    We reached out to Mark to help with our 1.5 year old male rottweiler, Beau. At about a year old, he started becoming reactive to dogs he doesn't know on walks, in the car, and looking out the window of the house. It made walks more stressful and having to keep the window blinds down during the day. It has been about a week since our initial session with Mark and Beau has been a different dog outside. On walks, he is responsive and engaged with us when asked, and we have been able to walk by new dogs without a reaction. Another huge win for us was Beau making a good choice (on his own!) not to react at a dog he would normally bark at passing by our house. We are so grateful for Mark's help, his experience, and being able to communicate with our dog effectively. Would definitely recommend Mark if you need help with your dog!

    Photo of Moose First session went very well with John. We have the tools to help our rescue dog. Future lessons will hopefully help the dog and his behaviors even more but we saw a considerable difference after the first lesson.

    I had a fantastic training session with Nicole and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She helped me focus on attentiveness training with my dog and gave thoughtful, constructive feedback on how I’ve been guiding and correcting behavior. Her insights on strengthening my leadership were especially valuable — they gave me a clearer sense of how to build a more confident and responsive relationship with my dog.
    Nicole took the time to understand my dog’s history, which really helped put some of the behavioral challenges into context. Her ability to tailor the training to our unique situation made all the difference. The guidance she provided was clear, actionable, and supportive. I left the session with specific things to work on before our next meeting, and I saw immediate improvements in my dog’s behavior.
    What stands out most is Nicole’s communication — she’s thorough, encouraging, and follows up after sessions, which helps tremendously in staying on track. I truly appreciate the support she provides and am excited to continue working and learning with her. Highly recommend!

    Trainer Note:
    Thank you, Jessica, for the amazing review! It is a pleasure to be able to help you and Rio. Though I didn't get to meet him as a puppy, since he trained with a colleague in Florida 2 years ago, I can see he has grown into being a sweet, responsive adult dog. And I'm glad that our Lifetime Guarantee of Support was in place to help you guys get the support you needed after the move! Look forward to continuing to see his progress!

    Mike came over this morning, and it was life changing. Emma has been impossible on walks recently and has been reacting to other dogs. Barking, pulling, almost making me fall over. Walking became very stressful instead of relaxing and enjoyable. It felt like a chore. She is also hyperactive at times, and when she's triggered, she jumps, flings herself at me, etc. Mike taught me techniques that helped calm her hyperactivity. He showed me effective leadership skills (which I need to practice daily to reinforce). Within half an hour, she did not get triggered by knocking, the bell, me walking into another room, etc. She clearly wants a better leader, and Mike gave me the tools.

    Towards the end of the lesson, we were doing exercises and training outside. He had his dogs in the car. I was anxious and nervous because I know how she has been. I was shocked! She ignored the other dog and kept walking calmly. Within minutes, Mike was walking the two of them together!

    I have his phone number saved as, "Michael Dog Whisperer," for a reason! I highly recommend his services.

    Photo of Cooper Nicole has been amazing with helping us new dog parents navigate our puppy. The short, direct exercises she has shown us have been extremely effective in training our puppy and provide more sanity in our lives. Nicole is kind and caring and extremely knowledgeable about dog training. We could not be happier with our experience with her. Thank you, Nicole!

    Karen was wonderful, kind and thorough. She had our girls calm and immediately stopping barking. Within a few minutes she taught them (and us how to teach them) how to wait when we open a door and only come through it when given the okay. They don't pull on leashes. No more jumping. We are super happy with her training and she has been very diligent about check ins. I love knowing I can lean on her when needed

    Sharon can teach an old dog, new tricks! I just moved to Florida and my poor rescue 11-year-old Shih-Tzu was struggling. Sharon responded to my inquiry and fit me into her schedule right away. She spent three hours with me and I couldn’t believe how fast her dog-friendly training improved his behaviors. She is so experienced and amazing with dogs, truly speaking their language. He had immediate improvements in reducing fear, reactivity, barking and separation anxiety. I highly recommend Sharon for all dogs even older ones. Thank you Sharon!
