Mike is incredible! He helped my dog and I tackle some serious fears and anxiety after getting attacked by another dog a few weeks ago. He is very kind, patient, and cares deeply about the wellbeing of both you and your beloved pup! We’re getting our confidence back one step at a time!!
Mike is a miracle worker. Our Lab, Mack, started as a 'Tasmanian devil,' but Mike helped her settle and regulate her behavior in no time. The combination of in-person lessons and overnight stays in the unlimited package worked perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with the results!
We adopted a Rottie from a shelter and enlisted Mike after a few months. We have been working with him for a few months now and we are so thankful for him! Mike evaluated Tank and maked a plan for us to train him. In our experience, that is soooo important. It doesn't help us to…Read full reviewClose full review
We adopted a Rottie from a shelter and enlisted Mike after a few months. We have been working with him for a few months now and we are so thankful for him! Mike evaluated Tank and maked a plan for us to train him. In our experience, that is soooo important. It doesn't help us to have our dog trained and then we cannot replicate the behaviors. Mike trains us to train our dog. Not only that, but knowing we can go on vacation and have Tank spend the time with Mike and his pack reinforcing his training or taking the next step gives us such piece of mind. Mike is great with the dogs and with us and is always available if we have questions. Can't give him enough stars!!!

I adopted a very timid and clearly traumatized 4 year old muttski thinking that love, a comfortable home and a sister dog would eventually help her adjust. I have had shelter dogs all my life, but never like Ella. A trainer, a dog walker and finally an Animal Whisperer suggested Canine Confidence Center as a last resort for Ella. She went to stay with Mike and the amazing pack and finally came out of her shell. From a dog who did not know to be a dog to a happy energetic and even a little mischievous pup! I honestly think Mike was a miracle worker and saved Ella’s life. She has been back a few times since and the videos I get are of a happy, thriving pup having the time of her life! The facilities are amazing with so much for them to do!
