Elissa is a thorough, skilled and caring trainer. She listened to my concerns/needs. After meeting…read moreme and my dog, she developed a workable plan that met my rewards-based method preference. I rescued an 11-month German Shorthaired Pointer who had a very high prey drive and absolutely no recall. My GSP is now a reliable trail and beach dog who responds to a code word ("Come" no longer worked when we met Elissa.) and/or whistle. Elissa worked with us 4-5 times, but mostly she gave me the understanding, skills and followup exercises to work with my dog myself. She explained behavior theory behind the exercises, showed me how to properly carry them out. She followed each training session with detailed notes and other resources. Success wasn't instant, but steady. With Elissa's help, I have a trustworthy companion whom I feel comfortable letting off leash.

Micheal has hands down changed the way we live with our beloved dog, Ace…read more We rescued him from a back yard breeder situation, he was abused , attacked by many dogs and was an incredibly nervous/fearful dog with absolutely no manners. He use to pull us on his walks, run away once the front door opened and absolutely NO CONCEPT of recall. After completing Michaels board & train program - ace came back to us as a completely different dog. He walks in a perfect heel, he walks with his head held high & happy tail wag posture, he no longer darts out out the house and looks to us for a command. Not only has Micheal given Ace the confidence he needs to live his life as a happy dog, but he gave us the tools we needed to live in harmony with our dog. I'm no longer dreading to take Ace out for walks, it's actually one of my favorite things to do. There are no such thing as "bad dogs" Just need the right trainer and with the dedication to make your dreams come true. We seriously appreciate Micheal and his expertise so much. (P.s) Ace loves Micheal, a dog who was once super fearful of men. That's all you need to know!

First off, I'd like to start off by saying that Micheals board and train program has been one of…read morethe best investments I've done in my lifetime. I've bounced around to many dog trainers in my life and there was always a cop out excuse that was commonly used: "Your dog is bred poorly" "Some dogs are just aggressive" "Your dog just doesn't have it in him" Which left me feeling defeated, frustrated and ultimately my dog wasn't getting the help he needed to live his best life.. But Michael was the only trainer that was able to get a handle on my GSD right off the bat. My dog no longer runs away, comes back when I call him and walks by my side with ease. Micheal has taught me so much about how to understand dog body language, how to time the corrections and help guide my dog to greatness. I'm a personal trainer and I'm now able to take my pup to my clients house, where he has multiple distractions around him (kids running, weight lifting bars slamming in the floor, basketballs being tossed around) Yet- he just sits in his down position and just observes his surrounds in peace. I couldn't recommend this man enough. It's life changing knowledge he shares with all his clients.

We went through a fear stage with our shepherd which we have never experienced with our other dog. They were able to help us through this stage and help find what works for him and to over come things that were an issue. He use to pull on the leash and now we can walk nicely on a leash on one side. Any questions or concerns we had or have they were able to answer and help with. We see a big difference in our dog vs when we first enrolled him into training. They teach you to train your dog, so you know what you need to do. We worked with Kyla and she was great. We are currently in group classes and Kyle, Kyla, and Brian have all been great. The group classes have really helped with dog reactivity and working around distractions. They are all patient and very knowledgeable, especially with our working breed shepherd. I highly recommend this place and we will continue to go here with any future pup.

I hired Jason for the evaluation of my 6 month old puppy. His "calling card" is that he comes to…read moreyour house to evaluate and then train. I wanted to learn how to prevent my rapidly growing big dog from lunging and pulling while leash walking. Jason showed me his training "skills" by walking my puppy with a choker chain collar. He FORCEFULLY yanked the choker to the point of lifting my pup off the ground. My neighbors who saw this, as well as myself, were outraged. When I told Jason he was finished, he tried to convince me to board my dog with him for 2 weeks. After the display of his training "skills" there was no way my pup would be anywhere near him. I literally paid his "evaluation fee" to force him to leave because I wanted nothing to do with him or his "training." Be aware he tells lots of stories about his past trainings and experiences and one has no way to validate anything he says.
