If I could give a million stars I would! Mike has helped me build confidence and resilience in my dogs and myself and his guidance has made me so much more capable of helping rescue dogs. His ability to adapt and improvise to each dog and owner's needs is incredible. It is never a one size fits all approach and he always leads with compassion for the dogs. The confidence course and enrichment actvities he has built at his facility are so creative and so fun it's like going to Disney World for Dogs!

Canine Confidence Center gave me all the tools needed as a first time dog owner. Mike is a passionate and supportive trainer, dedicated to his craft. I brought Tucker to Mikey as a puppy and could not have been happier with the results. My puppy learned obedience training while socializing with other dogs. I could not asked for a more positive, and enlightening experience. From the facility to the trainer everything at Canine Confidence Center is top tier. The only thing to worry about is your dog won’t want to leave. 😂

Awesome Trainers!! Michael had an instant connection with my beag-ador, who was a handful when I first got him! I left with some helpful tips and tricks which turned my rambunctious, jumpy Andy into the well-mannered, calm doggy he is today! Can’t thank CCC enough for the confidence 🤙🏼

Staying true to its name, Canine Confidence Center has given my dog confidence to play with dogs of all shapes and sizes, the confidence to get on the slat mill and run his heart out, the confidence to be curious and explore but always listen to recall and check in with us. He’s also learned obedience that has made being a first time dog owner feel easy! Nothing makes you feel better than knowing your dog is learning, while also having the best time with his pals over at CCC.

Mike was an absolute savior with our dog. She is a high energy rescue mix and Mike was able to transform her behavior in no time.
