Both Gina and Hyson are incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and I am grateful for them helping me learn how to understand mine. We appreciate the effort & time put into our Rex boy. The expertise of his trainers really shows in his transformed behavior and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with PacWestK9 for our new rescue dog Max. My family and I strongly recommend their services to anyone needing help with their K9. Thank you Gina and Hyson!

All was lost for our boy Rex! We got him as an ESA after my first born son died during a mistake my medical team made at the time of birth and delivery. The experience was very traumatizing as it almost cost me my life as well. Wallowing in shame, I was at the point where I had no motivation or drive to do anything at all - so my husband thought us getting a puppy would be a good distraction. A distraction he was! Not sure we were ready for all that came with a working line German Shepard - he took us through there lol. To add to the madness, I became pregnant again, so caring for Rex got even more difficult by the day. We were both getting bigger at the same time, so the leash pulling and rough housing was getting out of control and Rex spent a lot of time in his kennel as a result. I had so much anxiety my second pregnancy I still needed my Rex for redirection of that fear. After I gave birth the second time, someone at work recommended Gina - so I told my husband and we took a chance, and we’re so glad we did! We put Rex in a 30-day board & train and he came back completely transformed into a dog with structure and discipline. I will say, immediately upon his return home he tri

I first took my dog to Gina about 7 years ago for behavior modification when he was about a year old. Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him. My dog had Parvo as a puppy and unfortunately became very reactive towards people and other dogs afterwards. Gina is extremely knowledgeable and she was very kind and patient with me and my pup. She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language. I have recommended her to friends and family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality trainer in the area. I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Gina is the only person I trust with my dog and we are so grateful to be working with PacwestK9!

Can’t recommend Gina enough! She is a phenomenal coach and extremely knowledgeable. She has built so much confidence in myself and my dog. We do bite work and advanced obedience with her but any program she offers is worth it!

Working with Gina has been a game changer for my dog Sydney. Her decoy skills are exceptional, but what really stands out is how thoughtfully she reads and approaches each dog. She made both Sydney and I feel comfortable right away. I am new to bite sports, and I wish I found Gina sooner—I’ve learned so much since going to her. It’s not often that you find someone that decoys and has the titles on their own dogs to prove their skill. Since training with Gina, I’ve seen a huge improvement in Sydney’s confidence, her ability to switch drives, and her obedience around bite work. Everything feels more clear, more controlled, and more connected. For the first time, I truly feel like we’re ready to start chasing our PDC. If you’re serious about building a strong, confident, and clear dog in protection work, Gina is the real deal.
