About Sparks K9 Services

What they offer

Sparks K9 Services has trained dogs in Monroe and the surrounding area since 2006. It offers private coaching for owners working through behavior problems, board and train programs for obedience, behavior modification and rehabilitation, a day school for busy owners, and group classes that include a puppy socialization class, a beginner novice class and a novice obedience class.
