What the dog parents say
“Having been clients for over twenty years, we have a family of German Shepherds. Our current four of them have been bred, trained, boarded and enjoy daycare there as have all of our German Shepherds. Nino and his entire staff are committed to the health and quality of life for your pet.”
Karen and Doug Irvine
“We have been with K9 Academy International for ten years; we chose them over eight other facilities I had vetted in 2013 when adopting our husky, Sammy. Nino trained our dog to be a therapy dog and he has since gone into schools with the kids, hospitals with me and my husband all these years. Our patients and kids of all age feel safe with Sammy and our own children grew up sleeping, playing with and protected by their canine brother.”

“Our comments come at the end of eight weeks training at K9 International in Grand Rapids Mi. They trained our five month old Newfoundland (Mercy Grace) from knowing little discipline to outstanding obedience. We brought a free spirit puppy and came home with a proud, thoughtful and well trained really cool family pet. Mercy has been home for almost three months and listens to our requests and commands with ease and precision. K9 Academy taught Mercy and owners with professional respect and necessary directness. We are more than pleased and will return with every new dog in our future.”

We’ve been with K9 Academy International since summer 2021 when we brought our mini golden doodle, Hank, for evaluation. He was quite a handful, but with their training program and lots of love, Hank, now three years old, is almost unrecognizable from his early days. Life is more enjoyable when you and your dog speak the same language, thanks to the training we all received at K9 Academy. The team is like miracle workers to us, and they’ve become a trusted extended family for Hank and his brother Trapper. Highly recommend K9 International Academy to anyone who wants their dog to be the best version of themselves. Thank you for everything!
