Michael is an excellent trainer. He helped train both our very reactive 2+ year old German Shepherd (Toby) and more importantly helped train us to better work and deal with Toby. We used Michael several times including a few sessions to assist us (and Toby) better manage Toby's reactiveness to people coming to the door, etc.. Michael also helped us work with Toby so that he was more controlled around other dogs, people and in crowded situations.
I can't recommend Michael enough... excellent trainer, listener, mentor...

Hi Mike! AN AMAZING THING HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY.
About a month ago you came to our house to help train Sara, our black lab/vizsla rescue. You showed us how to use "the zone" when someone comes to the door as a means of taming her jumping and craziness. We've been working on it with her, and today, when the doorbell rang, sara went straight to the zone on her own! She didn't stay, but did return when I sent her. I was just amazed. Thank you! Along those lines, I'd like to schedule some training sessions with you after the holidays. I know there's a great dog trapped inside this crazy rescue puppy!

I really enjoyed our training session with Truffle. We have been practicing and the pulling is already getting much better. She does not bolt when I open the door. She also responds to the hand signal to come from more than half way across the back field. The down command is much harder. I have only gotten her to do it once. The heel is improving, but we have a long way to go.

Cocoa has improved significantly. We have stopped letting her claim the doorway as her territory and we feel a lot more relaxed when guests come over. They barely even bark we when we come home! She still tries to climb on us when we walk in, but not as bad as before. We reward good behavior with treats and everything is going well INSIDE the home. We still need to do more training interacting with other dogs. We are hoping that by late summer we will be able to pick up where we left off. I thank you so much for your professionalism and this miracle that we thought we would never see! I will reach out to you when we are ready!
