Programs

Choose how your dog trains

Three focused programs — one philosophy. Limited intake and individual attention on every dog. No prices listed: every plan is built around your dog's goals and quoted at the evaluation.

Flagship Program 01

Board & Train

Full-immersion 2–4 week program. Your dog moves in — one dog at a time, total focus, structured days, real-world reps.

For working breeds & driven dogs that need obedience, impulse control and off-leash reliability built from the ground up.

  • Off-leash obedience proofed around real distractions
  • Calm on/off switch and genuine impulse control
  • Clean leash manners, place and duration work
  • Full handler transfer so the results stick at home
Program 02

Private Lessons

1:1 coaching for you and your dog, sold in packages. We build your handling skills session by session.

For owners who want to do the work themselves with expert guidance — or maintain and sharpen a finished dog.

  • A clear, repeatable system you can run at home
  • Better timing, mechanics and leadership
  • Targeted fixes for specific obedience gaps
  • Homework and a plan after every session
Program 03

Walk & Train

Structured decompression walks combined with focused training reps. We pick your dog up, work them, and bring them back better.

For busy owners and high-energy dogs that need consistent structure, exercise and mental work through the week.

  • Consistent structure without full board & train
  • A drained, fulfilled dog through real exercise
  • Reinforced obedience and leash manners
  • Steady momentum between lessons
Specialty breeds

Built for the breeds that need a job

High drive isn't a problem — it's potential. We know what makes these dogs tick and how to channel it into focus, control and reliability.

Belgian Malinois

Relentless engine

Intense, tireless and wired to work. We give that drive a job — turning raw energy into focus, control and a real off-switch.

German Shepherd

Loyal & sharp

Loyal, sensitive and smart. We build confident obedience and clear leadership without dulling their natural protectiveness.

Dutch Shepherd

Grit & grip

Athletic and high-drive with serious grit. We shape that engine into clean, biddable, real-world control you can trust.

Cane Corso

Calm guardian

Powerful, territorial guardians that demand structure. We instill calm confidence, social neutrality and rock-solid impulse control.

Blue Heeler · ACD

Busy mind

Smart, busy and relentless. We redirect that herding drive into engagement, manners and a dog that can finally settle.

Your dog

Not on the list?

Mixes, pointers, pit bulls, doodles — we train other breeds too. Every dog is evaluated as an individual.

Other breeds welcome. If your dog isn't a working breed, we still want to help — every dog is taken case-by-case after an evaluation.

The process

From evaluation to lifetime support

A clear path, no mystery. Here's exactly how we take your dog from where they are to where you need them.

1

Evaluation

We read your dog's temperament and drives and listen to your goals. Honest assessment, clear plan.

2

Custom Plan

We map program length, milestones and methods to your dog — never a one-size template.

3

Immersion Training

Daily structured sessions and real-world reps build obedience, impulse control and reliability.

4

Handler Transfer

We coach you. You go home knowing how to run the system so results hold for good.

5

Lifetime Support

Questions down the road? You've got us. Follow-up guidance for the life of your dog.

Why K9 Guez

Specialists, not a kennel mill

We're working-dog people first. That focus — and a deliberately limited intake — is the difference between a dog that performs in the yard and one that's reliable in the real world.

Working-breed focus

Malinois, Shepherds, Corsos, Heelers — driven dogs are our wheelhouse, not an afterthought.

One dog at a time

Limited intake means your dog gets real, individual attention — never an assembly line.

Balanced methods

Drive-based motivation plus clear, fair accountability. We train the dog in front of us — not a formula.

Real-world proofing

We don't train for the living room. Obedience is proofed around the distractions of real life.

Honest expectations

No gimmick guarantees. Straight talk about timelines, what's possible, and what it takes from you.

Lifetime follow-up

Our support doesn't end at go-home. We're in your corner for the long haul.

Our Malinois went from impossible to walk to fully off-leash reliable in the neighborhood. The handler transfer at the end is what made it stick.

M Placeholder Client · Malinois

We came in with a reactive shepherd and left with a calm, confident dog. Honest about what it would take and there for every question after.

S Placeholder Client · German Shepherd

Real structure, no gimmicks. Our Cane Corso finally has an off-switch and listens the first time. Worth every bit of the program.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight

No fluff. If you don't see your question here, reach out — we'll give you an honest answer.

Most board & train programs run 2–4 weeks depending on your dog's starting point and your goals. We'll recommend the right length at the evaluation — driven working breeds and behavior cases often benefit from the longer tiers.
Full immersion: daily structured training, real-world proofing, obedience, impulse control and leash work — plus a handler transfer so you can run the system at home, and lifetime follow-up support. Exact scope is tailored to your dog.
We specialize in working breeds — Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Cane Corso and Blue Heeler (ACD). We also train other breeds case-by-case after an evaluation.
Often, yes — but safety comes first. Behavior, reactivity and aggression cases are assessed individually at the evaluation so we can be honest about the plan, the realistic outcome and whether we're the right fit. No gimmick guarantees.
Absolutely. Early puppy foundations — engagement, socialization, manners and impulse control — set working dogs up for life. Private lessons or a tailored board & train both work depending on age and goals.
We don't make gimmick guarantees — anyone who promises a "100% fixed" dog isn't being honest. We guarantee real effort, proven methods and lifetime support. Lasting results depend on your follow-through, which is exactly why the handler transfer matters.
We're based in Forsyth County, GA (Cumming area) and serve North Metro Atlanta — Cumming, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Dawsonville and Gainesville. Drop-off, and pickup/Walk & Train logistics, are arranged at booking. Just ask.
Pricing depends on program length and your goals, so it's tailored at the free evaluation rather than one-size-fits-all. Request a quote or DM @k9guez and we'll get you exact numbers.
