EXCELLENT Based on 232 reviews Posted on Google matthew goschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole board and train experience was great! Gator, our trainer, was the best! Always positive with us and our Maggie! Always communicates great with us and explains things in a way where we felt confident bringing her home and continuing her training. Toured the kennel before we took her, everything was very clean and I felt good about leaving Maggie there. It was hard being away from her, but we felt very good about the fact that Gator and the entire staff was very attentive with her, she was very well taken care of! We look forward to the group lessons and enrolling her in more specialized classes. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Cari PettyjohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have loved Mountain States for the last 5 years! They have taken such good care of our girl! Thank you so much Mountain States K9 team! We will miss you!????Posted on Google Anne WenaasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were incredibly happy with the excellent job Dylan, our dog trainer, did with our 7 month old yellow lab. Before our dog even attended, Dylan reached out to us to better understand our specific concerns and asked pointed questions to make sure we were on the same page. It was very clear that Mountain States K9 Academy and Dylan genuinely cared about both the dog as well as their owners. After 2 weeks of training, the results exceeded our expectations. Our dog is more obedient and it is a pleasure to go on walks now that she isn’t pulling. Upon picking our up lab after her stay, Dylan took the time and went over all the information with us, and “trained” us on how to continue and reaffirm the lessons she had learned. A great experience and we highly recommend Dylan.Posted on Google Jessica KressinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Mountain State! Our dog, Finn, loves his time there, and they take such good care of him. I always look forward to reading his cute little report cards. They even re-stuffed and sewed up one of his ripped up toys! We are so happy to have found this place - highly recommend!
