Dog training, canine behaviour, protection K9, grooming, a dog motel, and rehoming and rescue across Nairobi and Kiambu. Everything dogs: calm, reliable dogs and owners who know how to handle them.
What we do
One team for everything your dog needs, from the first puppy lesson to a fully trained protection dog. Every programme starts with an honest assessment of your dog.
Puppy, obedience, behavioural and protection training for every breed, built around your home and goals.
Controlled protection built on rock-solid obedience, for suitable dogs and committed owners.
A simple routine for toilet training, sleeping, feeding and quiet time that works with Kenyan homes and compounds.
Recall, loose-lead walking, stay and calm manners that hold outside the gate.
Canine behaviourist help for aggression, reactivity, fear and anxiety, plus rehabilitation.
Bath, de-shedding, nails, ears and tick checks, with calm handling.
Rescue, rehabilitation, careful matching and responsible breeding.
Boarding at the G.A.P dog motel, plus dog walking and pet sitting.
G.A.P · God Answers Prayers
A dog’s loyalty is a gift. Our job is to turn it into something you can rely on: a dog that is calm with your family, respectful at the gate, and ready when it matters. That is what we have spent 8 years doing.
Our storyHow it works
We meet your dog, watch how it behaves and listen to what you need. Temperament, health, breed and home all shape the plan.
Structured sessions build skills step by step, with clear communication and fair, consistent handling.
You learn the commands and the handling, and practise until the dog responds to you, not just to the trainer.
We check in, fine-tune and help you keep the results as your dog grows and life changes.

K9 spotlight
The most important word a protection dog knows is “out”. We build guard and protection skills on top of solid obedience, so your dog is a deterrent to threats and safe with your family.
Rehoming & rescue
Relocating, travelling or out of options? We assess the dog honestly, rehabilitate rescues that need it, check the new home and follow up after the handover. Thinking of adopting, or looking for a well-bred puppy? Tell us what you are looking for.
Grooming & hygiene
Baths, de-shedding for double coats, nails, ears and a hands-on tick, skin and hygiene check. Because we are trainers too, nervous and big dogs are handled with patience.
Where we work
From Karen to Kiambu Road, Westlands to Ruiru. Tell us where you are and we will find the best way to work with your dog.
