Michael helped us out during the pandemic when our dog became reactive to vets, and gave us the techniques we needed to get our dog medical care. We recently contacted him again as we sought advice about end-of-life decisions for our aging pup, and he was incredibly thoughtful, generous, and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

Google listingI needed help after my dog was attacked by another dog. Dog Guy was recommended to me by my Veterinary Clinic . He was professional, understanding and knowledgeable. He also had great suggestions on how to handle different situations with positive and kind reinforcement . I highly recommend him!
Michael is very knowledgeable and really understands animal behaviour. He gave us valuable insight and guidance when we introduced our new boisterous kitten into a home with a skittish adult cat. We couldn't be more pleased!
Really knowledgeable, kind, and so caring to all dogs. My fiancé and I learned so so much about how to help our dog that we adopted with a lot of anxiety and fear. We cannot thank the dog guy enough for all his patience, tips, and help he has given us! We look forward to our training lessons!
The Dog Guy, AKA Michael, is an awesome trainer. He really understands dogs and their behavior. I highly recommend him!
