MMK9

I booked an appointment with Amy to groom my labradoodle. She did an excellent and exemplary job with my doodle, capturing every detail I had asked for. Amy and the staff are friendly and desire to please. It is obvious they love dogs. Amy made my dog feel comfort from the moment we walked in the door. When I came to pick up doodle, he seemed very happy and relaxed. I highly recommend MMK9 grooming. The facility it very neat and clean.

I'm thankful to say I know Chris (trainer) through many professional avenues- first as the trainer of one of my coworkers' dogs, and then later as I took care of some of his dogs at my place of work. I was impressed with him based on those experiences initially, so when the time came to choose a trainer for our family dog I didn't hesitate to reach out. Chris and Hannah did a great job at tackling the situation that was named 'Fritz'- a formerly stray Belgian Malinois (if you know you know) that had been hit by a car and picked up by Animal Control and later the Lauber household. Fritz was recovering from injury that left him slightly hard of hearing and with a major head tilt, but he also needed some help overcoming some serious trust issues. To me, the difference between a elementary dog trainer and a great dog trainer is the ability to approach from a comprehensive, holistic stance. It's great that Chris and his team were able to root out his behavioral issues, but it's a step above to have had him also do some PT for the head tilt, some dental maintenance for his teeth and some diet consultation as well. The team at MMK9 is also strongly family focused, and I think that's also evident in their training style. Chris was able to ensure that Fritz would be comfortable and compliant with training not only in our own home (he drove 2 hours to our house in the country) but also in his own home, with his own dogs, children, and wife. Fritz was also introduced to areas such as (but not limited to) dog parks, pastureland, Bass Pro, busier sidewalks and public spaces. He even did a day of training with Fritz and my personal dog, Tuesday, ensuring they knew how to play together in a safe manner. To finish out the already great training experience, we had Fritz groomed. As someone who works in the veterinary field and saw how Fritz came out of the Greene County shelter- I was very impressed with how he had been bathed and de-shedded. When he arrived home, he definitely was snuggle-able like a blanket fresh out of the wash. Chris and Angie- thank you for including Fritz in your family. I couldn't recommend these guys enough.

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 had an amazing experience with Chris and the team at MMK9! I felt I could completely trust them with Cooper, and that trust was rewarded every step of the way. Chris listened to all my concerns and tailored the training to exactly what we needed. Cooper came back a much better-behaved pup—but still his sweet, silly self. Chris made sure he retained his personality, which meant so much to me. He also gave Cooper experiences I couldn’t—like socializing with other dogs, visiting stores, and training out at the creek. The sessions during and after training were incredibly helpful—not just for me, but for my 12-year-old son too. Chris was patient and supportive, helping him and I grow more confident with managing Cooper’s behaviors. Chris is professional, caring, and truly knows his stuff. We are forever grateful. Thank you, Chris and the MMK9 team!

MMK9 has been a life saver. We took our aggressive and fearful 11 month old German Sheppard pup there for 3 weeks to be trained. Chris and Hannah have gone above and beyond in training Sunni to meet our expectations. When it was time to bring her home, Chris brought her to us bathed, groomed, and beautiful. He stayed and continued education on our behalf. Follow-up appts have also been made to make sure we are continuing the top-notch training skills. Couldn't be happier with the results! The facility environment is clean, and the staff is super friendly. They treat your dog like their own. Love the choice we made to use MMK9 for all of our needs! Thank you!! Wilson crew 😊
