    We were looking to proactively train our 4 month old golden retriever puppy before she became too wild because we live on some unfenced land with two little kids. We are so glad we found Chris at MMK9. In 3 weeks of day training with some 1:1 sessions he taught us how to communicate with our puppy and even though she’s still young we have the tools now to handle anything that might come up later as she matures. Highly recommend!!

    We absolutely loved working with MMK9 with Chris and Hannah and Jesse and the whole team! They were so helpful and answered all our questions. Very kind, thorough, and worked with us throughout. Chris and Hannah are very good at teaching us. Our dog absolutely loved her time there! We look forward to continuing to learn and help our dog. I am so happy we found them! 10/10 recommend

    Chris is an absolute game-changer for any pup parent. His expertise and passion shine through in his work, and his background in training military and service dogs speaks volumes about his skills. He worked wonders with my rambunctious six-month-old puppy, Louie, who is now an angel. In just a few weeks, Louie went from being a handful to being off-leash trained, displaying impeccable manners, and no longer barking or biting hands. Chris's dedication and knowledge truly make him stand out as a top-notch dog trainer. We are so thankful!

    MMK9 are dedicated to the dogs, but also to the owners. They expertly helped us through service dog training, resulting in a full access dog and a much more confident, more independent handler. The trainers of MMK9 deserve five stars. One day while my special needs daughter (handler) was struggling, Lead Trainer Chris said, "No worries. I'll be your dog trainer for life. You can always come back for help or to ask questions" This personal care, both at in-home and board-and-train sessions, has made all the difference.
