NutriSource to open service dog training facility near Twin Cities

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – NutriSource, a Perham, Minnesota based dog food company, is opening a new service dog training facility.

The Spot located in Greenfield, west of the Twin Cities, will support veterans and first responders on their path toward healing with their four legged best friend by their side.

The facility, along with training, will offer daycare, grooming, standard kennels, and luxury kennels suites.

With over 17 years of law enforcement experience, Michael Boehmer will be the new head trainer for The Spot and said he’s excited to have the chance to give back to the community.

Boehmer said: “It’s our way to bring a new service to the community but also give back to the community … We’re not just a business here looking for profit, we’re here because we have a mission in mind and that’s to give back to the communities that give so much to us.” 

The Spot will be hosting an open house in Greenfield, Minn. on November 1st.
