Testimonials

“Hands down the best dog trainer EVER!! Not only has Mike been great with our dog, but he has been very patient with us as well, which has allowed for us to fully understand this whole process. Our year-old golden retriever was very hard to handle, but after spending a week with Mike, we had a totally different dog! Mike truly cares about each and every dog and genuinely wants them to succeed. He provides you with all the tools necessary to maintain the training once you have completed your session. Not only does he provide four free sessions after your training, but he greatly encourages that you continue to bring your dog weekly to maintain the training. Mike is very easy to communicate with, which makes the whole process that much better! I cannot recommend Mike and his dog training services enough!”
– Katie Weser, Springboro, OH

“All around an amazing experience with Mike! Mike will tell you how it is and not sugar coat anything which I respect and loved about the training. Brought my cattle dog in for puppy training and had a great time and learned a ton. Huge difference in my dog from the start to now. He’s still a puppy but a puppy that understands commands and rewards. I would suggest Mike and this business to anyone looking to have their dog trained. Can’t wait to eventually start the next level training sessions! 11/10.”
– Hook Family, Centerville, OH

“This is our second time using Homeland K-9 Academy. Mike is wonderful to work with. He did a fantastic job training our puppy. We continue to attend his weekly classes to build on the foundation he created with the private lessons. Mike is available by phone/text anytime you have a question. His advice does not end when the lessons are done. I know there are a lot of choices out there, but I highly recommend you choose Homeland K-9.”
