★★★★★ 5.0 Luke TerHark · Feb 2026

We had a great experience working with Michael while training our puppy, Tiger. His approach focused on real obedience and responsiveness, and the results have been outstanding. Tiger now listens on command and is extremely solid with sit, come, down, and heel. Just as importantly, he’s calm, controlled, and confident when walking in public. The training was structured, practical, and easy to reinforce at home, which made a big difference. We’re very happy with Tiger’s progress and would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for effective, real-world dog training.

Michael has been absolutely fantastic! If you are out there, browsing for dog training services, go no further-Michael is your guy! He is so easy to work with, super patient and is full of knowledge. He always replies quickly when you reach out to him. He comes to your house and teaches you how to treat and interact with your dog-In order for you and your dog to be able to live life without so much chaos and anxiety. This experience has been a life changer! This was our last option, I didn’t believe my dog was capable of doing half of what she can do now. The best part-now I know my dog is much happier and therefore acts out far less than she previously had been. Our friends and family have seen the change first hand and it has been incredible. You don’t know what you don’t know-and that’s

Michael has been absolutely amazing from beginning to end… so much so I am sad it is ending! He is so knowledgeable, patient and in the last 4 weeks I have tools for a lifetime to work with our puppy! He came to our home and worked in our environment (with all its distractions including a baby) and helped us work through each command. He was reassuring, kind, and did I mention knowledgeable?? I am recommending Michael to anyone and everyone who wants to train their dog! 1000000/10 :)

I first came to Michael feeling powerless and full of anxiety. Freja, our 6 yr old German Shepard had recently developed some reactivity issues which caused a lot of fear around taking her on walks and interacting with strangers and other dogs. He helped us learn how to communicate with Freja in a way that makes sense to her. Because of that we’ve built more trust, deepened our bond, and have a much better understanding of her behavior and how to handle it. I’ve missed being able to take her out and about without having anxiety. Now that Michael’s equipped us with the tools to help control our dog’s reactivity I feel that not only mine, but also my dog’s quality of life has improved! Michael is thorough and well informed. He has helped to shift our relationship with our sweet girl to a muc

Michael was recommended to us by a previous client of his and is the best. We truly cannot recommend his training enough! We have two very stubborn corgis with two completely different personalities. Training them separately was going well but getting them each to the same level was a challenge. Michael trained the humans as much as he trained the dogs! He provided in-home training that equipped us with tools, structure and stability that have allowed us to not only help with anxiety in the home but in public. It's a complete game changer! Michael is very personable and easy to work with. He was flexible with a scheduling conflict that arose and made communication through the entire process easy. Payments were able to be split up between a down payment and final payment but we were offered
