Reviews are extremely important for small businesses like us here at PridePup K9. Sadly when we had to rebrand most of our reviews stayed with the old name as we had to start from the ground back up. If you have worked with us in the past we would be incredible honored if you could take a few mins and leave a review about your experience either on our page or through google. We have loved working with each family and look forward to helping many many more families have pups they can be proud of!

Hey everyone! As you know we have been working on rebranding. Facebook won't let us rename this page. We have been forced to make a new page. Please like, follow and share our new page PridePup K9 LLC. We would also greatly appreciate it if you could leave a review on our new page about your experience with us!

Wrigley checked if a few days ago with his brother Spencer. Wrigley doesn’t like to be touched by strangers/vet staff and has some sensitivity around his neck and getting his leash on/off.

Spencer has been practicing free shaping on the place board.

Attention past, present and future clients!!!

A few days ago it was brought to our attention that our name Phantom K-9 LLC has been trade marked by another company. Due to this we have been required to rebrand our company. Moving forward we will now be doing business as PridePup K9. This change will not affect any past or present training programs. We truly are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause our clients.

Starting today please reach out either call/text at (616) 312-6749 or at our new email [email protected]
We look forward to working with you and your pups!

This is 100% true! So worth the read if you are thinking of doing a board and train program!

A very common question I get from owners when a dog is here for Board & Train: “well what happens when…”

Nothing. Nothing happens when… because I don’t set the dog up to fail like that.

I train and prepare a dog. Baby steps. LEASH ON. We trainers, we use a leash a lot, and for a very long time, for a reason.

A leash is a communication tool, not simply a restraint tool.

I am not going to see what your dog does without a leash until they know what to do WITH a leash.

I am not going to see what your dog does when someone knocks until I see that they know how to act when someone doesn’t and just walks in.

I am not going to see your dog’s reaction to situation B, until I know they can respond appropriately to situation A.

When trainers do things in small steps and with leashes on, it’s because we are TEACHING. We aren’t running around, throwing dogs into situations that could be scary or stressful, hoping for the best and crossing our fingers which are subsequently sitting on an ecollar button.

How would you feel if you went to school, were told to do a geometry problem when all you know is basic math, then socked in the face when you get it wrong?

The LEASH is the ultimate teaching tool. It’s how we teach the geometry to the student who only knows basic math. It’s how we communicate.

If your dog can’t do it ON a leash, your dog can’t do it OFF a leash.

Put the leash on the dog.

Gunner got to assist with our basic obedience group class Sunday night.

I have an amazing family who has made the very difficult decision that their beloved pup might not be best for their family. Maverick is an awesome boy who has done a 4 week board and train program with us. We are included mavericks last 2 private lessons to his new family to help continue his training. This is what his family has to say about him.

We are looking to re-home Maverick because he needs more attention, stimulation and exercise than our family is able to provide him. He is an extremely intelligent dog that needs consistency with his training. He has gone through a 4 week board and train and did very well. He needs a home with older children due to his energetic play. He would do best with a safe outdoor space because he loves to be outside. He is currently trained with an underground fence. We aren’t looking for anything in return, other than a good family and would provide the accessories (kennel, collars, leashes) we have for him. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. There are no health concerns.

Thanks again.
