About Platinum Dog Training

At Platinum Dog Training, we believe that educating owners is just as important as training their dogs. That’s why all of our training takes place with you, the owner, present. Whether we’re in your home, or out in public, we are focusing on not only teaching your dog, but educating you on how you can have the best possible relationship with your pet. We use a balanced approach for training. Our training techniques have proven to be highly effective for even the most difficult of dogs, while also working wonders for dogs who already have a solid foundation, and are just looking to take that last step to excellence.

A++++ I cannot say enough good things about Michael and Platinum Dog Training!!! Our first dog Nandor (Bully/Pittie/ Great Dane) is big and full of energy, only behaved and listened to Daddy before training. With training he now behaves for Mama (me) without a second thought. We then adopted another dog, Gizmo (Terrier?/ Chihuahua), and he was able to train us into being a polite and obedient multi-dog home. My husband and I never thought we'd be able to be able to take Nandor into public without lots of difficulties and now we can take him plus Gizmo into public without making a scene 🤣 Thank you Michael for your training and answering our questions when we had them!!

I have a 4 year old Chihuahua and a 1 1/2 year old American Bully. I was close to giving away my bully because of her bad behavior. When I returned to the house I found something destroyed by her. The last thing she broke was my new sofa and that's where I said; "ok! this dog is not going to change." Another day, a friend who was visiting went to pad her head and the dog tried to bite her face and that was when we decided to seek training. The change in her behavior was very noticeable. My friend came back to visit and was able to hug her and the dog was calm with her. I was so happy with the result of her training that I decided to train the Chihuahua as well. I am satisfied with the training that Michael gave to my dogs. His love and dedication to his work is remarkable. 100% recomended.

We adopted a puppy in November and connected with Michael for training. He is great about explaining all the who, what and why’s! He really just breaks it all down. We thought we got a broken dog but feel completely better after the training we all received. Very flexible and convenient, that he comes to your home. Don’t miss an opportunity to make your dog an amazing well trained family member.

After working with two Well, known dog trainers. I was still not pleased on how my dog performed. I was fortunate enough to hear from a friend about platinum dog training. After just four lessons Rocky understands and obeys commands. Michael was an excellent teacher as I have never owned a dog and he trained us both. He was very patient always on time and very kind and thoughtful.

Can’t recommend Platinum Dog Training enough. We have had such a great experience and have such a well behaved dog now. No more jumping on our guests and no more pulling on our walks. Worth every penny!
