I can’t say enough great things about working with Mike. I came to him with my five-year-old dog who was reactive toward other dogs and generally anxious around people. What Mike did went far beyond simply addressing those issues: he helped build a better understanding between me and my dog.

Michael’s classes have been incredibly helpful for us. Our rescue pup is enjoying her walks much more, and so am I! As an inexperienced dog owner I appreciate being educated on what is reasonable and healthy to expect from my dog, and how to communicate clearly with her. The post-class PDFs he sends are very helpful for reminding me of all we covered. And he conducts classes in a positive and fun way so that we always look forward to the next one!

Michael, Brett, and Glad are an excellent team. They worked wonders with our 3 year old Labrador Retriever, Lenny, and his reactivity on walks, but more importantly, helping him adjust to our newborn in the house. Michael was actually in our house the day after we brought our daughter home from the hospital to help us with Lenny. They really understand dog behavior, and are fun to work with. Thank you!
