Initial meeting with trainer is successful. Looking forward to training!
Professional and the communication is not only logical it is very easy to understand. Thanks for helping me be the handler I need to be!
West Michigan k9 is such a great place to take your dog. They are very committed trainers that know what they do so well! Our dog came back a completely different dog that knew what do because of what she learned while there. Nate is great!!
Did the 4 week training for our Doberman and still drop him off from time to time for boarding. Easy and simple every time and happy worry free every time. Great job 👏 Happy Customer and Hank is a Happy dog too!!
