  Our Chase was a stray for months at best and some say more than a year. He showed aggression when he was finally trapped, so Brittany, who helped me trap Chase, recommended Chris at M&M K9. Chase was boarded for two months while I tried to find a home for him. M&M wasn’t paid to train, Chase was a board and evaluate client. When I finally made the decision to bring him home, I saw a completely different dog. Chase is the biggest goofball you can ever imagine! He’s a happy treat and toy motivated bestie. He’s become the best kind of Velcro dog. I credit his changes to M&M for showing him that some humans can be trusted and that he is deserving of love. He would likely have been euthanized if he had gone to a shelter first. I am so grateful to Chris and the women who worked with Chase! We do plan to return Chase for a little “fine tuning,” but the outdoor rescue dog I brought home a month ago became our new indoor forever dog, and first foster fail, overnight due to M&M and the care they put into every dog they have.

  My dog Nala has been coming to this location for over 10 years for grooming. I just can't express enough how grateful I am for Amy, Rhonda, (hopefully spelled correctly) and the staff at Mmk9. Knowing that I can leave my older dog somewhere for multiple hours that I can trust means the world to me. She has many bumps and lumps and does not make it easy for grooming. They have always been so kind and respectful. I would recommend them to anyone who's looking for someone to take good care of their dog, love them like their own, and your dog comes home looking phenomenal!🩷

  Mars recently completed a 3-week board and train with Chris at MMk9, and the change is amazing. He’s still the same fun-loving dog we love, but so much calmer all the time. He’s been coming to play care here since he was a pup and always lights up when I drop him off with Jessie and Cody. During the board and train he stayed at trainers Chris and Hannah’s homes at night, which made me feel so much better about him being away from us. Before this he was a very out-of-control 7-month-old Doberman—reactive on walks, jumping, pulling, ignoring commands, and basically deciding for himself what to do. I sent Chris a long list of issues (and still left some out because there were so many). Chris figured most of them out within days and even teased me about the ones I hadn’t mentioned. He truly cares about Mars and about us—he even noticed Mars’s nose looked irritated and carefully cleaned it out himself. Chris already scheduled a follow-up meeting with Josh and me for a week after Mars came home so we can learn how to keep the progress going and make sure he doesn’t slip back into his old ways. I was worried his reactive brain would only get worse without a proper reset. Chris and the whole team gave him exactly that. We’re so grateful. Highly recommend MMk9!

  I want to give a huge thank you to Chris, Hannah and the entire MMK9 team. My two boys got into a serious fight and one was severely hurt. I was very overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. I reached out explaining what’s going on and was able to set up an evaluation quickly. Chris spent so much time answering my questions and setting up a plan to work with each of my boys. One of my boys had a serious neck injury and they were able to work around that safety while still training. They cared for the boys like they were family. Every time I visited I was impressed with the progress they were making and grateful for all the time taken to teach me as well. My boys are both home now but I know I still have their support for anything that comes up. I cannot say enough good things about the MMK9 team!!

  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.
