Introduction: I truly am passionate about what I do and I'm able to connect with the dog and understand their body language. I give voices to the ones who don't speak. I am able to customize training to each and every dog in my hand because like humans not everyone learns the same.
I love the ability that I have to connect with the dogs and be their voice when they can't be heard. Getting a sense of accomplishment when a family sees their fur kids can be model citizens.

I would recommend Mike to anyone I know with a dog that needs obedience training. Go ahead and disregard any other trainer on here. Especially the e collar training ones. Contact Mike. I’m convinced he’s a dog whisperer lol. Okay in all seriousness this was the best investment I’ve made in a long time. I have a 5 month old Cane Corso mix his name is Diesel. I got him for my anxiety and he definitely ended up getting anxiety. Diesel would break out of his kennel and tear things up. He’d see someone else and take off in a full sprint. Even worse he was becoming territorial over me. Im glad my husband talked me into board training him. Better yet im happy I chose Voraussehen Kennels. Mike is an amazing trainer Diesel took to him well also. I was not expecting that considering he’s not a huge fan of other men. Mike allowed me to visit once a week. I only went 1 time in the three weeks Diesel was there to visit. Seeing Diesel interact with Mike put my mind at ease. He was obviously in great hands. I figured let me not hover and allow Mike to do what he does best. Which I’m glad I did. When I picked up Diesel Mike spent about an hour going over what Diesel had learned all while Mike taught me how to correct certain behaviors. Naturally Diesel listened to Mike more considering he was the one teaching him. Now that Diesel had an idea of what to do. It was my job to learn and enforce it at home also. Once I got home it took about 30 minutes or so for Diesel to readjust. REPETITION! Once we settled we went out for a walk. I was ready to get dragged. My neighbor instantly complimented how great Diesel walked on leash. A dog lunged at Diesel and he couldn’t have even cared less about the other dog. Instead he made eye contact with me waiting on me to give him his next command. If you are looking for a trainer Mike is your guy. But be ready to put in work too. Understand this is a team effort. Mike did all of the hard work it’s your job to keep up with it. If you are lazy and don’t keep up with it well you lost your money and that’s definitely your own fault. Be ready for constructive criticism Mike is very blunt in the most respectful way but he knows exactly what he’s talking about. . He understands not everyone knows what they may be doing wrong and is more then willing to help you understand. He will analyze you when he first meets you and your dog. From that point he knows exactly what to fix. So if he needs to correct you take it and run with it. Trust me you won’t regret board training with him. I will be boarding Diesel with Mike if I ever go on vacation I know Diesel wouldn’t mind either. If you need to train your dog stop wasting time looking elsewhere. Go ahead and message Voraussehen Kennels I promise you won’t regret it. Your dog will thank you.

This place was a life saver for my husky and I. His behavior had gotten so out of control. He was an escape artist, stubborn, aggressive with a high anxiety level. Basically my 2 year old pup was controlling me. I was blown away with his training. He is now such a pleasure to take on leash, does not dart out the front door, able to put him in the crate when we leave for work. These guys took the time and the understanding of my dog's intelligence and modified my dogs behavior. They helped trained me on how to work with him and to keep this training on going at home. I am forever grateful and so glad I found them. They really do love dogs and know their stuff. When school was over I picked up my dog who had been bathed and manicured. My dog was so happy to see us but you can tell he was well taken care of and loved by Mike and Starla. If your debating about doing this don't. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WHATSOEVER. This was so worth the investment. I also now have a safe place for my dog to be boarded if/when we go out of town. They took care of my dog like he was their own!!!!!

I am blown away by the changes I’ve seen after getting my Husky trained. I feel I have a completely new dog. Voraussehen Kennels completely exceeded any expectations I had. I never thought my pet would be ringing a bell to let me know she wants to go out. My wild dog is now a well behaved pet

I cannot stress enough how great our this training was with our pup. Before, our dog would pull on the leash and would not listen to commands.
Now, our pup is the same dog but just more disciplined. She sits, lays down, walks correctly on the leash, and even rings her bell when she needs to go outside. This investment was so worth it. Make sure you continue the training at home. We practice with her everyday to ensure that she is retaining what she Learned.

Mike and Starla were amazing with our 4 month old who is a half Great Pyrenees and half Anatolian Shepard. We did the 4 week training program. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsive. The value of what they provide is also great. They post pictures and videos too which is so awesome to see progress, and they welcome you to visit weekly which some programs don’t allow. I very much recommend them and look forward to boarding our dog there when we travel!
