Great Training Facility I love this facility and the trainers. I had heard about this place for years and when I finally needed to go I was very impressed with the level of training and knowledge the head trainer Gary and assistant Joe have with all types and sizes of dogs.

Now she will stop and stay and best of all come when call... read more

This guy is a joke !! Facilities are run down and dirty. And I don't feel he is nearly as knowledgable about dogs as he brags about.

ONLY facility I will take my dog to – K-9 Guardians in Lockport is the ONLY boarding facility I trust to handle my Akita. Gary (owner) is outstanding with knowledge, handling and training of animals. Not only dogs but he has trained wolves & bears. Years of experience show every time I go there. I learned of this facility thru a co-worker who gave it high regards.

NOT A GOOD FACILITY WORST PLACE POSSIBLE. DON'T GO THERE... I brought my dog there for there boot camp training and was horrified and in tears when I picked him up. When I got him he was 15 lbs under weight and had an extremely swollen ankle. Further review and x-rays the vet did showed that it was sprained and his doc said it looked like a door or something hard was shut on it. The doctor also said my dog was so under weight bc he had to of been starved for at least a week and was EXTREMELY dehydrated. When I called up to s... read more
