MickSparkins Pet Care LLC

MickSparkins Pet Care LLC is a Huntington, West Virginia-based dog training company owned and operated by Candice Watts, who has spent her life caring for animals and training under multiple recognized dog trainers, including Miracle K9 Training, Marc Goldberg, and The Monks of New Skete. The business focuses on building strong, trusting relationships between dogs and their families through structured, ongoing education rather than one-time fixes.

Training Programs

MickSparkins offers a range of services designed to meet dogs and owners wherever they are in their training journey:

• Board and Train bootcamp, where dogs stay on-site for 3 to 5 weeks to learn and proof new skills
• Puppy Group Classes for dogs 5 months and younger
• Beginner and Adult Group Classes for dogs of all ages
• E-Collar Group Classes focused on off-leash reliability
• Private Sessions, the most popular program, held weekly in hour-long meetings until goals are met

Owners of Board and Train dogs are invited to join private sessions and group classes during the program to help skills transfer smoothly back home.

Commitment to Ongoing Learning

Candice continues to pursue continuing education, shadow programs, and seminars to stay current on best practices in dog training and care. The team treats every dog as family, aiming to create a fun, loving environment while helping dogs become well-mannered companions. Free consultations are available for anyone interested in learning more about their programs, and a new online customer portal makes managing appointments simple. Note that potty training is not offered, as the team believes this is best handled directly by owners through consistent monitoring at home.
