Owner and trainer Gerald Famiglietti has had a love and passion for dogs his entire life. After graduating with a bachelors degree in International Relations with an intense interest in security and foreign policy, he shifted his focus to one of the indispensable aspects of the day to day security that we take for granted- the role played by our four legged friends who protect our men and women in uniform and sniff out threats in the form of explosives, firearms, and narcotics. After receiving the dog trainer's certification by Animal Behavior College, he spent additional time learning to train police K9s and personal protection dogs at Tarheel Canine in Sanford, North Carolina.

Services
Obedience and Behavior Modification
Gladio K9 offers practical obedience training for dogs of any age. The old saying, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" no longer applies with respect to professional dog training. Gladio offers private training sessions where your dog's full potential can be revealed and you as the owner are taught how to strengthen and maintain those behaviors. This allows you to establish a leadership role in the eyes of your dog so that you both may enjoy a healthy and balanced human-canine bond.
Day School
In addition to our private, one-on-one sessions, we are now happy to offer day school. Our day school program will encompass all of the curriculum covered in our one-on-one sessions but condensed into two and three week programs where your dog gets dropped off each morning and picked up in the afternoon/evening, giving us an extended period of time to dedicate to your dog daily to mold, hone, and sharpen behaviors. Day school is open to dogs that are 6 months and older. This is essentially a board and train program without the board!
Puppy Preschool
Our Puppy Preschool Program is for puppies 16 weeks to 6 months. This is a one week program (Monday-Friday) where puppies are dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon/evening. In preschool we work on molding basic skills and behaviors and socialization. This is a precursor to our obedience sessions or dayschool.
daycare
We are now happy to be able to provide daycare for our clients. What makes our daycare unique is our approach. Our daycare is structured and controlled, not chaotic. We encourage calmness throughout the day, not rough, uncontrolled play, helping our dogs to learn to control their impulses and learn proper play.
Personal Protection dogs
It takes a very special kind of dog with a well balanced personality, strong nerves, and the will to stand and fight to protect us, our loved ones, and our property, and yet be calm enough to give our kids kisses and lay at our feet while we watch TV. In an increasingly unpredictable and dangerous world, personal protection dogs are becoming more and more popular as a means of home security. Gladio K9 can find you the right dog for your family and lifestyle and give that dog the tools that it needs to be your family's protector should the situation arise.
Private Detection Services
If you fear there may be illicit narcotics present in your home, school, or place of business, Gladio K9 is there to answer the call. Gladio K9 is now proud to offer discreet and 100% confidential narcotics sweeps. Private K9 detection is a noninvasive and efficient way of determining whether or not a loved one may be abusing drugs in the home, keeping schools and work places drug free, and ensuring substance rehabilitation facilities remain clean and safe for all patients. In a time where 130 Americans are dying a day due to the opioid crisis, illicit drugs are pouring in over our southern border, increasingly powerful synthetic drugs such as fentanyl are becoming the norm, and the scourge violence associated with narcotics plagues so many of our cities, why wait until it’s too late? Gladio can service clients when the police cannot. Gladio’s own K9 Pharaoh is a fully certified dual purpose narcotics dog trained on marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. Gladio K9 offers random or scheduled sweeps throughout Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Call today for more info.

Personal Protection Dogs
Rates will vary due to the selection of the proper dog, nature of training, length of time, and skill sets desired. If you already have a dog that is trained in protection work or believe has the drive to do that type of work Gladio offers bite work sessions. Your dog must first be tested to ensure it has the nerve and skills associated with this type of training. Gladio K9 will not put pressure on a dog we do not believe is suited for it. Call or message for rates.
Private Narcotics detection services
Pricing will vary with regards to the size of the search area and frequency of searches performed. Call to set up an appointment.
In recognition of their service, Gladio K9 offers a discount to active duty military, veterans and first responders.
