My pandemic rescue pup really needed some help socializing with other humans and dogs. Michael has helped Mugsy be more comfortable and well behaved in a variety of situations. Mugsy still loves seeing Michael, he has made such a huge impact on our quality of life, well be forever grateful.

As we came out of the pandemic, we noticed that our Frenchie had become very aggressive towards other dogs and passers by. His aggression escalated when we took him camping, and he snapped at some of our friends. Michael was referred to us by a local rescue group who uses him to work on hard to adopt cases. He worked with Duke, and us, and we saw improvements after just one visit. We implemented his advice during our training walks and have continued to take Duke several times per week for training. We can now walk by strangers and dogs without having the embarrassment of his reactive behavior. We highly recommend Michael and his gentle/calm way of training dogs!

We have used Michael for a few months and he has been nothing but superb. His expert training has helped our 10 month lab consistently behave during our walks. He used to pull a great deal but now after a few short sessions he is very manageable. Michael has gone out of his way for us in many different areas and is very accommodating to our needs and patient with Toby our dog. We can count on Michael to always be available if we need him for a quick text or phone call. So glad we have him to lean on.

Michael has been walking, training, and boarding my large dog Alfie for a few years now. Always updates, reliable, and available. Look no further!

Michael was really great with our dog Yuzu. He gave us frequent updates throughout the day and weve noticed positive changes since the training day.I highly recommend him!

He does pure magic. My aussies were horrid. They fed off each others anxiousness :(. Like pulled my back out on a walk because they randomly lunged at a noise. And they grew up with a different cat and we got a new cat and we were legitimatly afraid for the new cat so she couldnt sleep with us because one aussie was so bad with her sudden movements. We tried multiple different training types with them, from correction collar to pure positive clicker. NOTHING worked as well as his training. We dropped the two high energy anxious babies off together for a day of intense training. The prices were amazing, and the results were even better. He sent us photos and video updates through the day that helped us understand what he was doing and how things worked with his training. Remy and Freya are much less anxious and behave a whole heck of a lot better now. And they are best friends with the cat to the point of grooming her and her grooming them. Is it still a work in progress with their anxiousness? Yes, but we actually feel like we can handle it.

Michael is the best behaviorist I have ever met. Hes very low-key and extremely aware of the subtleties of animal behavior. I have seen many trainers and he is by far the best.

Michael is amazing. In one session I saw immense improvement with my dog Harleys behavior. Michael taught Harley how to sit, lay down and walk properly on a leash. He demonstrated what to do and then my husband and I took turns practicing with Him. Harley used to bark uncontrollably while walking by dogs and now I can take him out for a walk by myself with confidence. Michael followed up later to see how things were going and offered to do a follow up session if needed. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs help with their dog. He was friendly and competent.

Peace of mind is not always easy to come by when leaving your precious fur babies at home in the care of someone other than yourself. I am a paranoid- lunatic of a Dog Mom. Like probably the Worst. And Im not understating that. Michael has walked, dog sat and trained all of my dogs and I trust him implicitly, which for me is a HUGE compliment. I trust NO ONE. We have senior dogs that need a LOT of patience, kindness and meds and he is the ultimate caretaker for them. I get photos, videos and updates often when we are away on a trip which I adore. It allows me to relax and enjoy my time away rather than worry every moment. He is incredibly responsive to my MANY text messages for proof of life pics and attentive to my high maintenance dogs needs.Upon our arrival home the house is always immaculate- something that is truly priceless after a long journey.Also We have a new addition- a 2 year old scrappy little fellow just rescued from a shelter who is unruly and very naughty. Michael has TAMED this wild beast. A task that I thought was impossible.I highly highly highly recommend this business for all of your doggy related needs. Michael is worth his weight in gold.Michael- I have been in LA for 12 years and not found a more responsible and reliable dog sitter/walker/trainer such as yourself. (And Ive tried them all) thank you for treating my babies as if they were your own!

Walking my 9 month doberman pup had become a dreadful experience every time. Constant pulling on his leash and walking pass other dogs was a nightmare. Michael is a true dog whisperer! In only one session to our home, he was able to transform our boy to stay by ourside and ignore the distractions around him. I am so amazed at his talent and professionalism. We will most definitely recommend him to anyone who needs guidance to achieving a well Behaved dog.

Mike is AMAZING with Dogs. There are lots of obedience trainers, agility trainers and behaviorists out there, but Mike has an amazing God given talent with dogs.Im shocked at how many people struggle all their lives with dogs with issues, when 1-2 sessions with Mike solves the problem(s).Dont hesitate. Take advantage of his amazing servives!

We have a older dog that we havent been able to stop from running out the front door. No matter what we did our dog would bolt to the front door. After plenty of near misses as she would run across the street. We were told about behaviorist for our dog. Not so convinced this would work we called up. Set up a appointment. So far pretty impressed. What I like is that we were made part of the correction process.

Michael is my favorite dog walker in my many years of being a dog mom! He’s a true dog whisperer. Very responsible, considerate, trustworthy, and he keeps me in the loop while he’s watching my dogs and he’s always there when I need him.

Coco Chanel (my Maltese-Poodle) loves to spend time with Michael - which is amazing because she usually doesnt confide in people especially other men.
