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!

We are fosters with a local rescue. We adopted Harrison last year after fostering him for 2 years. He was rescued as a stray and although he was obviously well cared for, he was fear reactive to people. He went to the Pups for Prison program and did well there. He was not able to get over his fear of strangers though.
We were unable to have people over to our house and I was always tense when letting him out in our yard. I was familiar with Chris from another facility and contacted MMK9 to get an assessment if they could help.
Harrison did a month long board and train and the results are amazing. Harrison has been able to meet several people without incident and has become much more comfortable and confident. He gets excited for training time and actually wants his training collar. Chris has been excellent with communication and advice and even helped address an issue with one of our other personals. Chris keeps us accountable as well as encourages us on this journey. He is honest with his assessments and feedback and does not leave you feeling alone or like a failure.
I have been fortunate enough to have met several high quality professional trainers, and Chris with MMK9 is hands-down one of the best!

Mikey Miller at MMK9 takes so much pride in being the best dog trainer he could be. He cares about the dogs and customers as more than just a number or a paycheck. He sincerely cares about making the dog the best it can be for the home or owners it is going to. Recommend him Everytime!!!
