We had a meet and greet. It was very nice. And we (Freddy and me) made a reservation for a sleepover for Freddy. We also made an appointment to have Freddy assessed for higher training. Once Freddy is neutered we’ll make arrangements for day care and play with the other dogs.Freddy will love that.

I took my beagle mix to day care for the first time today and I am very pleased. I’m a very type A dog mom who is very over protective but I feel very safe leaving my fur baby here. The staff was wonderful during every single interaction with communication skills both in person and electronically. I see why they have such great reviews.

We took our 15 week old Great Dane, Argo, to Puppy Kindergarten and we are so glad that we did! Argo was a bit timid at first but soon warmed up and became "one of the group". Kim was our trainer with 2 young ladies helping out. The class was so informative & fun. Kim has a great way to describe puppy thoughts! We learned alot just in our first class...we will be forever grateful fir this class & these trainers. Thank you Kim's K9!
I have been taking Ellie to Kim's K-9 for two years. They work with her, they report back on her behavior and they are flexible and willing to work with my schedule. As a single dog mom, who works out of town, I'm thankful for the crew at Kim's.
Our dog loves her time at Kim's K9!
