FirstBarkI can’t recommend Kim’s K9 enough! I have a high energy French Bulldog and started bringing her here so she could play with other dogs. It has been so amazing! The staff cares so much about all the pups. From the free first visit to the weekly report cards, I have nothing but positive things to say. Frankie has made friends and is tired for a good 3 days after playing, lol! Thank you, Kim’s K9!!!

Very thorough evaluation
Kim's K-9's puppy kindergarten has been invaluable for us!! The kind, super knowledgeable staff has already taught us so much about our miniature schnauzer puppy, and they've trained us well too. We can't wait to continue working and learning with them as our pup grows older!
You have proved to us the competency of the staff as well as the environment pertaining to our loved one. We are happy to be a part of this prominent and perpetual assignment Kim has brought all of you to become. Spot on team. Our thank you is not enough. Griffen says Hi hi hi hi 🐕
Murphy stayed for a week and did very well there for his first time! We were very happy with the experience and will definitely be using Kim’s again !
