He is also great in assisting me in what I was doing wrong and changing my way of being with Augie. I also greatly appreciate his follow up and his willingness to receive videos of challenges and offer his guidance to make effective changes in behavior. I drove two hours each way for Gabriel and it was well worth the trip!! Pam D.

He took the time to learn about her specific quirks and gave us tools that worked for her. He showed us how to calm her down, walk her on a leash, and even interact with other dogs. But most importantly, he gave us a way to successfully communicate with our dog and for that we will be forever grateful! I can't recommend him enough!

I called Mike for our dog Bruno, who has SEVERE separation anxiety (he is the famous ROOF DOG)…read more Our initial session with Mike occurred in August and lasted over 3 hrs. Mike was professional, knowledgeable, fun to work with and loved by my whole family (pups included!). His training techniques are easy to learn and effective. We saw a HUGE improvement in our dogs' behavior immediately. What earns Mike a 5+ STAR review from me is his responsiveness. It's been over 90 days since our first session and Mike is as accessible today as he was the day of our first session. Every call and text is responded to promptly, even when Mike has been out of town. Separation anxiety is not an easy fix. It's a huge relief knowing that we have Mike available when needed. Mike is a committed, compassionate, honest, and gifted dog trainer with a big heart. I highly recommend him.

I left a 3yo registered English Lab, for 2 weeks at $2,500. I wanted higher level training than…read morewhat she had already been through and specifically requested not to do the basic course. Nick Morrow said he had things for her to do that were not the basic course. After 1 week, they are supposed to provide a video and they did not do that. I was supposed to be getting communication through a messenger app, but that didn't happen until the day before pickup, when they also finally provided a video. When I came to pick her up, she had a bloody puncture on the bridge of her nose, which, to me, looked like a dog bite, but Nick Morrow says it's a normal scratch the dogs get from nosing the kennel. The "scratch" has not healed after a month. Regarding the training, Nick had another person train my dog and they did the basic training, like I said not to do. My dog regressed in her training because she is highly anticipatory. The beginning training countered the higher-level training already taught. Bottom line, not only did my dog come back battered, but I had to retrain her from what they did. They don't follow specific requests and don't communicate as I would've wanted during the tenure. I wish I put her in a safe shelter, instead. Nick Morrow wouldn't return any money because he thinks he did a good job. Just don't go there.

He started…read morewith Chuck and Luciana when he was 4 years old (he is now 8), and the reason we drove him from Boston to Connecticut was because the training program and people were so highly recommended to us. We were immediately happy with the results, the love, and the attention our dog got from being with them. From the moment we walked through the doors, the team made us feel welcome and at ease. Our dog spent an initial training program with Luciana and her team, and since then, he visits every few months for a refresh or a holiday stay. They have given us sound advice on everything having to do with our dog! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, tailoring the sessions to meet our dog's specific needs. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed with dogs' safety and comfort in mind. They also have great customer service--always prompt to answer questions and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Balanced K-9 to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training and caring.

She was also very honest and practical, not judgemental, just really wants to help and her love for dogs radiates in her work.

What sets my work apart, I'm told, is that I empathize with dogs and people equally, enabling me to help each better understand the other and craft compromises that endure. Clients commonly call me "intuitive" or a dog "psychic." Though I don't promote myself as such for fear of sounding too "woo woo," my hunches, backed by science and experience, usually prove true.

He'd done puppy training, but at 4 years old, I assumed his barking/lunging behavior was his "personality." Then, a vet who had trouble treating him (because of his reactivity) strongly recommended Pet Degree. It has been a life-changer! Each lesson has built upon the next (we've done 4 lessons, so far), and Max is walking in parks. Calmly passing bikes, kids, joggers--without any reactivity. He's a different dog! Last week, I started bringing his sister, who is so fearful! The owner, Lynne, immediately introduced a calm, confidence-building atmosphere. I cannot recommend Pet Degree highly enough. This is a trainer who knows the psychology of dogs, and how to help them!
