Mike Preis Dog Training

Working with Mike was truly the best experience! He has so much knowledge & highly skilled at cascading that to you in a way that makes sense. My dog and I would be totally lost without him and I don't know how I would have gotten my dog adjusted to Brooklyn life without his help. We completed 5 sessions and I will definitely be scheduling more in the future. My dog is pretty nervous, but I think any dog & owner could benefit immensely through working with Mike.

My 7-month-old mini Dachshund, Pickles, and I have gained valuable insights and skills working with Mike! His humorous approach to addressing dogs' behavioral quirks makes training enjoyable and stress-free. Mike is both clear and patient in explaining new techniques. The recap emails, filled with context and additional training resources, are not only useful between sessions but also serve as a handy reference over time. Despite concluding our training sessions with Mike, he equipped us with ample resources to continue addressing Pickles' leash reactivity. Would absolutely recommend working with Mike if you have a crazy lil pup!

I am so so grateful for Mike, his knowledge, his expertise and his training methods. I've worked with a trainer about 8 years ago, and it was fine, nothing special. But Mike is in a league of his own! Working with a positive enforcement trainer was so important to my girlfriend and I, and Mike had such fabulous reviews and was very responsive. We adopted a very stressed, scared, and anxious dog who originally came from Texas. So his first week in Brooklyn understandably made him pretty fearful with all the sights, sounds, and smells that he wasn't used to. He was too nervous to go to potty outside and we decided to look for a trainer to help us teach our pup that the outside can be a fun place, not a scary place. It was clear that our dog was potty trained, but he was just too nervous to do his business outdoors. I'm not exaggerating when I say that from the moment Mike stepped into our home, we saw a change in our dog. The smallest changes make the biggest difference sometimes, and we couldn't believe how excited our dog was when we went outside with Mike. The day Mike came over for the first time was the last time we had an accident indoors! Even just from that first visit, the tools and tips we had was enough to make our dog less fearful and know that he's safe with us outside. Over the next three sessions, we got so many more tips, tools, and training to help us in day to day, including avoiding any potential reactivity around other dogs while walking outside on leash. After each session, Mike sent a super detailed email with plenty of reference videos, articles, books, etc. that we regularly reference. I'd recommend Mike a thousand times over, and already have done so to other friends who have dogs with separation anxiety. He truly cares about the well being of dogs and we're forever grateful for everything he's helped us out with!

Our experience with Mike has been exceptional. We were so impressed with his attention to detail and thorough assessment of our concerns with our dog Enzo. In each hour-long session, he packed a wealth of knowledge that left us amazed at how much we learned. Enzo's behavior has improved significantly, and we now have a deeper understanding of his feelings and behavior. We can't recommend working with Mike strongly enough for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective dog trainer!
