Michael helped us immensely and in a short time with our 75 pound, three- year-old chocolate lab, Auggie. We are thankful we found Michael. Auggie had become very problematic on walks because he would lunge and bark at every dog we passed. He pulled on the leash so hard that both my husband and I suffered hand injuries. After our first 2-hour session with Michael, Auggie was dramatically calmer and he was eager to learn. As Michael explained to us, Auggie was relieved that we were taking charge - and it showed.

We knew that he would present some special challenges, as he was extremely afraid of noises, new places, and even us.

Michael is a rare find in that he has the scientific education as a behaviorist but he's also incredibly intuitive when it comes to understanding what the dog is thinking.
