We have been working with Michael for a couple months now and I don't have enough good things to say about him. He has been very flexible with scheduling and he is of course wonderful with our dog. He has provided us with a lot of great insights in regard to her behavior and I feel confident that I know how to read my dog much better now. I would absolutely recommend their services for anyone that wants to work towards having their dog be the best version of themselves.

My dog has stranger danger and a very high energy level. During sessions with Michael I learned techniques to use to introduce my dog to new people and ways to exert his energy using mental exercises. Our walks are now so much more enjoyable using these techniques. I no longer have to worry about seeing dogs and other people on our walks.

Michael is an amazing trainer. He is enthusiastic and obviously wants to help. He is patient with us and our dog. My husband and I have complete confidence in him.

We did in home training with Ms. Jamie and had such a great experience. I’m a fully remote employee, we have three dogs, and our youngest, Bustelo, is a real handful. Jamie has trained me on how to train Bustelo! 🤣 in all seriousness, though - she is so kind, attentive, and observant. Our smallest dog (middle in age) was displaying some fearful/anxious body language around Bustelo. After 6 weeks / our third lesson, Scarlet was so much less anxious and was displaying carefree and happy body language around her baby brother. This training takes commitment from the parents of the babies. It can feel like a lot, especially for a reactive pet. But there was a noticeable difference in our family dynamic after just three lessons. Also - their rates are so affordable, especially compared to other trainers in the area. I felt like I could be real with Jamie and while my babies were acting out or acting foolish, I never felt judged. That was huge for me! We’re exploring daycare for Bustelo and Barking Hound Village also offers a compatibility day to see if your fur babe is down to hang with other dogs! The fact that they offer that service for free (at least right now) is amazing! I never would have felt comfortable exploring this opportunity without Jamie and BHV. Recommend over and over. It’s been a fantastic experience and truly life changing for me and for our family.
