Rochester NY Dogs

We found Michael through google after looking all over the place for someone who could come to the house and assist us in training our dogs who are in pretty different stages. We have a 7 year old dog who needed a refresher in some of the basics as well as helping me to make our walks fun again as she has gotten more leash-reactive as the years have gone on. We also have a 6 month old puppy who needed the basics. I knew that no class was going to give me the training for both dogs at the same time and my and my partner's schedules are both pretty busy. Our experience with Michael was an absolute pleasure, he was quick to respond, professional and able to fit us right in. We did the 5 class package with him, which has worked out beautifully. We both loved his style of training as he ensures to explain the reasoning behind his techniques and behavioral interventions, which really helped with understanding the greater concept and how to apply it across a variety of behaviors. He always made himself available to answer any questions we had between sessions and our dogs were absolutely exhausted after every session (which was an added bonus). His pricing is fantastic for any in-home dog trainer based on the research that I did into other trainers in the area, especially for 2 dogs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for help with training their dog and will definitely be keeping him in mind for if we have more dog training or boarding needs in the future.

Found Michael on line when looking for a pet sitter, which was coming up fast! Mike was very flexible and prices extremely reasonable. We left our anxious 5 yr old German Shepard rescue on Saturday and came back on Friday to more confident, happy dog. Nevada enjoyed playing with the other dogs, is more relaxed and hides less in her safe corner. Before we left she would run from the room when the TV was on, last night she stayed with us for hours! Will be calling Mike again and can say with confidence you will love your experience too. Thank you Mike!!

My entire family was going out of town for a week for a wedding and we had no one to watch my families 4 dogs. We worried about being about to find a reputable place that would take all 4 (one being a pit bull) on such short notice. I contacted Rochester NY dogs and they assured me it would not be a problem. They had experience dealing will all types of dogs and even met with us and the 4 dogs beforehand to put us at ease that they were okay with taking all 4. They provided us with updates and photos almost daily which allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not have to worry about the dogs. Rochester NY dogs is a very professional, easy to contact and always willing to answer any questions or concerns of ours. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again!

Mike is an excellent dog trainer in the Rochester area who I can readily recommend without reservation. He has worked closely with my Shiba Inu puppy since I brought her home from the breeder and has expertly guided me through crate training, teething, basic obedience, and socialization training. He is extremely knowledgable, accomodating, friendly, and patient with dog owners of all experience levels.
