FirstBarkWe’ve used Michael for basic puppy training along with help when our two Boston terriers were having some issues getting along (aggression). It was to the point we thought they may not be able to live together any longer. Through his training and guidance on how to handle certain situations and daily training to do, the issue resolved and they are best friends again! Can’t recommend him enough!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
(cont'd) ... But now he pees at random, wherever he wants. It's gotten really bad. He's in a kennel & we crate-trained him, but he pees as soon as he sees us now. Can we get training for that AND for his Barking??
Yes

Mike has helped Oreo our 2m old pit mix. She definitely has that puppy energy and attention span but Mike is able to get and hold her attention. She has picked up the basics pretty quick with Mike's knowledge and training we are still in sessions but after even 2 sessions oreo is showing retainment and following commands. Will be continuing sessions and highly recommend if you are also struggling with puppy or pits bull headedness to get in touch with Mike. 10/10
Mike was great! Trained us well and efficiently
Mike is amazing! Within a few minutes he had our hyper dog doing basic commands, and in the same session he taught us how to get our dog to stop pulling on the leash! Mike is super knowledgeable and knows the best ways to get your dog to listen to you. Would absolutely recommend!
Michael came out to our house to help train our 2 dogs the proper way to greet people arriving at our front door. He gave us great tips to use and learn moving forward. We really appreciated his expertise, kindness, and calm nature. We look forward to working with him again.
