Took our puppy for obedience training and staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable.
Very dedicated to your dog . Very informative and knowledgeable of the training process.
Dawson has been our trainer for our Saint Bernard /Poodle and he has been awesome to work with! He is fun, engaging, super helpful, and he always answers all questions. Couldn’t be happier.
We definitely missed our Hazel when she was at training. I was so happy to get the weekly progress reports on her. When we picked her up I was so happy to see the positive changes in her. Nick went over what we needed to do with her to continue her progress. I definitely would recommend West Michigan K-9. The best thing I did for her and us.
