Alpha K-9 Obedience

Woodrow, my 5 year old Weimaraner would bite other dogs. 3 in one year, in fact. After the third incident, which was more of a dog fight than just a bite, I started the journey to find yet another dog trainer that could correct his behavior. After expressing my story to a local dog trainer, her advice was that there was nothing that could be done and Woodrow would need to be isolated from dogs for the rest of his life. The End. I was devastated. Really? That was it? Upon relaying this story, a friend told me about “The Colorado Dog Whisperer”. Apparently, this would be the last dog trainer I would ever need because HE could help me fix the problem. Boy, was she right. In our first conversation, we talked for an hour about Woodrow, but also about me, too. Michael was very clear that I was going to be the one that would determine Woodrow’s success. If I applied what he taught me, Woodrow would get better. I was skeptical, but also hopeful. How would this be different than any of the other dog trainers? The difference is Michael teaches you how to work with your dog to not just establish dominance in your relationship (any trainer can do that) but to create lasting, positive change in your dog’s energy. Fast forward 5 years and Woodrow never had another incident. I recently got a new Weimaraner puppy and of course, my first call was to Michael to help me train another happy, confident dog!

We had tried 6 other trainers over the past 6 years, only to learn that our dogs can be obedient, however none of the trainers were able to help us overcome the behavior issues. We heard about Michael through a friend but we put off engaging yet another trainer. It was not until we cared for a client’s dog that had been working with Michael the we changed our minds, we could not believe it was the same dog! It is hard to find words for how we feel, but what we have found through Michael has left us in awe. We have been able to overcome all of the behavioral obstacles that we have not been able to in the past. In our very first session with Michael I was brought to tears when I witnessed my husband walking our dog Riley in a heel, a struggle that has lasted 4 years! The power of what this man does is just so hard to express, especially to those that have tried so many trainers before. We will never use or refer any other trainer going forward! We can never thank Michael enough for all that he has done to change our lives, we have never felt happier, the closeness and bond that we have with our dogs is so much stronger now. He is not only an amazing trainer and behaviorist, he is a kind and caring person that has been there to support us through every step of this journey.
