Mike is an amazing trainer! We took our 5-year-old rescue German Shepherd Haley to Mike because we were unsure whether she would listen to us in key situations and how she would behave around our young grandchildren. Haley responded to Mike immediately. Within the first few sessions she followed every command without hesitation. Mike’s techniques enabled us to eliminate the few irritating behaviors Haley had developed before we adopted her, and the results are lasting as we continue to use Mike’s methods. It is a joy now to take her on walks without her pulling us all over the road. We are now able to have her in the yard without a leash and she stays with us regardless of distractions from other animals, people, and vehicles. We are absolutely delighted with the results. We highly recommend Mike to anyone wanting to improve their experience with their pet.

We recently used Advanced K-9 Training for our 5 year old rescue Treeing Walker Coonhound and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I appreciate that Mike has been very responsive to any questions we have had throughout the process and is available for follow up lessons upon our request. We have and will continue to recommend Advanced K-9 Training!
Mike is the absolute best when it comes to dog training! Without a doubt the best in Cincinnati and honestly can’t recommend him enough. With Mike’s training my 1 year old Lab/Great Dane mix went from hell on a leash to an absolute angel. Can’t wait to send him back for the off leash program as well. Great investment and great training!
