I cant say enough about Mike and Tanya! We completed STAR Puppy and then AKC CGC. The classes were fun and a wonderful learning experience for both of us. Mike provided personalized advice and tips to help Ruthie succeed in each class. We can't wait to see what comes next!

We started our training with Mike in one of the puppy classes when my Chocolate Lab was 4 months old. The puppy class was 6 weeks and well worth the money. Not only did I see progress with my dog in the 6 weeks but all the other dogs in class as well. Mike really took the time to get to know each of us and our pups. He would even stay after class when I had questions or to help teach me little things like clipping nails. I had another trainer and program set up for my dog to attend at 6 months of age but after working with Mike we decided to stay with him. Since puppy class we have had private lessons and are signed up for more classes with him. My lab is now almost 7 months and we get compliments all the time on how well behaved he is for his age. We couldn’t have done it without Mike. I look forward to continuing our training with Mike and really see what my Lab can do!
Mike helped me work with my 2 German Shepherds who weren’t getting along. He taught me that my younger dog didn’t see me as a leader and was exhibiting a lot of fear-based behaviors. My dogs have come so far! They’ve learned how I want them to behave in public and get along better now. Best of all, my dogs were so happy to see Mike each week, and he seemed to really like them, too!

I contacted Mike to help me with my one year old Yorkshire Terrier. I was having difficulty with her pulling on walks and some general behaviors that needed to be corrected. Mike was at my house in less than 48 hours. He did a quick consultation and was able to start retraining Ruthie and myself immediately. I could tell a huge difference by the time he left my home. He gave us tools and instructions to use down the road. I can’t recommend him enough.
