About Platinum Dog Training

At Platinum Dog Training, we believe that educating owners is just as important as training their dogs. That’s why all of our training takes place with you, the owner, present. Whether we’re in your home, or out in public, we are focusing on not only teaching your dog, but educating you on how you can have the best possible relationship with your pet. We use a balanced approach for training. Our training techniques have proven to be highly effective for even the most difficult of dogs, while also working wonders for dogs who already have a solid foundation, and are just looking to take that last step to excellence.

Michael is great! He is very knowledgeable kind and respectful. I have a 7 year old Siberian husky and was having trouble with her aggression and just her willingness to listen to commands and with Michael she’s this whole new dog. Her attitude and behavior is so much better and just improves. On the plus side I can let her outside to run around like a crackhead with the other dogs without worrying about running away as much! A big thanks to Michael who helped my little family have better bonds!

We can’t say enough good things about Platinum Dog Training. Michael came highly recommended by our good friends who worked with him to train their two dogs. Michael is extremely knowledgeable and had our dog responding to commands much faster than we expected. The most valuable piece was his ability to teach us how to effectively communicate with our dog. We are now able to take our dog out on trails and to nearby parks with our kids, something we couldn’t even imagine doing before working with Michael. And we consistently get comments on how well behaved our dog is!

Our Bernedoodle, Moe, is scared of almost everything so was a little more challenging to train than a “normal” dog. Michael did a fantastic job adjusting to Moe’s unique needs and learning style and showing us how to work with Moe to ensure long-term success. Moe is calmer now and we are all happier.

I cannot recommend platinum dog training enough. My Rottweiler Stella had turned aggressive and full of fear. Within 5 minutes of her first lesson she was in his lap and had a new friend. Stella had 8 lessons and she is a brand new dog!!! No more crazy scared dog. I’m able to take her back into public and have confidence in her ability to make the correct decisions. She is happier and more confident. She’s no longer terrified of new people coming into my home and no more aggressive outbursts. I’m so grateful for the advice and corrections I would receive during training so I know what I’m doing wrong and how to correct it so my dog has the confident owner she deserves to have for proper leadership. We would even receive compliments on our outside training sessions. Don’t wait to call Micheal for the best outcome on your mis behaving pup! Worth every single penny.

Our experience training with Michael was amazing! We went into training with a reactive and somewhat aggressive dog. Since training we have noticed a ton of improvements with our dog slate. He is calmer and more peaceful in the house, and is drastically less reactive when out in public. His walks are going way smoother thanks to him knowing how to heel and he’s no longer pulling during the walks. He’s also able to be a lot more calm within the home and is more manageable whenever we have visitors. Overall slate is a happier more peaceful dog and we are the same as his owners!
