, and very independently minded. Overall, Lily had a decent foundation but required…
LIFE CHANGING! In November of 2025 my wife and I adopted a beautiful dog that her brother found in the neighborhood that had been dumped on the streets and starved until she was about 20 pounds. We were so lucky to get her and she has a beautiful personality. Due to her trauma, she experienced severe separation…
We sent our three year old German Shepard for the four week training program. There aren’t enough words to explain how great of an experience this was. Gary and his team do an amazing job. Our trainer, Justin, kept us informed every step of the way. Our training sessions were thorough and we were given all the tools…
Our trainer Kay was outstanding with our Pup Snoop .. K was able to meet all our expectations. The turnout for our snoop was excellent. He’s very disciplined and obedient and at the same time he loves to have fun thank you Kay for doing such a remarkable and outstanding work with our snoop…… I thank everyone for…
We really enjoyed all around k9 taking the time to train us how to utilize the tools appropriately. Coco is a young puppy And we're excited to have a lifelong training we can utilize.
I checked with a number of trainers and companies, and the first sign that All Around was the best choice for my family and Sati was the initial consultation and introduction. As a shelter adoption, Sati had issues with being around new people and other dogs. Within the first consultation, Gary had her around new…
Our experience was great! Clay was an excellent trainer, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dog training. These guys truly know what they’re doing and genuinely care about your dog like it’s their own. We felt supported throughout the process and really appreciated the attention and care they gave. Highly recommend!
My experience was excellent and made a major difference in my relationship with my dog. It’s important that the pet owner knows to continue the training at home. The staff was always eager to answer any questions even after training was over. I highly recommend this program to help their dog to be the best it can be.
We sent our 16wk puppy, Bash, and 5 year old dog, Kali, to board and train. Our puppy for 2 weeks and dog for 3. You get multiple trainings throughout the boarding to really have a good foundation for them coming back home. We see a huge improvement for the both of them. The highlight recently was being able to walk…
I have used all around K9 to train both of my rotties and they did a great job with my dogs and my family. Gary and Clay wonderful trainers and full of knowledge. I would definitely recommend all around if you’re looking for a trainer for your dogs. They have made an our lives so much better.
Gary and his staff are excellent! We had such a wonderful experience with Gary and All Around K9 Training; I can't thank them enough for all they did! They truly go above and beyond. My dog responded so well to the training he received; I highly recommend their services!
There are not enough good things I can say about AAK9. We took our European Doberman, Cairo, to them as a puppy (around 6 months) for their board and train program and again at about a year old. Due to him being a large breed, that can have a bad wrap, and also having two small and old dogs at home, we wanted to…
Our miniature poodle Ollie, did a two week board and train here. He went in unwillingly to listen and had the attitude that he could do whatever he wanted. Coming out of this he’s been a great listener. Calmer, and understands the rules put in place. We’ve continued working with him and he’s becoming such a sweet, well-behaving pup.
We went with the 3 week board and train package for Bear, and could not be more pleased with the outcome. Bear is an American Bully mix and at roughly 10-12 months of age, he still has high energy and a lot of puppy in him. During each training session we noticed large improvements in his confidence, stability,…
We had a great experience with AAK9. Clay was our trainer and he was very easy to work with and helped us to feel more confident in handling our pup as well as helped our dog navigate through her anxiety in social situations. Id recommend Clay and AAK9 to anyone. 10/10 experience
We have a dog named, Kolohe and she is an active, playful, and spunky pup. We felt we needed help with fine tuning behavioral issues. Typical puppy things like, nipping, jumping on everyone, not taking most of our commands. It was frustrating for us, and her as well. I met with Gary, the owner and he did a great job…
It has been over a week since my puppy, Billie, completed the two-week Board & Train program with Clay, and she is a completely different puppy—in the best way. She walks significantly better, listens more, is much more confident, and is excited to learn new things. Of course, she can still be a little stubborn and…
We had an incredible experience with All Around K9! Gary, Tara and their team did an amazing job training our dog, Teddy. The 3 week board and train program alone made a huge difference, but what really stood out was the education they provided us on the tools (e-collar, crate training, etc) and how to manage our…
My dog Siren has gotten training from them several times for obedience while she was growing up. She’s now two years old and developed a fear of men, unrelated to the training. But with the help of AAK9, I’ve been able to implement methods of keeping her comfortable and confident around people and she just got…
This is the 2nd time I've used AA9K. Highly recommend. Gary runs a fantastic facility. I've had the pleasure of working with two different trainers now. Recent one is Clay. Super responsive, very personable, and overall great a trainer. We took our pup who is 16 weeks old. He came back with a great understanding of…
Gary and Tara are the best! Highly recommend.
After completing the 3-week board and train program with my dog Opal, I can confidently say that working with Gary and Clay (our main trainer) at All Around K9 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Opal came from a tough background — a traumatic experience with my grandma’s “guard” dog left her reactive and…
Gary, Kae and the entire team are incredible. Darla was left for two weeks for boarding and training and she came back a completely different dog. I 10/10 recommend them to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed.
I recently did the board and train for my XL bully at All Around K9 training. Best decision I could’ve made for my pet. Gary and the trainers did an amazing job with her. Her ability to focus in high distraction environments has immensely improved, her confidence has grown, also her understanding and response to on…
I could not be happier with the training, communication and commitment that Gary & Jason have had with both of my dogs in their training programs! Hands down- this is the team you want for your furry kids!
All Around K9 Training exceeded our expectations. My family and I originally reached out simply looking for a safe, reliable place to board our dogs while we traveled, but finding Gary and his team turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dogs. Gary came to our home for an initial assessment…
I can’t say enough good things about AAK9. They didn’t just “train” my dog, they genuinely brought out the best version of him. I went in hoping for improvement, but the transformation has been on a whole different level. My dog is more confident, calmer, and actually listens without me having to wrestle for his…
To be honest I’m struggling to even write this review right now. I just got my girl back and I’m so overcome with emotions. I am so thankful and so very blessed. Hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made was investing in my dog with All Around K9 Training! The team is filled with an amazing set of…
