My seven year old mini schnauzer had always been a nervous dog, and it only got worse once we moved…read morefrom the city to the suburbs: he was anxiously alert, became wary of all strangers, and began nipping at and biting people, and was very overprotective of me and of the house. I contacted Michael after a recommendation from our vet, who herself had noticed the escalating change in my dog. Michael was a god send! Not only does he really know and love dogs, but he's a great teacher. He was great at helping me understand the way dogs think and taught me what I needed to do in order to better command my dog and give him the boundaries, direction, and leadership he needed to feel more calm and confident. Not only did my dog LOVE our sessions with Michael (he would even wait for him by the door when he knew he had "school"), but he learned very quickly and is now a LOT calmer over all. Situations that were once stressful and even sometimes dangerous for us are now calm and much better controlled, and we can resume normal life activities again. Michael taught me to understand what my dog needs from ME, so that I can get better behavior from and provide a happier and calmer life for HIM. That being said, remember that dog training involves training the owner in order to train the dog, so you also have to put in the work! Just calling Michael and not doing any of the training on your own between sessions will not solve anything! Additionally, Michael is very professional and kind, is quick to respond to questions or problems via text, email, and phone, and is very flexible with his scheduling (we did the private in-home sessions). He takes the time to address all your concerns, and always aims to use safe and positive reinforcement training methods, rather than other trainers I had researched that use methods that include things like shock collars and consequence-based training, which I personally did not prefer to use for my dog if I could avoid it. Calling Michael was the best thing I could have ever done for my dog, and for my family as well. I can't say enough about how great our experience was with Michael! I would highly recommend him!

If I could give this place zero stars, I would…read more My dog attended daycare here from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Shortly after picking her up, she began vomiting blood and hard pieces of plastic PVC. I rushed her to an emergency veterinary hospital, where the vet confirmed--based on X-rays--that the plastic had been ingested earlier that same morning. When I contacted the daycare, I was told their cameras were "down," so there is no footage of what happened while my dog was supposedly in her quiet room. Even after I provided official medical records from the emergency vet, the facility refused to take any responsibility or offer assistance with the emergency vet bill. The only thing they offered was a few free nights of boarding--which I will absolutely never use. My dog will never return here. This was a terrifying, expensive experience that could have ended far worse. If you value your dog's safety and well-being, I strongly recommend finding another daycare or boarding facility that actually takes those responsibilities seriously.

I came to this daycare with high expectations after it was recommended by my trainer, someone I've…read moreinvested a lot of time and money with. I was told the facility had over 15 years of experience and held higher standards, especially given its stricter vaccination requirements compared to other daycares. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the start. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed how chaotic the environment was. The facility opens later than most competitors, which creates a crowd of people and dogs clustered at the front entrance. Inside, the noise and lack of structure were overwhelming -- barking dogs and confusion, not the calm, controlled atmosphere I expected from a professional operation. I dropped my dog off around 10:30 a.m. for what was supposed to be an evaluation day. By 2:30 p.m., I received a call that he had been scratched by another dog -- seriously enough that they felt the need to notify me. I wasn't given many details, just that he had been playing with a "reserved" dog who jumped and scratched him. My question is: why was this interaction allowed to happen? I was told dogs would be grouped based on temperament. If my dog is moderately energetic, why was he placed with a dog described as reserved? This isn't the first time my dog has been to daycare. He's been to another facility several times without a single issue. I only tried this one because of the recommendation, and now I regret that decision. It seems clear the facility is understaffed. There are simply too many dogs and not enough people managing them. That's a dangerous combination -- and unfortunately, my dog was the one who got hurt because of it. I expected better. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because a lack of proper supervision and structure can easily lead to more serious incidents.

With a 7 year old child in the house, Cookie spent most of her time in her crate. I just could not risk my daughter accidentally getting hurt. Cookie went with Danny for 4 weeks and she came back a whole new dog. Before Danny, cookie was never allowed to roam the house. I am forever grateful for Danny's patience. He would send me updates, pictures and videos on Cookies progress. He even followed up with another lesson to show my dad how to properly handle Cookie at home. Thank you Danny! You saved Cookie.

He saw some behavior to be corrected with Leo and he went right into training mode which was great for me as a first time puppy mother to learn.
