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.

TLDR; Great person and a great dog trainer, I highly recommend him and the price is as listed on his website for everything included
My dog Zero was absolutely wild and out of control before we got training from Michael, I went to a couple of different trainers before and nothing was changing. In the span of 8 weeks he went from trying to dart after everything and anything to calmly walking next to me without a leash. Overall he's a happier and more fulfilled dog and feels like a part of the family due to Michael's guidance and teaching method to not only Zero but for me as well.

I just wanted to say this was an awesome experience! Michael was very knowledgeable on what to do to get Reese follow his commands. We did an eight week program. It was a wonderful eight weeks! We, my husband & I totally ❤️ recommend this program. Michael doesn't just teach your furbaby...he teaches you! Reese just turned 1 in May..(we got her @ 10weeks)..she was very skiddish to loud noises. We can now walk down the sidewalk & have a semi go past us & we just keep on walking. Michael has helped her with her confidence..as well as ours! We were totally against the e-collar but we are glad we tried it..You just have to have an opened mind..give it a chance. You will not be disappointed! Words cannot even express how thankful we are that we got connected! ❤️ We enjoy taking our furbaby on walks & not getting our shoulders ripped out of our sockets! Thank you Michael 😊

I highly recommend Michael and Platinum Dog training for all your dog training! He has taken my crew of barkers and got them to walk nicely without barking at all of our neighbors. My walks with the dogs are so much more enjoyable. My dogs really enjoy simple commands and are so much easier to manage. Even if you have a small dog like I do, I recommend getting them trained. My dogs are so much happier after being trained and I will continue to work with them.

Michael is great at what he does! From my first lesson, Michael put my dog and I at ease. He explained everything in detail, and answered all the questions I had. After just a few in-home lessons, it’s like I have a brand, new dog! Our dog is so much calmer now that we are communicating! He comes when he’s called, he will sit & stay on his “ Place “ When I’m answering the front door , and he can even lay down and be non-reactive in public! Run don’t walk to platinum dog training and let Michael show you how to drastically improve your relationship with Your dog!

Hands down five stars for Michael and Platinum Dog Training!
We called Michael after seeing a Facebook friend's rave post about his training services. We were not even searching for a trainer but her success post (mid-training) intrigued us that much. We have a 3-year old golden doodle and a 1-year old English springer spaniel. We reached out for behavioral issues and general obedience, and we saw a change in our dogs within one week. Michael showed us how boundaries create an easy opportunity for our dogs to behave: greeting guests is easier and walking our dogs is enjoyable. We also had let the dogs control the house and we took that control back. I will venture to say the training is for YOU more than your dog . . . but it's so good and so worth it! We are thrilled with our dogs' behavior and obedience and highly recommend Michael and Platinum Dog Training.
