FirstBarkIf you have a puppy, you MUST have Michael out to help you get things off on the right paw! Michael has been working with us since our puppy was just 8 weeks old and I cannot imagine the problems we'd be having if we didn't start so early to set the foundation. Michael is gracious, kind and patient. He is very serious and devoted to his profession, you could not hire a better trainer.

Michael is extremely competent and patient. I had no idea that there was any hope for my husky to stop running away. Who knew I would be able to walk him off leash?! He's so much happier now and so am I.
Michael completely helped our male husky mix behave! We worked on all of the techniques Michael gave us and our dog completely turned around! He looks to us all of the time for permission and is very well behaved! We are thrilled! Any time we had questions, he was receptive and gave us other things to work on to help. Great trainer!
Our family adopted a 5 year old Basset mix who continued to run away. We were desperate and needed help. Michael worked MIRACLES on Bubba and after a few sessions we were able to walk him off leash. We are so thankful to Michael, we highly recommend his services!

Michael is simply AMAZING! We have a 2 year old rescue dog (George) that had problems pulling while walking, chasing after rabbits, wanting to show his dominance towards bigger dogs and being somewhat aggressive towards our other smaller, older dog. Michael came into our lives and literally made everything so much better. After just 15 minutes or so, Michael had George walking by his side. It was a miracle and something awesome to see! After just 2 lessons, we were able to reestablish our roles, walk George on a heel command, have him come, sit, stay and we learned how to make easy corrections to his less than desirable behaviors. We even had two neighbors complement us on our well-disciplined dog. I was so proud and felt pretty cool walking such a huge dog with peace and calm. Michael is a very skillful man that makes dog training interesting and fun. We have learned so much in such a short amount of time, and he is willing to come to your house or meet you where you are having difficulties with your dog. Michael really cares about dogs and their human companions and will give great attention to your dog training needs. He is willing to go the extra mile to assure that you are training your dog properly and that everyone is having fun. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with him. You will NOT be disappointed.
