The K9 Coach FL

When my wife and I started working with Mike, we were almost at our wits end. Our Malinois/Dutch Shepherd mix puppy was uncontrollable, reactive and fear aggressive. Walks with her were miserable because she pulled and barked/growled at every passing person and dog. After 2 months in Mike's program, walks are now enjoyable, the fear aggression is greatly reduced, and the reactivity is significantly better. Throughout the whole process, Mike has responded to every text and phone call and answered every question. We very strongly recommend Mike and have every intention of using him for all of our pups to come.

We are two lessons in and can’t believe the changes we have already seen in our Pittie. His anxiety and aggression have been so much more under control because our boy is so much happier and able to control himself. I can’t recommend Mike and K9 Coach enough. He really understands how dogs think and listens to your individual situation to help you retrain yourself to be a better pet communicator using consistency, patience and the right amount of authority and love for your furbaby!

I rescued a 1.5 yr old deaf Pit/Mastiff mix in July of 2020. My priority was to begin training to learn how to communicate effectively with him. (I was very intimidated by Buddy being deaf). Additionally, Buddy weighs 90Ibs - I wanted to have control. Enter: Mike with K9 Coach! Mike is a wealth of knowledge & he is confident in his direction. After just one initial private home visit, I felt much more at ease that success was within reach. I’ve learned from Mike that dog training is as much about training me as it is about training Buddy. I’ve also learned that practice/repetition is crucial. Anytime that I reach out to Mike, he is prompt with his response. Buddy & I have attended weekly group classes for a year now. Classes are relaxed, fun & full of extremely helpful tips! Today, in class, Buddy & I confidently & successfully completed class all off leash in a public setting with tons of environmental distractions using only hand signals!! Thank you K9 Coach!!! Call Mike!

We got our 8 week old German Shepherd, and he is an alpha that is not afraid of anything. We knew we needed help so we got a consultation with mike, and when he showed us Leda and some of the basic things he would teach right off the bat, we were amazed to say the least. We could hardly hear what he was saying and she listened extremely well. We enrolled our dog because he was biting a lot at home and nothing we did would stop him from biting hands, feet, rugs, and furniture. After the first day of training these habits were all curbed, and we have not had any issues since. Mike gives all of the tools to be successful with your dog, and all you have to do is follow his guidance. His classes are as close to a lifetime guarantee you can get, and he is extremely involved in helping with any questions in or outside of class. Any time we have trouble we can send a video, or questions and get a critique on what we may be doing wrong. When we go on walks and to the dog park people are amazed at how well our pup listens being as young as he is. This has been a great investment in helping us stop bad habits, and also teaching us how to better work with our dog and his personality.

We have an 8 month old very hard headed champion Bred Rottweiler who is going to be a very big boy. He is a very energetic and loving pup but he didn’t know good manners and couldn’t even understand how to walk on a leash. Everything was a game, and I am a petite woman. My husband works a lot. I reached out to Mike for the board and train program because I was pregnant full term, and our pup needed some training before we brought the baby home. Mike took our pup Bronny for the 2 week bowed and train program, and he came home when my baby was just 2 days old. Bronny, our pup, is a whole new mature dog!! He hasn’t once tried to bother my newborn, he has been patient and calm and has obeyed every command we have given. He now plays nicer with our other pets, and he walks perfectly on a leash! Mike even went the extra mile to train him to walk with the stroller. I am very impressed and happy with Mike’s training skills. It is the best money we ever spent!!
