K-9 Guardians - Lockport, Illinois

I have been taking my German Shepherd Gus to Gary and his team for several weeks now and have to say they are amazing. When I got Gus, I was working afternoon shifts, so unfortunately, I failed to socialize him. Fast forward to now, he is a completely different dog. I can not say enough good things about Gary and the team over at K9 Guardians. If you have an unsocialized dog or a slightly aggressive dog, K9 Guardians is your best bet in the area. Not to mention their pricing is amazing!

I do NOT recommend K9 guardians board and train. My 11-month puppy went in happy, clean, and healthy and came home 7 days later with raw paws filled with open sores, double ear infections, complete dehydration, and terrified in fear. They were made aware of his condition immediately after he went to the vet and didn’t show any accountability or empathy for the way they treated our dog. Communication while inquiring and throughout the stay was also inconsistent. I wish there was a review warning me about the poor care before I had used this business.

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it’s been taking my dog here for training! Goose is a large hard to handle dog that started showing aggression in strangers on top of normal energetic behaviors. Knowing they had worked with giant schnauzers before I took him in right away and the difference is amazing. Goose loves coming in every Friday for his daycare training and has taken great strides in to becoming a happier well behaved dog. Gary, joe, Ed, and Gooses favorite Chris are the greatest support system and improved the relationship between Goose and I that I never thought we’d have. So excited to see how his progress goes after his board and train this month!

We had a rescue pitbull that couldn't be around other dogs. Every walk was a battle. We dropped her off for a week of training, and she's a different dog. Walks are enjoyable, she can be around other dogs without issue. These guys are great. They were a fraction of the price from other trainers and the quality was superior. We can't recommend them enough.

My 5-month old German Shepherd puppy is already over 55 lbs. and would drag me around when leashed. After only a few hours with Gary, the pup walks on his leash w/o pulling and I am the one in control. If you want your dog trained right, Gary & K-9 Guardians is the only way to go!

Gary, Joe, and the rest of the K9 Guardians crew are top notch. My family brought my childhood dog in almost 20 years ago and I have now brought my own dog. I have a high energy breed and the difference has been night and day in only a few weeks. Pricing is more than reasonable and I would recommend to anyone

Some businesses are just businesses, going through the motions to make a living. Then there are some businesses that are a way of life, people who are passionate about what they do.

K9 Guardians is one of those passionate businesses. A family business that serves Man’s Best Friend.

Over the years my family has used K9 Guardians for short term boarding and training. Recently, we have had to use them for long term boarding. I rest assured that Gary and Joe take great care of our dogs, treating them like family.

My dog Whiskey seems to as well as can be expected being boarded here when I have to go out of town. Everyone is friendly and takes time to answer my questions. I am able to get an update on how Whiskey is doing while I'm gone. It's never fun to leave Whiskey behind but I feel good about boarding her at K-9. She's always happy and healthy when I pick her up.
