"We were very pleased with the adult dog training class. The Better Animal Behavior Clinic made the classes simple to understand and fun. We were tought how to be effective trainers in our own home by integrating training with day to day activities. We would recommend the Better Animal Behavior Clinic to anyone who wants to learn how to correctly train their dog."

"The skills I learned at the Better Animal Behavior Clinic have been invaluable in Gracie's training. The techniques that I learned are simple to apply, and are easily incorporated into my everyday routine. I am constantly complemented on Gracie's behavior, and I credit all of our success to Mike, and our classes at the Better Animal Behavior Clinic."

Note from Michael: A dog's success also comes from the dog owner's training skills development and passion for training.
"Mike was great with our lab puppy. His approach was professional and kind. It was amazing how much our puppy improved at home with the suggested training drills at home. Thanks!"

We found the puppy class to be a great start for us with our new puppy Riley, a black lab. The Better Animal Behavior Clinic technique, tips and emphasis on consistency helped us to see the bigger picture of what we want our dog's behavior to be like. The classes were invaluable to us and we would recommend it to anyone that wants a well behaved dog. We learned how to incorporate training into our everyday life with our dog, during playtime, at meal times & anytime that you are interacting with our dog. We learned alot and are very glad we went to the classes. If you want to get a great start with your new puppy this is where you need to begin. You won't be sorry and your dog & you will both benefit!! It's a great feeling to have a well behaved dog!
Thanks for everything.

I would recommend this class because I see that it is important to have the skills to train your puppy. Before I attended the classes my puppy was uncontrollable and unsociable. Now that we have completed this class, my puppy has shown great improvement. It takes time and patients but it is well worth it. Most important, I feel I have learned not only the skills but the common mistakes that are used in training. I have learned to recognize the mistakes and correct them. Thank you for having us in your class.

"As a mother of three, it was important that our Willie be a well-socialized, easy-going pup. Your class was just what we needed so he could learn basic commands and house manners as well. Thanks for all your help and for letting my daughters attend too."

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? We have had 7 dogs over the 29 years but we still learned several new valuable techniques from your classes. Some concepts were a refresher, some were new approaches and we also learned how to eliminate unwanted "problem" behaviors. Since completing your class, Heineken is a new boy, much better controlled and overall, a better companion. Thanks for all your help,

We just want to thank you for training both our golden retriever, Pansy, and both of us. Pansy loved the training sessions. She bonded with you immediately; I think probably because of your firmness and gentleness. She seemed to know that you were in charge and she wanted to do what you wanted her to do.
Walt and I have more trouble unlearning some of our bad habits, but Pansy is now responding to us. And what I particularly like is that Pansy loves obeying the commands--she is so proud of herself!
You made a difference in life with our dog.
Sincerely,
Walt and Margaret E
