Free weekly pack walks at Rio in Gaithersburg for Good K9 Academy Board & Train Alumni
Come join us, you will meet other dog parents and you will meet some of our alumni.
Dewey the 6month old Terrier mix recently graduated from our 2 Week Board & Train Program 5-07-23. Dewey lacked confidence and obedience prior to training. He was extremely fearful of people, loud noises and foreign objects. To make things worse he was also reactive to dogs. During his first week of training he would constantly shake in fear being in new environments. He would dart away when people would get in close proximity and start to bark. Fast forward two weeks and Dewey is no long the fear reactive puppy he once was. He is now obedient, confident and can be walked offleash reliably. Check out his before and after Video.
Ruby the 4yr old Beagle, recently graduated from our 2 Week Board & Train Program. Ruby ‘s biggest issues consisted of being reactive to dogs and people on walks. After many failed attempts with nearby trainers, and witnessing us at our Packwalks with former alumni’s , Ruby’s owner decided to give us a chance to train Ruby. After two weeks with us Ruby is healing off leash in huge crowds and walking by other dogs with no issues.

If you are looking to get your dog trained the proper way, look no further. We highly recommend them!“
“Thanks, Andrew and Caroline. You guys did an excellent job. What a difference you’ve made. For those of you who are looking to have your pups professionally trained, I highly recommend them. They’re very caring, very knowledgeable, and very professional. It’s really worth it.
Thanks again, Andrew and Caroline! You’re the best!“
“I cannot believe how much of a change Otis has made since boot camp. Andrew and Caroline did a fabulous job! Otis no longer drags us on walks and acts like a crazy dog. Thanks so much Andrew and Caroline!“
“Peele was reactive on leash and now can walk off leash and not even be bothered by other dogs. We are amazed at the results. Andrew was very communicative throughout the process and sent videos and pictures! We are excited to have our other dog Lola (who will be more of a challenge) start next week!! Definitely worth it!!“
