“So, about a year ago my 22 year old daughter thought it would be a good idea to save a dog at a local rescue group. Capri was about 2 years old and is a mix breed but looks like a lab. Capri is the sweetest dog in the world but at about 65 pounds, she is just to much for me to handle when I’m alone at home with her. I can only let her outside on a long leash because if I try to take her for a walk she drags me around our subdivision. I have to hold on for dear life if we happen to walk up on someone else walking their dog. Then a friend told me about Mike and he was our life saver. It did take us about 6 weeks of working together with Mike before Capri wold loose leash walk with us. She is still a little squirrely around other dogs, but way, way better then before. We will continue to work with her with the things we learned from Mike, and if we can’t get her to settle down completely around other dogs, then we will get Mike back here to help us. I have never met a person as dedicated to helping people and their dogs than Mike. He spent countless UNCHARGED hours with us just to make sure everything was exactly as we had hoped for. I highly recommend Mike if you need help with your dog. He will make it work…….HE’S THE BEST, HANDS DOWN.”

“Our dog Baxter, is a year old, 125 pound Rottweiler and he bit someone about a month ago. This was completely out of character of anything we had ever seen from him in the past. Never the less, the bite was reported and the County had to intervene. During his observation period, Baxter was placed on home confinement and had to be muzzled whenever he was in our yard. My husband and I were beside ourselves, because we did not want nor did we think Bax deserved to be put down, but that is exactly what we were facing. I had heard about Mike and his training from some people that used him for their dog, so we contacted him to find out if he could help us with Bax. That was the best phone call we ever made. Not only does Mike know what he’s doing, he taught us things about Baxter that we didn’t even know. It also ended up being important that Mike is a certified trainer, because the County accepted his assessment when they were making their decision about him. They came out again last week and Mike was kind enough to meet with them too. I believe Mike saved Baxter’s life with the focus training he worked on with Bax over the last 4 weeks. Bax is no longer on home confinement, he no longer needs to be muzzled in our yard or out in public and the County has indicated no further assessment is needed. We are continuing the training for Baxter with Mike because he’s a lot to handle, especially for me, because Bax is as big as me. If you need a trainer to work with a big dog like Baxter, Mike is the guy. It’s amazing to see Baster’s transformation the moment Mike takes a hold of the leash. Mike knows what he is doing and handles a leash like a band conductor handles a wand.”

“Our 8 month old male Standard Poodle Winston grew so fast and we lost complete control of the situation before we knew what hit us. I remember handing him off to Mike the day we dropped him off…….I had to hang on to Winston for deer life, but he calmed down at almost the moment Mike took the leash. I knew Mike would have to deprogram him of all his bad behavior before he would be able to address behaviors my husband and I wanted. We loved our pup and did not want to give him up, so we literally prayed that Mike would be able to help. After about 3 weeks Winston was a different dog, but he still wasn’t where we needed him to be. We left him with Mike for another month and that was the best investment we ever made. We touch base with Mike once or twice a month now just for some refresher work, and thanks to Mike our boy is completely under control now. He is just as lovable and friendly as he always was and we are able to walk with him through the neighborhood without feeling like we were just dragged around by wild horses. Mike certainly does know what he’s doing and we are so lucky to have a trainer of his skill level here in Wisconsin. I highly recommend him to anyone with any kind of dog. He’s the best!!!”
