What Reviews Say
229 reviews analyzedGrassroots K9 is highly regarded as a premier facility for high-level working dog and protection training, receiving exceptional praise from police units and professional decoys. While the vast majority of pet owners report transformative results for reactive dogs, the facility has faced two significant negative incidents involving a dog's death and poor physical condition upon return. Management is extremely active in responding to feedback, maintaining a professional and defensive stance regarding their safety protocols and communication channels.
