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...
★★★★★
We had such a great experience with All Around K9 Training and truly can’t recommend them enough! One of my favorite parts was the consistent communication, they sent detailed updates three times a week with fun pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while our dog was there. It...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
At the all around k-9 training services has overall been an excellent experience for my puppy and I to get hands on training. Everyone is super kind, honest, and very diligent when it comes to scheduling for training. I felt very at ease knowing my puppy is in good hands with motivational trainers...
★★★★★
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...

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...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
The AAK9 team is amazing. We did a two week board and train followed by weekly lessons for 6 weeks. Before AAK9 we couldn’t take our 1.5 year old lab in public or walk him around on leash him due to his excitement and anxiety. Now? Night and day difference. He is so much more calm and well behaved...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
I could never recommend AAK9 enough! Sending my Boerboel, Primo, to the 2-week board and train was the best decision I could’ve made — not just for him, but for myself too. Gary, Kae, and the entire team of trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and truly take pride in their work. From the very...
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
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...
★★★★★
We have loved working with Gary and Clay at All Around K9 Training. We have worked with them for our two dogs, Bo and Murphy. We were skeptical in the beginning after some bad experiences with prior trainers but immediately felt the difference with All Around K9 Training. Our dog Bo is a...
★★★★★
Me and my partner went in with low hopes in being able to reunite our dogs or make any progress, especially because my dog is dog aggressive. But with all of the education and lessons Gary taught us it made us realize how much we were letting our dogs do things that they shouldn't do which...
★★★★★
I was so impressed with the training that Millie received. This program helped her come out of her shell and let her personality shine even more. She is so much more confident and obedient. I now have the tools to continue training at home. I felt very supported throughout the whole process and...
