FirstBarkSo nice to receive in-home training for our new puppy. Michael provided our dog and us the tools to be successful. Now it is up to us to be consistent.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
(cont'd) ... But now he pees at random, wherever he wants. It's gotten really bad. He's in a kennel & we crate-trained him, but he pees as soon as he sees us now. Can we get training for that AND for his Barking??
Yes

We adopted a 9 month old Border Collie/Lab mix from the CVHS. For the first month we struggled with this dog, he was out of control and very bitey. I called Michael one morning in tears, “My dog is out of control, I think I have to take him back to CVHS”. He offered to be at my house in 90 minutes to evaluate him. He arrived and made an instant connection with Chip. We determined Chip wasn’t aggressive he just had LOTS of energy. Michael showed us how to work on impulse control which made a huge difference! We had Michael come back 4 more times, each time we learned more ways to better control Chip. Michael helped Chip keep his forever home!
Michael is great at helping you with your dog troubles. He is very knowledgeable and will do training at your house which is better for your pup
Mike is the best in the business! Not only is he a great dog trainer , he develops a great relationship with your dog! I highly recommend A better dog for you!
Mike is a great trainer and truly cares for your dog! He helped train our puppy on basic obedience and also helped us learn to train her as well. He is very patient and kind. Our dog responded to him very well! Highly recommend.
