This training facility is great- for beginners. If you are already in competitions, come here if…read moreyou want to only work on basic skills (which I did advanced beginner). They do not run the games. The trainers I had have not participated in CPE events, which is one of the more common agility trials in Michigan. Also, the behavior of one dog and how the owner handled that dog made me not want to return. I got to the point at one class I almost excused myself and my dog due to the treatment of the owner. As it is not the facility's fault or responsibility to control the dog, they should have excuses him and had him join another class such as an obedience class. To have him continue to come each week when the dog is over-active, disobedient, and the owner has to force the dog to the floor is unacceptable. The dog was screamed at, grabbed, and forced down to the ground. We al discipline our dogs differently, but this made me very uncomfortable. They were very nice trainers, but for me, I choose to go elsewhere.

Larry has over 50 years of training dogs for police departments as well as showing dogs. I am a 1st time dog owner and I must admit, very protective of my dog. Larry was so patient with me and taught me so much. I did not need to pay $1500 and weeks or months of training. Maggie walks on a leash, comes when I call her and no longer barks at everyone walking by. She is also much calmer now that I am in charge. Larry is up in age and will ask for driving directions but don't let it put you off. He is a kind and gentle soul. He is also very affordable.

I feel like it's always hard to find a good obedience trainer/class. But Judy is the real deal. She…read moreloves animals, her technique is positive reinforcement and she's a good trainer to the humans too! Her agility classes are so fun for the dogs and humans! Her space is comfortable, safe for the dogs and perfectly located downtown Ply. Judy also does 1-1 and home trainings too. She helped get us started with our rescue pup who was afraid of the sound of her own breathing. Judy taught us some key skills which included changing some of our habits in our house. With any animal that had an unknown or came from an abusive previous home, it takes time to help build trust and change some of the behaviors of the animal. With Judy's guidance and our diligence over the last few years to creating a safe and learning environment for our pup, she's a happy, loving, brave and mostly non-reactive dog. There's always skills we need to bring back into our rotation but it's all thanks to Judy to help us along the way. We've recommended her to many people and my mom is active in classes with her new puppy.

In just one session, Danny completely changed the way we understand and work with our 13…read more1/2-year-old German Shepherd, who has endured over a decade of abuse and neglect. He didn't just train our dog--he trained us how to communicate with her effectively. The results were incredible: she is noticeably calmer, more submissive, and overall much happier. Danny's methods are simple, practical, and easy to apply in everyday situations--both inside and outside the home. He truly lives up to the title of a "dog whisperer." Our girl has always been wary of men, yet she responds to Danny with ease and trust, which speaks volumes about his approach. What stands out most is that Danny didn't teach us to avoid our dog's triggers. Instead, he showed us how to calmly and confidently handle them and set both our dog and ourselves up for success. Walks are no longer stressful--we no longer feel the need to dodge people or other dogs. Instead, they've become enjoyable again. The Saturday pack walks have quickly become the highlight of our week. Danny consistently provides encouraging and constructive feedback that helps us continue progressing and building confidence. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks has clearly never worked with Danny. We are beyond grateful for his guidance and highly recommend K-9 Behavior Rehabilitation to anyone looking to transform their relationship with their dog.

I have always trained my own dogs, and they were all off-leash trained, responding to anything I…read moreasked. Back when I lived on a 40-acre ranch in Northern California, I had plenty of space and other dogs around to help with the process. When my wife and I were fostering dogs in Michigan, she fell in love with a Miniature Pinscher mix named Obi. He was different from any dog I'd trained before, and without other dogs to help with training, it was a challenge. We needed Obi to be able to travel the world with us and assist my wife with her PTSD. Within six weeks, Fred from The Dog Wizard trained us on how to make Obi an incredible companion. The transformation was night and day. Now, Obi walks calmly by our side unless given the 'free' command. He accompanies us to stores, ignoring everything and everyone around him. One of his biggest issues was reacting to other dogs on leash--no longer a problem! Recently, we visited a crowded cider mill with hundreds of kids running around. Obi stayed calmly by my feet, unaffected by the chaos. Kids asked to pet him, and I explained he was working. I can't say enough good things about Fred; he's like family now. What he did for us truly means the world to me."

DAN MORRIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL DOG TRAINER!!…read more We have a 13 month doberman who had an obedience training at 5 months using treats but we were still not pleased with the training. So, we took him to Dan and he has been the best thing to happen to our dobbie. We absolutely love the training he has equipped us to train the dog with no treats or frills. Dan knows dog's psychology so well, he occurs to me as if he's a dog whisperer. He will give you feedback and corrections specific to your dog's behavior along with general commands and training useful to everyone and everyday. Our dog has definite set patterns and can be very stubborn. But as it goes theres no bad dog and only bad training. So, one has to be diligent enough to apply the learnings from the class everyday for the rest of the life of the dog. Been almost 4 weeks and my dogs has started responding exceptionally well. When we took our dobbie for the first time to Dan, I was in awe. It was as if magically Enzo was following everything Dan was asking him to. But here's thing, Dan makes the training look so easy but it's as much a training for you as for the dog. There's so many techniques to learn and apply. Dan has tons of wisdom to share and I absolutely adore Dan's humor. I so regret not getting him sooner to Dan. Nevertheless, it's never too late for anything, certainly not for training your dog right. Even post the classes, Dan is considerate enough to entertain any questions or concerns over the calls as we leave Michigan. Enzo with Dan Moris in the pictures here!

As a further waste of my time, I was given one price for training only to be upsold once I was in person. It's great they have these favorable reviews but my experience was completely negative. It's probably worth noting these reviews seem to be rather dated. Perhaps the management changed or ownership changed. The staff needs to take more copious notes when initially speaking with potential clients. In my experience if the manager had a modicum of common sense she would have offered a discount on a class for the inconvenience they caused.

I started with Michigan Dog Training in the puppy class with Fidget earning her Star Puppy and then…read morethe Basic class and was very impressed. Eventually, after training Fidget at home for a while and other training, I decided to train her as a service dog for my social anxiety which is recognized by the ADA as a disability. Working privately with Michael has been amazing. I couldn't believe how much his knowledge about dogs has made such a huge difference in Fidget. The change after just one lesson was evident. I've learned that the e-collar isn't a punishment but rather just a tool to get her attention. Kind of like a tap on the shoulder. With my continuing the training at home and Michael, she's mastered walking on a loose leash, focusing on me versus her surroundings, recall, disregarding other dogs, the necessary tasks to be a service dog and earned her CGC and CGCA. We will soon be starting Advanced Training.
