Tri-State Canine Obedience

Mike Dixon is an excellent dog trainer. We started with private sessions for a few behavioral issues and basic commands, and the progress was amazing after just a couple of sessions. We ended up enrolling in Advanced Obedience class, Therapy Dog prep, and even Off-Leash class — something I truly never thought my beagles could be trusted with. But Mike’s techniques work, and our dogs are doing very well off leash. You will have homework, but Mike explains everything clearly and is always happy to answer questions. If you put in the time, the results are amazing. Our dogs are a joy to be around now, their recall is much improved, they walk nicely on a leash—and we get comments all the time about how well behaved they are. Highly recommend Mike — he has made life better for us and our dogs!

We approached Mike to ask for help with our dog who was traumatized by a previous trainer and had become aggressive. We chose Mike because he has 25 years of experience and great reviews. Mike did not disappoint. He came out, assessed the situation and was optimistic he could help her if we followed his guidance. Within the course of a month, our dog had made drastic improvement. We cannot praise his methods enough. He has made a huge difference in our dog’s life and truly cares. She has bonded with him and is now comfortable being around him. If you have a dog in need of guidance for behavioral issues, Mike is your guy.

Best dog training in the city of Cincinnati! Mike Dixon is a pro and got our reactive pitbull / staffordshire mix dog Tank back on track within 3 sessions of working with him. Mike is reasonable and excellent to work with. He has over 25 years of dog training working with reactive dogs, aggressive dogs, and normal dog training as well. Highly recommended for puppies, younger and older dogs! Thank you Mike 🙏

Mike was great! We reached out because our dogs were resource guarding, always under our feet, and could barely walk out the door without them trying to escape or barking excessively. We also had lots of issues with barking and jumping when guests came over. Mike came in assessed the situation and gave us a plan. We followed the plan well for many weeks and with a few sessions over the course of 3 months our dogs are calmer, let us come and go with ease, and overall better behaved. I want to add we also had just added a new baby to our family and Mike gave us excellent guidance and plans for ensuring all are happy. He even gave us plans to follow as the baby begins to crawl, walk, etc. I’d highly recommend Mike and his team!

Mike came to our home to help with our high anxiety and aggressive pup. We were feeling pretty worried and a friend said she heard great things about his work. He came to our home, figured out what our dog was struggling with by his behaviors. Mike gave us a plan to follow for a period of time and came back to assess his progress. Our dog was doing so much better. He gave us our next round of tasks and we know our dog is going to do great. Our dog has made leaps and bounds. We are no longer worried when people come to visit. Mike is so good with dogs who have behavioral issues.. He has helped change our dog into a sweet, relaxed and friendly pup. We are so impressed! Couldn’t believe how knowledgeable he is and that his teaching and plans do in fact work. We highly recommend him
