I met Michael because I needed help training my large rescued male, River. Michael instantly impressed me with his ease to work with my difficult boy. Now 2yrs later, Michael is the only person I trust to watch my dogs, especially Muse and River. He has taught me so much and my dogs really love him. When they visit Michael, they come back brushed and nails trimmed. My dogs are a huge part of my life so I am picky about who cares for them if I can't. Michael is always my only choice for them.

Benji is a rescue from Honduras. Michael brought him to the US after working with a rescue team there. Before adopting Benji Michael worked with him to make sure he would have the best life after finding his forever home. He spent time with us making sure we knew how to keep Benji on the right track with all the training he’d been given. Benji has adjusted into his new life feeling secure and confident. Michael doesn’t just train dogs, he loves them and sets them up for a happy life!

Michael is the absolute BEST! He clearly has a talent with dogs and cares very much about them. We sent TWO giant breed puppies to him for board and train. With 2 giant puppies and two toddlers in our house, (yes, we know we’re idiots) he saved our sanity! We get compliments all the time now about how well behaved our, now, 7 month old puppies are. And if we ever have an issue arise through their growth, Michael is very fast to respond and help us out. He is truly dedicated to the dogs he trains. He even helped eliminate a bad behavior we had with our 12 year old dog. Thanks to Enlightened K9 Perspective, we learned that old dogs CAN learn new tricks. We recommend him for any dog owners at ANY stage of life, 110%.

I know I left a review several months ago, but this man deserves all of the 5 star ratings. He has gone out of his way to help my two shepherds, and guiding me. I’ve gotten both shepherds trained with Michael & I will say that it has done absolute wonders, if I could give 10 stars I would. I never thought I would be able to have both of my dogs out together in one space without nervousness and aggression. Michael truly cares about the well-being of dogs and making sure they are well trained. I can never thank him enough for his help! You’re awesome!
