​

I'm Mike, a professional dog trainer with over 20 years of experience. In addition to my experience as a dog trainer, I am also an Army veteran. I am proud to have served my country and to continue to serve my community by helping dogs and their owners live happier, more fulfilling lives. 

​

With over two decades of experience in the canine industry, I am a dedicated and passionate dog trainer. My journey began in the military, where I served as a Military Working Dog Handler, Trainer, Kennel Master, and instructor. During my time in the military, I was responsible for training and handling explosive detection dogs, patrol dogs, and narcotics detection dogs. I have also had the opportunity to train and certify dog handlers from all over the world. After leaving the military, I continued my career as a professional dog trainer, working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have helped countless dogs and their owners overcome behavioral issues and build strong, trusting relationships.

​

I believe that all dogs are capable of learning, and I use a balanced approach to my training with heavy positive reinforcement methods to help them learn quickly and effectively. I also believe that it's important to build a strong relationship between dog and owner, so I focus on teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs. I can train your dog but it's better if the training comes from you. I use a crawl, walk, run method with all my clients. I'll explain, demonstrate, and have you execute every command and training exercise. You'll be assigned training homework between sessions to strengthen and enhance your training. 

​

I offer a variety of dog training services, including:

Puppy training

Basic obedience training

Advanced obedience training

Problem behavior modification

We will even walk or pet-sit when you're away or at work!

​

I also offer in-home and group training sessions. I'm flexible with my scheduling, so I can work with you to find a time that's convenient for you and your dog. I'm committed to providing my clients with the best possible training experience. I'm always available to answer questions and provide support, and I'm confident that I can help you and your dog reach your training goals.

​

I am also available for consultations and speaking engagements.

If you are looking for a dog trainer with experience, compassion, and a proven track record of success, I am the right trainer for you.

I look forward to helping you and your dog reach your full potential.
