The trainer was friendly and helped me address my issues with my dog.
If you are looking for transformational training, this is the place. They have changed lives and saved lives with their training and techniques. 1000% the best training company!
Awesome people to deal with, really welcoming and quick response time. They treat your dog like their own which means a lot. Definitely bringing my next dog to them. Thank you for the help and looking after Negan.
West MI k9 has been the best decision for both my 8 year old dog & puppy. Nate has been incredible. The progress both dogs have made with basic obedience, leash manners & door manners is outstanding. He’s taught me how to be more assertive with the dogs, which allows for me to be a better dog owner. I’m looking forward to learning more as we move into the at-home follow up visits.
