✨CLIENT TESTIMONIAL✨

We adopted our boy Sebastian last spring from a rescue. He was picked up from the streets of Puerto Rico at three months old, and we adopted him when he was about four months. He’s roughly equal parts of German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Pit Bull. We have two young kids and at the time of his adoption, a small elderly cat.

While he was never reactive in an aggressive way toward the family, he was extremely leash reactive to other dogs and small animals, jumped up on people, play bit, and was a wild man that we couldn’t keep in the house or he would tear any and everything up. Hyperactive is an understatement. When outside, he tore up everything from our lawn furniture to chewing through the cable wires feeding into the house and tore all the insulation off the main A/C feeds. He was totally uncontrollable in the house, and barked all night when in his crate. Our vet recommended we put him on medication, but even then, if he knew you were in the room, he would bark all night, leading to us having to use alternative sleeping arrangements.

We loved him, but were at our wit’s end and considering rehoming him. We tried a trainer that seemed completely disinterested in training a high-demand puppy like Sebastian, and boarded him with someone who claimed to be a “former” military dog trainer while we went on vacation, and she did far more harm than good. I tried everything from watching YouTube videos, scanning Reddit – if there was info on how to train a dog, I read it, and still nothing fit the bill.

Then, we attended a party at a friend’s house, and their dog behaved perfectly. Stayed in place, and knew voice commands. They referred us to G&S. This was our last hope at keeping Sebastian.
From the first moments we met George and Sarai, we knew we’d chosen the right family to work with our boy. We don’t feel like clients, but friends and part of the G&S pack. We invested in the two-week board and train for Sebastian, and while he was away at puppy boot camp, we got regular text and video updates. When he came home? Completely different dog. Not only that, but the training doesn’t stop when camp is over. We’ve been with them every week for follow-on sessions, stay in constant contact with questions, and it’s really like asking friends for advice. They *know* Sebastian, and they have even gone to the vet with us, and genuinely care about his well-being. The relationship is truly not at all what we expected, and in so many wonderful ways.

Sebastian is a far happier and more confident dog and family member than we could have dreamed. Before, it was a struggle to get him to sit. Now, not only does he know sit, stay, heel, down, off, leave it, but he knows both vocalized and hand signal commands. He is confident off leash. What’s even more amazing is he might look at a squirrel on a walk, or maybe look and notice another dog or person walking nearby, but then he just keeps on walking next to us. The whole family is trained on how to work with him, and his tail wags constantly.

He’s still the same high-energy puppy who will get in mischief but he is happier than ever and we all have the skills and knowledge to know boundaries and how to behave as a family. We could not be happier with being a member of the G&S family. If you are considering training your dog with people who care about everyone’s well-being, don’t go with a cookie-cutter course that just churns numbers and is flaky. It was worth the investment, and every dog we have from now on will go to G&S.

✨CLIENT TESTIMONIAL✨
We adopted Millie, a Border Collie mix, from the Fauquier SPCA in May 2024 when she was about 10 weeks old. During the first three months, we got to know her as her high-energy personality began to shine. I vividly remember trying to bring her back inside after bathroom breaks, only to end up running all over the yard trying to catch her. She also had a habit of stealing shoes and other household items to use as chew toys. Along with Millie, we have two cats, and they spent those first few months hiding upstairs, only coming out when Millie was in the kennel.

True to her breed, Millie is incredibly smart, energetic, loves people, and is curious about everything. Since it had been over 20 years since my husband or I had a puppy, we quickly realized that without proper training, things could become unmanageable. We decided that enrolling Millie in obedience training sooner rather than later was essential. Having previously used some of the “big box” training services for our first dog, we knew we needed more specialized and comprehensive training. Our goal was to help Millie grow into a well-behaved dog who could confidently join us anywhere—whether with family and friends or out in public spaces like downtown or at work.

Fortunately, during one of Millie’s check-ups, our veterinarian highly recommended G&S Dog Training. We scheduled a consultation and immediately knew we had found the trainers that could help us meet our goals.

A few months later, we cannot say enough good things about George and Sarai. They treated Millie as if she were their own dog and shared an incredible amount of knowledge with us. They asked questions we hadn’t even considered and were patient as we learned alongside Millie. Their training is highly personalized to your lifestyle and what you’d like for your dog. Now, we feel confident taking Millie out with us or working with her at home. We’re also thrilled that Millie and our two cats are able to be in the same room together.

We are so grateful to G&S Dog Training for helping set a solid foundation for Millie and cannot recommend their services highly enough!

✨CLIENT TESTIMONIAL✨
I rescued Squirrel, a standard poodle, from the PWC Animal Shelter back in September 2024 when she was just 3 months old. She was found as a stray, so when I brought her home, she had a lot of anxiety issues! She was scared to get in and out of the car, she followed me everywhere around the house, and she would destroy things, and she HATED being crated, just to name a few. I had just become an empty-nester and had some temporary health issues and quickly started to regret my decision to adopt.

I remembered that someone had brought her Rottweiler to the gym one day and that he was so well behaved, even holding his own leash! I reached back to her to get the name of her dog trainers and immediately set up a consultation with G&S Dog Training. At 4 months old, Squirrel started her 2 week board-to-train. Even after that first two weeks, I could see a tremendous change! She was more confident, she was entering and exiting the car with ease, she didn’t follow me around the house as much and she entered and exited the crate on command! We have been diligent in doing our weekly homework and just finished our remaining lessons. I have been able to see Squirrel’s goofy personality develop as she learned her commands and boundaries and can tell that she’s much smarter than I originally anticipated. We’ve even done a couple of road trips, and I didn’t have to worry about her acting out at the hotel or other people’s homes! She’s only 8 months old now but we’re going to continue with additional training to become a service dog so that I can take her everywhere! I really enjoy having her around now, thanks to G&S Dog Training! I can’t say enough about how wonderful George & Sarai are as trainers! They are friendly, patient and always make you feel like family and bring out the full potential of your dog!
