We created a system involving a combination of balanced and positive reinforcement-based learning techniques. This makes training exciting and fun for your dog and leads them into wanting to perform well for you. They learn faster this way, which is why we’ve been able to accomplish in a week what other training companies take weeks or even months to teach. Leash manners, basic commands, mouthing, jumping, puppy basics, recall (to come when called), pack structure, reactivity, aggression, and impulse control are a few of the subjects we cover, with a special focus on the behaviors which are important to you. What’s more–and so crucial to our system’s success–we show you the techniques to make these new behaviors stick at home.

How much do it cost
Hi Ta’vearia, my name is Jim. I have two primary services. One is the board and train where your dog would stay with me for seven days and nights for intensive training. That is $750.
The other is private lessons, where you would bring your dog each week for six weeks to have me coach you. Here, you’d take the lessons and then go home and work the exercises each week. These are $500.
Please feel free to text or call me at 989-395-5680 if you have any more questions.

If you want a professional and reliable dog training company, look somewhere else. They missed my scheduled phone consultation, so right out the gate, not a good first impression. Three days later, I got in touch with the owner. I gave him a chance to tell me about their training, so I could decide later if I wanted to proceed or not. There were no substantial details given. In fact, he spent most of the time talking bad about other businesses (he actually got defensive when I said I've heard of other business that do similar training). I ended the phone call pretty quickly. I can only imagine how he is operating the business behind closed doors... Bottom line: trust your gut and do what's best for your pets. There are so many other better options out there!

We have been using Mid-Michigan K9 Academy since May of this year and have been very impressed with the time and attention they put in to make the dogs comfortable and feel at home,. We have used the day care and boarding services and I can say that my husband and I feel like we have peace of mind when we need to go away. They send daily videos of your dog, which is great when you are way. If you are looking for a great facility for your dog, please consider Mid-Michigan K9 Academy, you won't be disappointed!

8/10/2024 Update: still going strong having our tough dog boarded here! They send updates which make me feel comfortable leaving him overnight for boarding, they build trust with my dog and try to reinstate his past training. I will continue to have my dog boarded and trained here until they stop letting me!!
8/16/2023 Update: We've boarded our dog twice since his initial week long bootcamp session and have had only positive experiences here! It's great to see and have his training refreshed and continued. We will always use this place to board our dog. It is clean, staff are super friendly, and we trust this place!
2022 Update: We brought our hound mix to mid Michigan k9 for the 7day boot camp and he came out amazing! He was able to be crate trained, and they gave us some tools to continue his training when we took him home.

Our ODIN (1 year old Australian shepherd) was with K9 Academy 13 days. We enjoyed the videos of him while we were on vacation. He looked like he was having fun & learning how to behave properly. He was out of control sometimes before... jumping, barking & (playful) biting. He is a NEW dog and very obedient now. The staff seemed to sincerely LIKE the dogs and were patient with them. Thanks SO much!!
