Precision K9 Shaping - Denham Springs, Louisiana

I recently enrolled my dog River in Precision K9 Shaping's Board and Train program, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each dog's well-being. The training techniques are effective, and I've seen a remarkable improvement in my dog's behavior.

The facilities are clean and spacious, providing a safe and comfortable environment. I appreciate the updates and videos, which showed how much fun my pup was having and the knowledge she was gaining.

Overall, I highly recommend Precision K9 Shaping for anyone looking for quality care and training for their furry friend. It’s clear they are dedicated to helping dogs and their owners thrive!

I am sure you are looking for a trainer or you would not be on this site. This is a long review but please take time to read as we share our experience with Precision K9 Shaping & Training.

First, my husband and I are elderly with multiple health issues. My husband has always had dogs and is very knowledgable in their care, training, etc. I, on the other hand have never had a dog and know absolutely nothing about them. Due to my husband health issues, after much prayer and discussion, we decided to get a dog. Joe wanted a dog for companionship and protection for us in our later years. After much research and his prior experience, he decided on a Doberman. We found our match and the dog he wanted was in Maryland. After purchase and transportation arrangements, we got her at 3 and 1/2 months old in April. What a challenge she was!!

We took her to training and had trainer come to our home several times. Ellie was still difficult at best and due to her size out of control at times. Some of our grown children and friends felt we should look at getting her re-homed. Joe would not hear of this and we both became more and more attached to her.

While looking on the internet for additional training close to our home in Denham Springs, we saw Precision K9 Shaping & Training. Their reviews were all great with not one negative comment. What a blessing this turned out to be!!

We took Ellie for their initial consultation and met Andrew and Gaston. Their facility was top notch and spotless! Everything meets and exceeds anything you would want for your dog training. The cleanliness and fresh smell alone sold me. The military professionalism and knowledge they both have grabbed Joe from the moment we entered.

After discussion, we had Ellie scheduled for training in their three week program starting on Monday, 12/23/24. Due to a medical emergency and my husband being admitted to the hospital, Andrew @ Precision was so kind and helpful and took Ellie several days early on Thursday, 12/20. With Joe in the hospital, the videos sent by Andrew and Gaston were such a peace of mind for us, especially him.

We picked Ellie up on Friday, 1/3/25, and I cannot possibly express the joy and happiness we have. We trained with Gaston a couple of hours before leaving the facility. He reviewed commands and all that they had done while having Ellie. Ellie is not the same dog we took for training. She is calm and understands her commands. The commands along with the e-collar have made such a difference in her life and brought only joy to ours. Gaston has been to our home for the in house training after her stay at their facility. He shared how to "tone" her down to our life style rather than shouting and gearing her up to a Doberman fast pace and high energy level. Ellie is such a totally different dog. She now listens, she sits and stays. We enjoy her to the max!

In addition to our "new, well behaved" dog, the portrait we received as part of the package is the perfect final touch! I have attached the portrait to share the perfection with which it was painted. At first glance, it is difficult to choose the portrait from the picture taken in our back yard.

We do plan to enroll in their group classes which begin in January and go through May. We have family out of state and will plan vacation and visits around Precision's ability to board and care for Ellie. We firmly believe you would be hard pressed to find anyone better or more professional than Andrew, Gaston and their team. We are beyond pleased and happy to highly recommend Precision K9 Shaping and Training to anyone for their dog needs.

I have been with Precision K-9 Shaping and Gaston for over 3 years. My dog Matilda, German Shepherd is a wild one to say the least. If it wasn’t for Gaston and all of his training knowledge Matilda and I would have never have gotten to where we are now.
The training facility is top notch and it is the only place I would bring Matilda for boarding.
Precious K-9 Shaping and Gaston have been a blessing to Matilda and I.
Thank you Gaston!!

Precision K9 Shaping did a phenomenal job training my German Shepherd, Saint. We rescued him (he was abandoned in the woods near our family camp) and he had a lot of bad habits that needed to be curbed. We did 8 sessions with Gaston and it was a night and day improvement. I could not recommend Precision K9 Shaping enough for training or boarding services. Their new facility in Denham Springs is immaculate. The care and attention that your dog will receive is second to none. 5 stars all day!

We cannot say enough great things about Gaston and Precision K9 Shaping! Our dog struggled with aggression, leash manners, and overall obedience, and we were at a loss for how to help him. I was especially nervous about leaving my boy because of his uneasiness with strangers, but Gaston and his team quickly put my mind at ease. The videos they sent during his first week showed him fully engaged with Gaston, responding well, and showing no signs of distress at all. Seeing that transformation so quickly relieved my anxiety and reassured me that he was in the best hands.

Gaston not only worked wonders at the facility but has also gone above and beyond by making house calls to ensure that what our boy learned there translated seamlessly into our home environment. Thanks to his expertise, we can now correct our dog without yelling or using physical force—something we truly appreciate. The transformation has been incredible, and we feel so much more confident in handling our pup.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated trainer, we highly recommend Gaston and Precision K9 Shaping. We are beyond grateful for the whole crew!

There are not enough words to describe just how amazing! Gaston and his team are hands on and they tailor their services to each dog giving the very best results. They offer a lot of great advice and follow up with you even after training ends. Knowing they are just a call away is an added bonus and I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than them for your training needs they are awesome. Our Blue Heeler Ace can be a handful but he is sooooooo much better now

Choosing where to send our 9 month old Cane Corso for training was not an easy decision. We had done a different board and train with our older Corso and knew it was something we wanted to invest in again. We vetted several trainers in the area and out of state before landing on Gaston. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and allowed us to tour his facility before we agreed on the two-week training package for our boy. I was impressed with Gaston’s professional background, dog training philosophy and the brand new, spotless facilities. Though we didn’t have any specific behavioral concerns, we were interested in building our dog’s confidence and ability to self-soothe. After two weeks with Gaston, the difference in our dog was remarkable. In addition to perfecting his sit and stay commands, he came back to us with so much confidence and maturity. I also appreciated the regular video updates on our dog’s progress. Investing in training is costly, but beyond necessary if you have a large, working breed dog. We would recommend Gaston and Precision K9 to anyone looking for professional training to better their relationship with their dog.

I cannot say enough good things about Gaston, Andrew and the rest of the staff. After 2 weeks of training, my 9 month old Pit Bull came home as a different dog. She was calm and confident. Gaston came to my house and walked me through the steps to continue training at home, and Rubi is doing great! I’d like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart!
