I am beyond grateful for MCC! I have a fear-reactive dog, Brody, and for over six years I struggled to make any real progress, even after working with two other trainers. I couldn’t walk my dogs without dreading encounters with other dogs or people, knowing the barking and lunging would inevitably follow. Having guests over or dealing with unexpected visitors was also incredibly stressful — Brody was simply uncontrollable, and it made everyday life difficult and overwhelming. I reached a breaking point and even considered surrendering Brody so he could find a home where he might get the level of support he needed. The thought of giving him up broke my heart. Determined to try everything, I did more research and found MCC. After an in-home consultation, I signed up for seven in-home lessons and started using an e-collar. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but by the end of our sessions, I was amazed at Brody’s progress. During training, he was able to walk alongside another dog — and even had a little fun during a play session! On our walks now, he's much calmer when we encounter other people, and for the first time, I can actually stop and have conversations with my neighbors. There's still work to do, but both Brody and I are so much more confident. Thank you, MCC, for giving us hope and a new beginning!

MCC is life-changing!!! We have a 6-month old German Shepherd puppy that we tried EVERYTHING with to address her reactive fear-based behavior that kept her from being around family/friends and other dogs. She barked constantly (at humans & other dogs), had constant nervous energy, and didn't want to leave the house. We met John at MCC and decided to give their 5-week board and train a try. The results are amazing!!! It's like she's a different dog. She rarely barks, she easily listens to commands because her anxiety isn't getting in the way, can take her anywhere, and be around familiar and new people. And best of all, she’s happy and her personality shines. Thank you so much to John and the crew!!!
