Mountainside K9 Dog Training

Michaela is amazing at what she does. My dog is aggressive and did not listen at all. She was willing to come to my home and work with us knowing his past. She educated us and helped us work through some of my dogs issues. Without her, my dog would still be running our house hold. He still has more work to do, but that is going to be where I have to continually work with him. I can now take him on walks with more ease, I can have him go to place and not worry about him stealing food from our children while we eat, he will stay in place u till he is told to break. I can get a muzzle on his without him trying to bite me. I can’t thank her enough!

Mountainside K9 and Michaela have helped me to have a better relationship with my dog. She is extremely helpful with problems that have come up with Nyx. Currently our crate anxiety is getting so much better and we are looking forward to our next appointment. The private lessons offer great 1:1 time to go over issues and what to work on next. It gives us the ability to watch Michaela and understand what the next thing to work on is and to do it with Nyx and see if we are doing it right. She gives great feedback and is great to work with. I highly recommend.

I went to Michaela for some assistance in polishing Reese's obedience skills for competition, and in between contacting her initially and my lesson Reese developed a sudden aggression issue. When I reached out about changing the lesson topic, Michaela was super flexible! We ended up brainstorming ideas and still managed to go over some obedience stuff, which ended up serving me well at a trial! She is a balanced trainer and knows her tools well, and she works great no matter what your current level of experience is with handling dogs. She was a lot of help in expanding my ability to use the ecollar effectively, and it's ended up being such a valuable communication tool now between my dogs and I (attached photos of them below practicing stays in a store!)
