About Elite K9 Life

Training and boarding in Billings

Elite K9 Life is a dog training and boarding business in Billings built on the idea that a dog can be "calm, reliable, and still get to be a dog." Its trainer, Michael, is the name clients mention throughout its reviews.

Programs

The lead program is a 2-Week Board & Train in which dogs are trained and socialized, followed by follow-up sessions so owners know how to keep the skills going at home. An e-collar and transmitter are included in the cost for off-leash work, and graduates get lifetime support for questions, tips and refreshers. Reviews also describe private sessions, kenneling and in-home nail trims for fearful dogs. Elite K9 Life lists itself as a member of the AKC and lists credentials in K9 training and kennel management, veterinary tech assistance and pet CPR.

What owners say

One owner wrote that their reactive German shepherd mix came home "extremely good with commands and walking around in public."
