Introduction: I'm a dog behavior specialist, serving the greater Chicagoland area.
Mike has been working with dogs for over 5 years and has been the trainer for many dog daycares in the north and western suburbs, on top of donating free time to rehabilitating dogs at local rescues. Mike learned to train dogs while living in a pitbull rescue. Yes, he lived there!
Mike specializes in behavioral modification, from fearful to aggressive behavior, and everything in between.
Many of Mike's clients believe he stands out because of his incorporation of Reiki healing methods and taking the time to work with each person and each dog, developing a different lesson plan for each individual.
Mike's services include:
Walk&Train Program: For underexercised and hyper dogs that need a little more consistency, Mike comes out to the home 2-3x per week, working on behavior, obedience, and energy. At the end of the week, the family and Mike do their own private training sessions, so the owners can catch up.
Private Lessons: This is for owners who need a refresher, or for owners who are active with their dog and would prefer to do the homework themselves. Mike comes out for 1-3 hours and goes over every problem and doesn't leave until everyone feels comfortable with the information and progress.
Bad dogs gone good, and good dogs gone great.
