Mike and the team at Primal are an incredibly experienced group with the skills to show for it! My partner and I drove all the way from San Diego, CA for K9 Street League Decoy Takeover with our two German Shepherds and had a great time learning, working, and talking with the group. Mike gave great advice, and was willing to explain his recommendations on how to make some minor changes that will have major positive effects. Thank you Primal Canine!
