Couldn’t recommend EZK9 enough! Truly a life changing experience for our dogs and family. Garrett and his team are so knowledgeable about what they teach and how they shared that with us. We always left their building feeling prepared.

I am so happy with Sunshine’s progress!! We can walk in the park and no craziness anymore. She stays by my side passing other dogs with No reaction. Thank you so much EZ K-9, the training made an amazing transformation. Garrett and his team are truly the Best.

We sent Garrett a chaotic, high energy nearly 8 month old German Shepherd and could NOT be happier with who we picked up! Garrett’s entire team, from his “mom-ager” Tara, to his training and care staff blew us away. We picked up a happy, healthy, much better mannered pup.

Does Your Dog...

Sound Like Your Dog?

If you nodded at more than one of these, you are exactly who Garrett built EZ-K9 for. The hard cases are the work.

01

Pulls On Leash

Drags you down the sidewalk. Makes a walk feel like a workout you did not sign up for.

02

Reactive On Walks

Loses it at other dogs, joggers, strollers, anything that moves. You cross the street to avoid trouble.

03

Won't Listen Outside

Ignores you the second you step out the door. Pretends not to hear you when there is a squirrel.

04

Hyperactive At Home

Bouncing off walls, mouthing kids, jumping on guests. Cannot settle for ten minutes.

05

Barks At Everything

Window, doorbell, neighbors, nothing. The barking does not stop and the neighbors are noticing.

06

Counter Surfs

Steals food off counters and tables. You cannot leave the kitchen unattended.

07

Separation Anxiety

Loses it the second you leave. Crate destruction, accidents, neighbor complaints.

08

Resource Guards

Growls or snaps over food, toys, or a spot on the couch. A bite waiting to happen.

Meet Garrett

Five Years In Wilmington. Built On The Hard Cases.

Garrett Fredricks was voted Wilmington's Best Dog Trainer 2025, and over a thousand local dogs have come through his program. He built EZ-K9 to handle the dogs other trainers pass on. Reactivity, anxiety, hyperactivity, the cases that make you wonder if anyone can help. He does not believe you should give up. He believes most dogs can be reached.

  • Pulling on leash
  • Reactivity on walks
  • Separation anxiety
  • Resource guarding
  • Won't listen outside
  • Hyperactivity
THE EZ-K9 APPROACH

Custom programs per dog, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Owner education built into every package so the dog you pay for stays the dog you take home. Stay & Train clients get lifetime group classes included.

How It Works

From First Call To First Session.

A simple, no-pressure path. The eval is yours regardless of whether you book a program.

  2. 02

    Report Of Findings

    We tell you what is causing the problem. The real cause, not just the surface behavior. You leave with clarity on what it takes to fix it.

  3. 03

    First Training Session

    We get to work the same visit. You see exactly how to handle your dog from minute one. By the end of the session, you have already started.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Garrett or a trainer on his team meets with you and your dog for at least 30 minutes. We assess behavior and temperament, identify what is driving the problem, and give you a clear path forward. There is no contract, no pressure, and the eval is yours regardless of whether you book a program.
All breeds, all sizes, from puppies through adults. Garrett specializes in the hard cases other trainers turn down, reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding, hyperactivity, but easier dogs are welcome too. We build a custom program around your dog and your home.
It depends on what your dog needs. We go through pricing on the eval so you have an exact number before you commit. The eval itself is free.
Lifetime group classes are included with every Stay & Train program. That keeps the work fresh, gives your dog regular exposure to other dogs in a controlled setting, and means you are not on your own once you go home.
That is exactly why we offer the eval. Anxiety, reactivity, and the dog who just will not listen all feel impossible from the inside. Most of the time they are not. Garrett has spent five years in Wilmington proving it on dogs other trainers gave up on.
