Whispering Oaks AKC DOG TRAINING

Absolutely the most amazing dog trainers I have ever come across! They took a dog that I really thought they would send right back to us and trained him effortlessly (or it seemed that way to me) and we can't thank them enough. Now that dog is a member of the family and can be around our 2 young kids and plays around our farm without any problems. If you are on the fence about using a trainer, this is who to go with. You won't regret it!

I was encouraged by a friend to hire Mike/ Whispering Oaks to train my German Shepherd, Kyria, to become a service dog. They did an excellent job with Kyria's training and care. I purchased another German Shepherd, and I took him, Micah, to them. I was and am very pleased with the results. Mike and his staff are very thorough with the onset of drop to turnover. I have recommended Whispering Oaks to both breeders I bought my dogs from, friends, and family who own dogs. I will be taking all my future German Shepherds to them for training, and when we go out of the country, they will be boarding my dogs.

We enrolled our four-year-old German Shepherd, Mombo, in Whispering Oaks' Advanced Off-Leash Training program in May 2026, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mombo is the third German Shepherd we've owned, and overall he was a well-behaved dog. However, he had begun resource guarding our family whenever guests came to our home, and we knew we needed professional guidance. Our veterinarian highly recommended Mike Sinteff and his team at Whispering Oaks, and we're so glad we followed that advice. The transformation has been incredible. Mombo is calmer, more attentive, and consistently looks to our family for direction. Just as importantly, Mike didn't just train our dog—he trained us. The knowledge and coaching we received have helped every member of our family become a confident, consistent leader that Mombo trusts and follows. Our confidence continues to grow alongside Mombo's, and we now feel much more comfortable welcoming visitors into our home and taking him with us to parks, gatherings, and public events. If you're considering professional dog training, don't hesitate. The investment is absolutely worthwhile, and the results speak for themselves. We are incredibly grateful to Mike and the entire Whispering Oaks team for giving us the tools to build a stronger, more trusting relationship with Mombo.

Whispering Oaks trained my 5 1/2 month old collie. With their AKC training methods, my dog returned home after three weeks, with an understanding that I was her pack leader. I took her to a tennis tournament with tons of people carrying and pulling tennis bags Nothing intimidated her. The players were very curious expressing how cute she was and yet she sat and greeted each person obediently. She stayed by my chair for four hours With the leash just lying loose on the grass. If your dog has bad habits or like me, you have a puppy that you never want to have bad habits; then I recommend the AKC training facility, Whispering Oaks. The trainers train with praise! This method prevents the dog from ever being overweight!
