We would recommend WMk9 to everyone. 5 years ago we did the two week Stay and train for GSD Gus. He was stubborn enough he needed an extra week but his training was excellent. In the last five years we have had our trainer Nick out to the house a couple of times for some updated training, mostly for my wife and I. This past week we went on vacation and left Gus again for a week of Stay and Train to help with his reactivity with people and other dogs. He did wonderful, and now it’s up to us to follow through and do our part. I would also highly recommend Nick as a trainer. He is very knowledgeable, and great with our boy Gus. Thank you WMk9!!
So beyond happy with how our private lessons went with West Michigan K9!! We were super lost with the next steps our dog needed and they were able to answer all of my questions (silly or not)! Now that we are done with our lessons and have put in our work at home (that will be continued) I’m so excited to see how far our pup has come and for all the adventures will be able to have him on now!! We couldn’t have gotten this far without the amazing team at WMK9! They will definitely be my first choice for any future dogs as well!! THANK YOU WMK9!!
Absolutely love and recommend West Michigan K9. We did the 4 week stay and train with our dog Sisu that we adopted. The whole process was so nice and stress free for us. We received report cards and videos to update us on her progress, and to also teach is what she was learning which was GREAT. The follow up visits were amazing to work on things and answer questions after her stay and train. Nate was FANTASTIC to work with and created a bond with our dog that was so nice to see. We were feeling pretty hopeless before West Michigan K9, but now we go out hiking with our dog every day and we have the tools and training to make it great for us all ❤️🐶🙏
