Your Dog’s Guru transformed our wild beast into an attentive dog! They not only taught him better manners, but helped me better understand how to coach him to the best results and (try to) stay consistent. PS I’ve been a dog owner for more than 50 years and this guy had already graduated top of his class from puppy school a few years ago, but he’s very smart and athletic. Now I have tools for us to enjoy each other so much better.

Annie and Michael and the YDG staff has been such a treasure! Our dogs have been going there for 4 years and we have nothing but positive things to say! They treat all the dogs like their own. They're invested in the dogs' health, development and well-being, in addition to the well-being of the dogs' families! They were life savers for us during some recent health issues. They repeatedly and graciously took our dogs last minute for both play school and boarding for days at a time. It was so helpful to know that our pups were happy and in good hands, and that they continue to be during their regular play school schedule. YDG is like extended family to us!!

We love Your Dog's Guru and most importantly so do our dogs. We have used Mike for 1:1 training at our house and in the facility to help us train our 3 Yorkies - Rocco, Reese and Louie.
Michael and Annie are very knowledgeable and have helped us correct so many behavioral problems. We also have done board and train for our dog Rocco - and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our babies!

We have been taking our two dogs to Your Dog's Guru for the past 4 years. Michael and his staff are nothing less than amazing. They care about our dogs like their own. We have left our dogs with them for extended periods with no problems whatsoever. They are the best.
