We absolutely love Mike he puts the dogs first and focuses on praise based training. Explains the process and takes a family approach working with the dog to achieve the results. My daughter faithfully works with her pup. She is 11 has social anxiety; we wanted her to have training with her dog so she could be in control this has help her as much as her dog. We are so appreciative of everything she has learned and will continue to learn. We also love the quality leather leashes and collars my old leash hurt my hand with these we are able to have a quality grip and last like any collar you need to put have it on the proper size my child buys a ton of fancy ones but when it comes to going out we alway use our leather so we know we have the best grip and our collar won't slip off or break! read more

I really wanted to like Mike and believe in the training we were doing there. I spent over $600 on my dogs here including the upsell on custom leashes and collars. The collar was poorly fitted on my dog so that he was able to slip his collar and get away on a pack walk. It also stained my clothing and my white dog badly when we went out in the rain despite using the mink oil on it as requested. As soon as I got to class my dogs would be taken away from me and Mike would mainly handle them. The result being that my dogs listen to Mike in the studio but do not listen at home even though I'm working with them daily. After completing 12 sessions we continued to go to playgroups. I mentioned to him that my dog became aggressive with a friend and he brushed it off telling me that I should pick my friends better and trust my dog. Not sure this is the best advice considering no matter who it is I can't have my dog biting people. After I spent my $600 on classes, and bought into every up-sale I was told that I was no longer welcome in group Because another group member saw me at a dog park with her dog. We were the only ones there, I didn't let them drink out of the water or eat any other dogs poop. The day before Christmas I woke up to an extremely aggressive message (8 am- before business hours even) telling me I was no longer welcome in the group. To be quite honest I wasn't ever actually told that I couldn't bring my dog to the dog park but I need to let them go to the bathroom in between appointments we had that day it's not some thing that I even do often. Besides learning some hand signals that my dogs don't respond to despite continuous personal work with them, I walked away in a worse position then I started in and light over $600. I forgot to mention also that he told me my husband wasn't allowed at training. read more

We are so happy with the progress out dog has made since we started training with Mike.
