Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

How much is it?

Private lessons are available. Around $80 for an hour. More reasonable than other places we contacted. But Macatawa also offers group classes, with several dogs in room. Listen to trainer then work with your own dog. These rates are much cheaper. We are in group class now. Highly recommended. Thx, Tim.

Question on Google
My name is Judie Schippa and my dogs name is Duke. We took one of your classes last August. Duke has been mouthing me, just me as far as I now. I tell him no and tell him to sit. I don't know what to do. we have little ones visit.

I recommend calling Trainer Erin :)

We love Macatawa Dog Training! Our dog loves going to day care and comes home so happy and exhausted. The grooming is amazing and the training has helped us solve so many things at home like walking politely and doing place. The staff is wonderful and Erin is a wealth of information!

I came to Macatawa Dog Training for help training my deaf puppy. What I received was so much more! Erin personalized our training so that it always worked for my dog. And, She introduced a green light laser for recall and that has been a game changer. Now, in the right settings, Lottie can be off leash to run. Her compassion for animals matches her talents as a trainer.

Erin does a supreme job on nails. She trimmed and dremmeled pups nails so nice they are actually smooth! Will be bringing my other dogs to her also.

Our 4 year old Poochi Angel acted like a terror in public, would not leash walk properly, had aggression issues around people, the list goes on. In just 4 one-one-one classes with Erin, Angel is starting to behave like an angel! With Erin's guidance and training, Angel is more obedient and for the first time in our lives walked in public like a well behaved dog around people and pets! It was incredible. I cannot thank Erin and Macatawa Dog Training enough for all the positive growth our fur baby has had so quickly and highly recommend them!
