Adult Dog & Puppy training, Board and Train Program & dog boarding A well trained dog is a Joyful Dog! Joyful Dogs of Michigan has been in business since 1976. We are NOT a franchise. We are a family owned business. We are mid-Michigan's most experienced trainers. We use proven methods to train your dog humanely and effectively. Our training is fair, consistent, and, most importantly, fun for your dog! If you need to go out of town you want your dog to stay with a family, not in a kennel. We treat your dog just like our own. Your fur baby will be snuggled and played with and enjoy walks in the park.
