Testimonials

Michael is nothing but the best. Very knowledgeable and professional. He definitely knows what he is doing and very trustworthy with any of your needs or concerns that you may have about your canine. Our fur baby is currently being seen for Behavior Modification, and I am happy to see the progress in our boy!
– Michael

Michael and this company have worked absolute wonders with not only my pup Jax but also with me learning to be an efficient and respected pack leader. At the beginning of all this I had little confidence to handle my pups behaviors and my pup had little confidence to grow on his own and now that has all completely changed. Jax grew up with Michael and his pack and we will be forever grateful for everything they have done for us professionally and personally. Jax completed the training program and I have used Michael many times for boarding purposes as well and I can tell you I would not take my dog anywhere else. I am now a confident pack leader and Jax is a confident dog. Thank you for everything you have done Michael and everyone involved . I would highly recommended this company to anyone for any sort of training you most definitely won’t regret it. Jax misses the pack and his training partner Kari very much and hopefully someday we will meet again!
– Client

My dog adores him and gets excited to visit canineman pack. Our experience here was outstanding from the beginning and this will always be the place we return to for dog behavior issues!! So grateful we met you!
