MMK9

I came to MMK9 pretty desperate. I have a 2-year-old, 110lb American Bulldog mix named Dez (my first dog ever) and the last couple of years had been genuinely overwhelming. Multiple moves, major life changes, and a dog with more energy, muscles, and impulse control problems than I knew how to handle. I consulted with four different trainers before MMK9 and just didn't feel right about any of them. But I was referred to MMK9 and what was supposed to be a 30-minute consultation turned into 2.5 hours. Chris immediately connected with Dez and saw him as Dez, not another dog to put through a program. He understood what I was dealing with (partially because Dez peed on the treadmill within 5 seconds), took my concerns seriously, and made me feel like Dez was in genuinely good hands. It was hard to drop him off for a whole month, but I saw real progress every week I visited. And when they brought him home, his eyes were genuinely brighter, he was more engaged, more responsive. And they trained me a lot too, including real-world training sessions (shout-out Hannah!) I came in just trying to survive the day with him. I left actually understanding him; his communication, his needs, what he's really capable of. The best money I've ever spent. If you're on the fence, go meet Chris and team!

We are so thankful for Chris, Hannah and the rest of the team at MMK9! They have helped so much with our anxious and quirky pup's long list of behaviors. During our dog's training program, they provided frequent updates about her progress and accomplishments. They genuinely listened to our concern areas and made sure to incorporate those experiences directly into her training. Not only did they train our dog, but they also trained us. We now feel so much more confident in our ability to be the owners that our dog needs us to be. The follow-up training sessions with Chris have been so helpful for applying everything she learned during training into our day-to-day lives. We couldn't be happier with the progress we've seen so far - thank you, MMK9 team!
