After training 4 dogs with Mike of the course of 18 years I can confidently say Mike is the best!

We drove from the mid-peninsula to SF every Sunday morning for many weeks and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Mike is an exceptional dog trainer!
I had such a positive experience with Mike’s training methods. What sets him apart is his well-rounded approach—not just treat-based, although that's where the training begins. He integrates a variety of effective techniques that truly work. One of my favorite parts of his classes is the 10-minute puppy playtime before the session starts. It’s such a smart idea! The puppies get to have fun, burn off some energy, and are much more focused during the class. I’ve never seen other classes offer this, and it’s a real shame because it makes such a difference.

Mike is a knowledgeable and effective dog trainer who is invested in your pup! Our GSD puppy, Hunter, went through Mike's puppy level 1 and 2 classes and it was the best way to start our journey as dog owners. The classes provide supervised socialization, Q&A, individual dog assessment/attention and training exercise practice. My husband and I finished the classes feeling confident in continuing the training and our dog has a great foundation for more advanced obedience. Thank you, Mike!
