About Mace’s Malinois Guardian K9

What they offer

Mace's Malinois Guardian K9 is a kennel in Summerfield, Florida that breeds and trains Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds and German Shepherds. Its training page lists obedience training, protection training and service dog training, offered as in-home private lessons or as board and train at the kennel. The contact page names Ocala, The Villages, Lake County, Marion County and Sumter County for private in-home obedience training, and lists help with aggression, biting, jumping on people, off-leash training, potty training, nipping, guard dog training, bite work, executive bodyguard protection and service tasks. The My Dog Needs Help pages add puppy training, behavior modification for fearful or shy dogs and personal protection work for Summerfield, The Villages, Ocala and Belleview.

How it works

The service dog page says dogs chosen for service work are selected for temperament, intelligence and drive and are individually trained to perform specific tasks for people with disabilities, and buyers fill out a survey describing the tasks they need. For board and train, dogs stay at the kennel while the staff handle the training.

Who runs it

The business traces back to Jerry Mace, who started MyDogNeedsHelp.com and later merged it into this site. According to the staff page, Gabrielle (owner and trainer) and her husband Raj (co-owner) acquired the kennel in 2024. Sharon is the lead trainer and specializes in service dog training, and Junniell specializes in protection and decoy work.
