After training 4 dogs with Mike of the course of 18 years I can confidently say Mike is the best! If you want to be able to take your dog anywhere and everywhere and get compliments on how well behaved they are, Mike is your guy. We drove from the mid-peninsula to SF every Sunday morning for many weeks and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Mike is an exceptional dog trainer!
I had such a positive experience with Mike’s training methods. What sets him apart is his well-rounded approach—not just treat-based, although that's where the training begins. He integrates a variety of effective techniques that truly work. One of my favorite parts of his classes is the 10-minute puppy playtime before the session starts. It’s such a smart idea! The puppies get to have fun, burn off some energy, and are much more focused during the class. I’ve never seen other classes offer this, and it’s a real shame because it makes such a difference.
Mike is a knowledgeable and effective dog trainer who is invested in your pup! Our GSD puppy, Hunter, went through Mike's puppy level 1 and 2 classes and it was the best way to start our journey as dog owners. The classes provide supervised socialization, Q&A, individual dog assessment/attention and training exercise practice. My husband and I finished the classes feeling confident in continuing the training and our dog has a great foundation for more advanced obedience. Thank you, Mike!
