Gungho Dog Training was officially started by owner Cody Axthelm in the fall of 2018, though his family has been breeding AKC purebred Labrador Retrievers in Ellensburg since 1985, with a focus on good temperament and health. Cody spent multiple years learning and growing as a trainer before launching the business, training under other professional trainers and working with over 1,000 board-and-train clients of his own since founding Gungho Dogs LLC. He is a Certified Dog Trainer through the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and has trained his own dogs to high levels of obedience and hunting. The training philosophy centers on reliable obedience as the path to greater freedom and trust for dogs living with their families.

The business is located on Cowboy Lane, just off East Vantage Highway. Paul Rogers Wildlife Park is about 0.4 miles away, and the Town Canal runs roughly 0.4 miles from the property.

With its 5.00 rating and the experience behind its programs, Gungho Dog Training offers Ellensburg dog owners a certified, locally rooted approach to building obedient, well-adjusted family companions.
