Testimonials
"It’s been wonderful working with Michael to help our 5-year old rescue Ruby gain her confidence back! After spending 3 years of her life in a backyard, we are working with Michael to teach Ruby to walk on a lead again.
From the moment Michael walked in, Ruby has trusted him. We have had a 1 on 1 session with him and are currently in his basic obedience class. Ruby has made such strides already under Michael’s expert guidance! We will keep putting in the work so Ruby can be her best, confident self."

"Michael came to our home for the first training session, which made the experience personalised and convenient. Thanks to his guidance, Reggie quickly learned where and when to do his business, reducing accidents at home significantly. He also provided us with practical strategies to manage Reggie's playful biting and chewing, helping us redirect his energy positively. Walking on a leash became a pleasant experience as Reggie learnt to follow commands and walk calmly by our side.
​
We also just completed the Puppy Training course which has really cemented all the needed basic training for Reggie - would highly recommend both one-on-one training and completing a class for the best possible start to your puppy's life."

"Hey Michael, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for today's training session!
​
My brother Liam and I just took Luna for a 20-minute walk around Richmond with the training collar and leash and it was the best walk we've ever had with her. She was so calm and stopped everytime we stopped. The treat-to-shoulder technique really works wonders - she responded to our commands and seemed so happy on the walk.
​
We're incredibly grateful for your expertise and can't wait for future training sessions! All I've wanted is for her to be a happy, well-trained dog and we're well on the way - you really are the dog whisperer!"

"Michael came into my life via glowing reviews on the 3121 Facebook group and I could not be more grateful. I have a beautiful little chihuahua Norman, but over the years the chihuahua attitude has been growing to the point he became difficult to walk as was so reactive with other dogs. Whilst Norman is a hard task master, I can see enormous improvements in his attitude and love watching his close friendship with Michael."

"I can't recommend Michael enough. His expertise and genuine care has enhanced our relationship with Hector. Thanks to his guidance, our boy is on his way to overcome on-leash issues and jumping behaviors, with a structured plan and guidelines for us both. You can tell that Michael has a love and understanding of dogs that makes training enjoyable and gets results. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a better bond with their dog.

“We have been working with Mike for the last 6 months for both dog walking and dog training for our two Spoodles. Mike has guided us through our training sessions with tips and tricks and helped out with both our dogs especially our 11-month-old, who is full of energy. Following Mike’s advice we have been able to implement strategies and seen a massive improvement in our dogs behaviour.
Our dogs also LOVE their walks with Michael. They are always very, very excited to see him when they are picked up for their walks and they always come back happy and tired. We have also noticed a massive improvement in their loose leash walking since they started their weekly walks with him.
Along with his services, Michael is an all-round great guy, down to earth and reliable - we couldn’t recommend his services more!"
