Easy 6 star if you could! For the short readers GAK9 is a priceless God send for obedience and…read moreenvironmental training! My wife and I decided to get a German Shepherd puppy female Heidi. I have wanted to have and train a female GSD (German shepherd dog) all my life since I was raised from birth with a female GSD, Heidi. I had also spent countless hours researching training methods and facilities. My wife was not convinced that boarding for training was how she wanted to have Heidi trained, but after meeting with Chase Haggerman at Georgia K9 NTC and our beautiful Heidi nipping her heels with 3 month old teeth, she agreed to enrolling Heidi in the basic obedience program. I must say thought the week Heidi was there was not easy for us, but it was tolerable knowing who's hands she was in with GAk9. They have an incredible facility with excellent staff. Chase Haggerman and John Wyrick are two of the most awesome guys I know! They are both extremely talented with K9 handling and have my up most respect and appreciation for setting the foundation for Heidi. A few months after completing basic obedience training we returned for intermediate obedience training and choose to train Heide on the remote collar...another priceless decision. As we pulled up to GAK9 NTC Heidi was very excited and happy to be there! We have taken Heidi everywhere that is excepting to us because Ultimately I hope to work her as a therapy dog. I would like to take her to retirement homes, hospitals, the VA. And put a smile on someone's face. Georgia K9 has an environmental program that we plan on enrolling her in as well as advanced obedience training. We are also going to work toward canine good citizen certification. I have no doubt with the help of the great folks at George K9 Heidi will be a star pupil. If you have read this far I appreciate you attention and assure you that if you want a great life with your four legged family member. And you want your pup to live a happy and safe life call on the trainers at Georgia K9! They are not your average dog trainer and the cost is nothing compared to the benefits of the training. Not to mention after training you can board for an extremely reasonable price and you pup is not locked in a crate like most other boarding facilities. I'll stop here and close with this. You cannot go wrong with Georgia K9. You have a customer and friend for Life! Alex Jess and Heidi

He came out a different dog! Walking on the leash is a joy, he auto sits when I stop walking, walks next to me, sits, lays down, and comes to hand signals.

Before we picked him up they reviewed the training with us so we can easily use it at home, provided a memory stick of the training so we can refresh ourselves with the training. Many thanks to Georgia K9. I would use them again for training.

I completed the Basic Course, Professional Course and Advanced Course. Without the world-class training that Joan and Sean provided me, I would not be where I am at today. Both on-line studying/examinations along with book reports and more importantly the hands on training in the class room undoubtedly played a key role in my successful dog training business today. Not only was the personal educational aspect of training beneficial but also the hands on training with my personal canine companion (requirement of course to have your own canine and pass certification(s)). Sophie (my Border Collie) has played an essential role as my demo dog for all of my group and private lessons. She has continued on to become a registered therapy dog. As for the training I received from Jo Thor's, I've gone on to become a therapy dog tester/observer, Canine Good Citizen tester for AKC. If you are looking for a state accredited vocational academy with a nationally known director, senior instructor and founder along with the best instructor (Sean - whom is also a graduate and owns his own dog training business) around? This just might be the dog trainer academy for you! Best Regards, Rob and Sophie

The one year old has had extensive training and knows better. I called Karen after receiving a referral from our regular facility. She called me back the same day, listened to our issues, provided recommendations/solutions we could implement until they were able to come to our house. She informed me that basically, our household was struggling with a hierarchy issue. Within the couple of weeks that we were awaiting our appointment, we saw much improvement between the two dogs and ultimately did not follow through with the training. Karen was completely understanding and thrilled to know that they were getting along. If the troubles were to re-occur, I would not hesitate to give Karen a call!

We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.
