About CGS K9 Services

Albemarle kennel and training

CGSK9 Services is located in Albemarle and says it serves Concord, Charlotte and the surrounding areas. The business also raises and sells Czech-import German Shepherds, but its obedience program is open to almost any breed. It operates by appointment only and is closed on Sundays.

Board and train

The main training format is a board and train class that runs four consecutive weeks. Owners get one formal update during the stay, then a copy of the learned commands, a demonstration and time with the trainer on pickup day. Follow-up classes are offered for a small fee. Saturday morning appointments are available as an alternative to boarding the dog for training.

Range of work

The site describes training from basic obedience through to personal protection.

Boarding

Boarding is booked by text only at a flat daily rate, with set drop-off and pickup windows and vaccine records required.

What to ask

Ask whether your dog suits board and train or Saturday sessions, and what the follow-up classes cover.
