Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

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 :)

Erin is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and has helped us with puppy training and more recently with re-training us on commands and consistency with adding a grandson to the family. We are grateful for her help! Thank you!
Erin is an amazing trainer and the whole staff is great! The training and daycare services have made a huge difference for my 5 month old puppy.
Erin was so patient and informative! I received great tips and advice and left with the confidence needed to train my puppy. I would recommend Macatawa Dog Training to anyone needing services. I can't wait to join the puppy socializing days!!!

My pup got extremely ill from a kennel cough lung infection I messaged to inform owner we had a possible contagious illness. Never heard back one word nor were other dog parents informed. Never did I even hint he got infected there just he got sick, wasn’t blaming anyone just wanted to protect other puppies. After 3000 dollars in icu pet hospital he came home on antibiotics for another 3 weeks. I again sent a message to owner informing them what our come would be and we couldn’t start a class we had signed up for and again ignored! Then they called and said I owed money for class we canceled…. Are you kidding me. Money driven is not a good quality. They require no shot records on file, never even asked if my pup had his shots it’s not a safe way to do business. She might be a wonderful trainer but very poor business
