FirstBarkKallee loves Kim’s K9. She loves being out in the yard looking for squirrels in the trees and loves to get spoiled by the staff! We love it because she comes home tired and happy!!

About Kim's K-9
With more than 30 years of business in West Michigan, Kim's K-9 is a fun and friendly center for dog boarding, training and doggie daycare. Founders Kim, expert trainer, and husband Brian Steffes opened the current Center in Kentwood, Michigan in March 1996.

Kim’s K9 provides an excellent and caring training program geared towards your dog’s personality. We continue to bring our dog there for daycare every week. The staff is wonderful and he loves playing with his dog friends!

We’ve been at Kim‘s for a couple of years now and I really cannot imagine life without them. Not only are they like family, but I know we would not have such a good Little puppy had they not helped us so much with training. It also really says something that we have seen the same staff members consistently throughout this time. We love everyone there and we are so grateful for how much they take care of our girl! Tip: Definitely get your dog trained by Sam!
Had a very nice talk with Beck on my dog. She explained everything, on training, and asked a lot of questions about my dog. I know my dog will get the training she needs. Thank you Beck
