Sharon's depth of understanding about dogs and their behavior is very deep. Her prices are very reasonable for the amount of attention and trouble she takes in training your dog.

I brought my 1 year old German Shepherd to her with a laundry list of behavioral issues, mainly arising out of no opportunities for socialization and never being left alone due to Covid keeping us at home all the time. He's been home for 2 weeks now and his behavior/obedience is simply night and day. I opted for the 3 week overnight training because I knew he would need at least that much hands on training to permanently correct some of his bad habits. Once I decided to do it, I started dreading the day I dropped him off and worried, worried, worried he was going to be depressed and traumatized and think I had abandoned him. There was none of that, zero. Maureen absolutely loves dogs, not surprisingly, and has at least 4 of her own fur kids, so she's completely empathetic and intuitive when it comes to these concerns and she goes above and beyond to accommodate both you and your pup and communicate with you all along the way. The pictures I posted of Bear are all ones she took and sent me while he was staying with her along with updates on what they were doing and his progress. She is also incredibly detail oriented in everything she does, the facility is absolutely pristine, and she lives on site and watches the pups live on cam all the time! The area where the dog's crates are kept and they sleep has been set up like a home to enable her to train for at home issues like grabbing things off the counter or jumping on furniture. A newly remolded barn serves as another training area, along with several outdoor enclosed play areas/runs, the whole property is just really beautiful. There's not much else to say except if you're on the fence, do it! You and your doggo will be so much happier and you'll get so much more out of your relationship! Do not hesitate to contact her with any questions, she is a true pro, absolutely loves what she does and it shows.

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

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.

After researching several training options, we found Christy--and we're so glad we did. Her approach, which avoids shock collars and focuses on positive, effective training methods, was exactly what we were looking for. We started with the puppy class and then moved into the adolescent class, and we're incredibly pleased with the results. At just 8 1/2 months old, our boys are doing great. We continue working with them and really appreciate having a jump drive of materials to revisit when we need a refresher or help with a behavior challenge. Christy has been an outstanding support throughout the process. Her classes are comprehensive, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. A heartfelt thank you from Enzo, Jax, Mike, and me--for your passion, your guidance, and for helping give our boys the best start possible!
