FirstBarkI took my 6 month Corgi to the 2 week Stay and Train and am very pleased with the results! Nate did a fantastic job and explained everything clearly and thoroughly so we have all the tools needed to continue training at home.

Our 5 month old Bernedoodle pup just completed the 1 week Stay & Train program a few days ago and we are SO happy with the results. Our trainer laid the foundation for obedience with our dog and gave us a language to work with him going forward. He’s still a sassy puppy and has his wild moments, but we now know how to redirect him, encourage good manners, and basic obedience- including walking on a leash! It was definitely worth the cost of the program to start out with a healthy framework for a happy and peaceful relationship with our dog. Thank you West Michigan K9!
We wouldn't consider taking our girl anywhere else. WMK9 does an excellent job of caring for her and she's always excited to see them!

West Michigan K9 did a great job locating and training a well balanced female Belgian Malinois for me. The staff is a wonderful group of people. I wish to commend Dawson for working patiently to train me as her Handler/Owner. I was impressed with how personable and kind Dawson is when interacting with people in public and working to engage them in the socialization of my dog. I am thankful that West Michigan K9 does followup and is there to support me when I have questions and help me when I screw up 😉 Jamie has provided fantastic customer service and has always been quick to respond to my emails. It is up to me to keep up and build on our training. I believe much of the battle is for the Handler/Owner to be a good pack leader.
Wow you guyz are the best ...
