FirstBarkWe had a great experience with Control is Key and our dog trainer Mike! He helped our reactive, anxious dog build obedience and confidence in social situations, while also teaching us how to better understand her behavior and respond appropriately. Would recommend!

I couldn’t recommend control is key enough. My first time owning a puppy, who ends up being a a high energy breed unknowingly. My dog now has an amazing temper and I can take him everywhere thanks to the expertise and knowledge I was exposed to.

Mike was amazing to work with! He helped our dog Izzie not only improve her obedience but also build confidence in different environments. One of the biggest changes we’ve seen is her leash walking—no more constant pulling, which has made walks so much more enjoyable. Mike is patient, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to tailor training to your dog. We’re so grateful for the progress Izzie has made and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great trainer!

We used Control is Key with trainer Mike Kohler for our lab Gunner. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike and Control Is Key for anyone looking to train their pet. Mike Is very knowledgeable and does an AMAZING job with the dogs and the owners! . We have recommended him to several people and family members. I am glad that we chose Control is Key and that we were paired with Mike to help us navigate training Gunner. It was very helpful and enlightening to see what a difference this made in Gunner’s behavior. I can’t thank you enough! We 100% would recommend Mike and Control is Key to everyone we know! - Michelle Fisher

I have nothing but love to give to this business I have been working with Mike to train my dog bear and Mike has nothing but bears best interest in mind his professionalism and knowledge has brought bear and I quite a ways from where we started this has by far been the best and most effective training service I have used and I certainly see a difference in bear every single day I’m not sure where bear and I would do without Mike showing us every step along the way
