Happy Clients

Mike

Just wanted to let you know how Sasha was doing. Before you came Sasha had attacked several dogs and her dog aggression had become a serious problem. I was no longer able to take her on walks. I was amazed at how you were able to get her to ignore the neighbor's two dogs at that first visit. We've been following through on all your advice and Sasha has improved so much I am now back to our daily walks. Thank you so much.

I have to say I was skeptical when you said that perhaps one session would be all it would take to evaluate our German Shepherd Mazie and (maybe) put her on the right path. Mazie is eight years old and we had already seen three trainers. Our vet had put her on several medications including Prozac and Phenobarbitol. None of the other training had worked nor had the medications. We were at the end of our rope when I called you. You were appropriately cautious in not promising a cure, but we are shocked at the change in Mazie. She is no longer on any medications and her aggression at the door and on walks towards strangers is at least 98% better. I just wanted to thank you for what you did in 3 hours that no one else had been able to do. Life here is so much better for all of us.

When I first called Michael I was so depressed and scared that my beloved dog was so leash aggressive and after spending thousands of dollars on training nothing had worked. My dog is the most loving and fun pup off the leash but when we would go out for a walk I felt like I was walking an untamed tiger.(mind you my dog is only 20 pounds). I was running out of hope and the walks became 5 minutes whereas I use to take him on a bunch of long walks every day.

I didn’t know what to do anymore, until we met Michael. It has only been a little over one week and with the techniques Michael taught me, my dog is completely different, I am completely different. Michael is a miracle. At first I thought oh I’m going to call him all the time with questions, however that wasn’t the case at all, and I only call him to tell him how amazing my dog is doing.

I literally saw a difference after the first day!! I finally feel like I have control over my dog on walks and we are already back to our long ones. Also overall his techniques have changed the behavior of my dog!! It’s only been a short while and I can only imagine how amazing it’s going to be in 3 months.

How do I thank someone who changed our lives for the better?!?

Michael, just wanted to drop a note about Tranya, our pit mix rescue dog that you helped us with a month ago. We wee struggling with our daily walks and she had snapped at several strangers during those walks. After one session it was like walking a new dog. She's great on the leash and much less fearful. I fact we noticed an overall calmness that was missing before. We waited a month so we could let you know how things were going in the 'long term'. Thank you, thank you for letting our dog's sweet personality shine through.

Sincerely, Gene and Alma Simakowicz

We rescued Tugger, our male Australian Cattledog when he was 18 months old. He seemed fine and socialized. But eight months after he joined our family he seriously bit an elderly neighbor. From there on the problem just got worse.

We had to either put him outside or locked in a room when people came over. His behavior whenever someone came to the door was best described as a rage that no one could get through. His behavior at the vet was also a nightmare. He had to be muzzled, restrained, and at times sedated.

 Finally, at age 9, I connected with Michael.  Michael's successful intervention with us AND Tugger dramatically changed out lives for the better. We can now have people over and have Tugger safely interact with them. The change has allowed us and Tugger to have a far better life. He is much calmer and happier. His behavior at the vet so completely changed that our vet, Dr Killcullen, was simply amazed.

 Michael patiently works with the dog and also the owners, who, as someone who does dog rescue (ACDRA.Org), I know the owner is often a large part of the problem.

I strongly recommend Michael as a trainer who is experienced, patient, and very calm even in the most challenging of situations.

Hi Michael

I cannot thank you enough for your help with Rocky our adopted Rottweiler mix. For two years we struggled with his increasing aggression toward people. We tried several other trainers and spent a lot of money with no real change. In fact he just seemed to get worse. By the time we called you we had resorted to locking him in a bedroom before any expected arrivals at our door. Of course we could not do that for deliveries and the mail so we had gotten used to his extreme behavior at those times. Usually we would just yell through the door to leave the package. Then our friends told us about trying you so we called. And we are more than happy we did. We really were looking at an unpleasant end for our Rocky who was such a love with us.

 What you told us made so much sense, and yet we had never been so educated by the others, even our veterinarian. What was more amazing was that after just two hours you were able to knock on the door with Rocky present and not charging and barking. It was amazing.

We know we have to give it more time and that this will be an ongoing change but after two weeks we have seen a miraculous change in Rocky and in our lives. You gave us hope and we all thank you.
