My Rottie and I came to mike after we went to a local chain training facility who’s entire mindset was basically use the electric collar till the dog listens. I clearly knew this is not right for my dog and brought him to mike. My dog fell in love with mike instantly. His constant enthusiasm and dedication to my dog was truly incredible. I would highly recommend canine confidence center to anyone who is struggling with their dog or just simply wants to fine-tune some training. Either way you cannot go wrong.

We did the 3 month unlimited training sessions with Mike for our pup Hazel which I highly recommend. Mike is hands down the best trainer you could ever ask for! He truly understands dogs and their behavior and works so well with both them and their owners. He is such a nice person and always a pleasure to have sessions with. He is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He is always responsive to questions that pop up. We feel so lucky to have found him.
