We really thought we would have a hard time training him but like a miracle Margaret had him listening and doing things that just amazed us the very first class. **Rick Johnson** Chocolate Lab Dad Margaret is an excellent trainer and person. Sawyer was so hyper it was to the point that it was hard to enjoy having him. Not only does she train the dogs but she helps you understand life from their perspective. **Brenlie Johson** Sawyer's Mom Margaret listened to my concerns of wanting Elmo trained. In a week's time she had him walking on a loose leash and learning his place. She also taught him door manners and learned to come when called. **Larry Nicols** Elmo's Dad Purpose Driven K9, owner Margaret and her staff, are exceptional trainers/dog handlers.  They emphasized that training a dog’s owner was as important and necessary as training the dog.  **Herb** Dad of Murphy and Max We have a Chocolate Lab that is as hyper as a chihuahua! We really thought we would have a hard time training him but like a miracle Margaret had him listening and doing things that just amazed us the very first class. **Rick Johnson** Chocolate Lab Dad Kolby came back from training school with a whole new dog. I am beyond impressed with his progress and how much he learned last week. There are already so many major changes in his behavior. I have nothing but good things to say!! 10/10 recommend! **Savannah Sloan** Kolby's Mom Our mini golden doodle would use to bark at everything and be a handful while walking on a leash. We now receive compliments on how well behaved he is while out in the public. He is so much better in the home as well. **Adam Sanford** Mini Golden Doodle Dad [READ MORE REVIEWS](https://g.co/kgs/YkdacXQ) #### A Purposeful View [![Purpose Driven K-9, Indianapolis](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-1.png?height=275&name=PurposeDrivenK-9-View-1.png)](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-1.png?hsLang=en) [![Purpose Driven K-9, Indianapolis](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-2.png?height=275&name=PurposeDrivenK-9-View-2.png)](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-2.png?hsLang=en) [![Purpose Driven K-9, Indianapolis](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-3.png?height=275&name=PurposeDrivenK-9-View-3.png)](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-3.png?hsLang=en) [![Purpose Driven K-9, Indianapolis](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-4.png?height=275&name=PurposeDrivenK-9-View-4.png)](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hubfs/PurposeDrivenK-9-View-4.png?hsLang=en) ## Certified [![Heathers Heroes ](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Heathers%20Heroes-1.png?width=250&name=Heathers%20Heroes-1.png)](https://www.heathersheroes.com/) [![International Association of Canine Professionals](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IACP-1.png?width=250&name=IACP-1.png)](https://iacpdogs.org/) [![National K9 Learning Center](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NK9-1.png?width=250&name=NK9-1.png)](https://nk9.com/) ### ![Good-Sniffs-Website-Logo-SM](https://purposedrivenk9.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Good-Sniffs-Website-Logo-SM.png?width=175&height=109&name=Good-Sniffs-Website-Logo-SM.png) ### Education for Canine Professionals ###### Trainers .
