We have been with George now for quite a while. The knowledge he has for training is the best you’ll find. 10/10. No need to go anywhere else in town

I checked out George’s group class before I brought Raven home at 8 weeks. I knew she was coming here as soon as she could. I have a working line GSD. she is a high intensity large dog. George Vidler did her group training and Ben Sanchez works with us one on one every Monday. I could not be happier with her/our progress. The daycare is awesome as well. This team has got my k9 back!

While we are blessed with a relatively calm and cooperative dog, George helped immensely with our GSP. After other, less obedient dogs of ours, we wanted our newest addition to be a joy to take out and about and travel with. After the basic obedience training course, we're exceptionally comfortable taking our dog anywhere he's welcome with no stress. During our classes, we witnessed George working with dogs that had challenging temperaments. He did so with respect for both handler and dog. Seeing the change in those dogs over the weeks was very impressive.

Let me start off by saying we initially reached out to got your back K9 for our 4 month old Giant schnauzer for basic obedience classes. After talking to George and Ben on numerous occasions we decided to go with the board and train. They were very attentive to our concerns and what we were looking to get out of our training for Axel. When Axel came back after 2 weeks of working with Ben he was a completely different dog. I went back to our local veterinarian and they were beyond impressed on the drastic difference in Axel’s behavior. Not only does the team at Got your back K9 teach basic obedience but they also teach your dog social skills that you might not be able to do at home. Axel was socialized with other dogs throughout the whole process with Ben. They truly treat your dog like family and I can’t recommend them enough for your dog training needs!

So glad we decided to use George for training our pup, Max. He did an excellent job. I am able to take him out with me everywhere with no worries.

George and Benjamin did an amazing job with our lovable but stubborn Frankie! In just two weeks, they completely turned things around. It was clear Frankie enjoyed his time at Bayard Kennel, and he learned so much while he was there. We’re beyond pleased with the results. Couldn’t say more positive things about this training experience — highly recommend!
