"Well-behaved family dogs are our specialty. Michael Perry has over three decades of training experience and utilizes the most up-to-date scientific methods. Our methods are force-free, pain-free, and fear-free, but without the over-use and reliance on treats. Start your puppy with the only training you'll ever need. MRI research over the last 10 years has really expanded our understanding of how dogs process information. Using this knowledge, along with an understanding of humans, we have a complete system to develop the strongest relationship, impulse control, and calmness in your best friend. "As an experienced psychotherapist and dog trainer, I bring the dog and human worlds together through connection, communication, mutual respect."

Michael is amazing! Our two year old, 80 lb Goldendoodle was a nightmare on the leash and needed some basic discipline. In 2 sessions, Michael had him walking on a leash like a pro; in 3 sessions, our puppy was trotting happily off leash and listening to my every command. Punctual, reliable, and affordable. His training is logical, humane, and it is clear he loves animals and knows what he's doing. Worth every penny.

We adopted a previous reservation dog who clearly had never been on a leash before. He is also a border collie so he is FILLED with energy. In a few sessions with Michael, we were able to correct his behavior both inside and out. Michael is a very talented trainer and has a way with dogs. I would most definitely use Michael again should we add another dog to the family in the future! Great job, Michael!

Amazing results after just one session!! I knew the minute Michael walked in, we had our very own dog whisperer!! Our 1 yr old golden puppy was walking perfectly on a leash and obeying not only Michael, but my husband and me. We are so happy and can't wait for our next session!!!

In just one training session, Michael Perry has made huge changes in the life of my dog and me! I am thrilled and couldn't recommend him more! I rescued a super high energy dog that was miserable to walk and now he stays in heel by my side! So incredibly grateful for his expertise and help and am looking forward to what future sessions will bring!

Michael is great. He helped Emma turn into a great well behaved dog full of confidence. I would highly recommend him. I never thought I would be able to walk Emma with out a leash and now I can. Thanks Michael.
