About
I have been working with dogs for more than 15 years. I have worked with several pro trainers learning from the best, and still continue to work with some of the best. I have several videos of my work to show that I know what I'm doing. Your dog will exceed in my program. The obedience your dog will receive will be really sharp I assure you will be more than content. Another great thing is if you do our board and train your dog is eligible for FREE re-fresher lessons for the life of the dog.
The most satisfying part about what I do is making communication easy for both client and dog. Just imagine your dog being an absolute joy to be around. Your friends, family and neighbors telling you that your dog is the most well behaved dog ever. Imagine your dog listening to you every time. not jumping on anyone, always walking right next to you on walks, not bolting through doors, not counter surfing , not chewing or excessive barking.

These guys know their stuff! We did the basic training. It was weird being without him for 2 weeks but they sent videos every few days so we could see progress. Your dog will still require practicing with You as the handler. I am very happy with our "new" dog and will likely will return for off-leash training.

Michael is the dog whisperer! I rescued Julie from the Houston SPCA on July 22nd after getting her home we quickly looked at each other like what have we gotten ourselves into? This pound puppy is cra cra! She was an owner surrender then adopted and quickly returned to the shelter because “she was to hyper” my husband and I made a promise to Julie that she was a good girl deep inside and we wouldn’t give up until we helped her find that good dog behavior we both just knew she had it in her! We took her to the vet and put her on m do for her sever anxiety issue that helped she calmed down but she was still clueless to any basic commands. I decided to look for a trainer to work with Julie for the behavior and anxiety issues we were seeing. I found Stealth K9 and contacted him asking about the cost for board and train. His quote was hundreds cheaper than the rest and his reviews were great he was very responsive I hired him right away! He came and picked Julie up the same day Within 4 hours of reaching out for help. When he arrived Julie did not like him at all because she didn’t know him, she actually bit him out of fear within minutes of him meeting her, that didn’t phase him at all! He was persistent with her and before he even left the house with Julie he had her healing next to him on the leash! He was there for less than 30 min. My husband was blown away. I get daily updates on Julie but after only 3 days of training he sent me a video of Julie’s progress I was in shock completely blown away. Julie loved him she was 100% fixated on him! She was already doing sit stay, heal sit and she was doing it with major noise distractions. He was using positive reinforcement by pet and praise no treats I love this style! I want my dog to perform her commands all the time not only for food. Michael and his team of trainers work day and night training the dogs. Julie has had multiple different trainers all day long so she is taught to take the commands from everyone not just 1 person she has shown no further aggression not even with new trainers she hasn’t worked with yet or doesn’t know. There aren’t enough words to express how great everyone has been with my Julie girl! I am so grateful that I found Michael and he is making it possible for me to fulfill our promise to Julie that we will never give up on her or take her back to the shelter we promised to get her the help she needs and we absolutely have.

Just got my girl Beauty back from them. My dog has never behaved so well, staff members are professional and the owner is engaged, informed and offers best quality by far for the $. I am going to bring my pup back in a month for the protection training at another great value. Thanks again guys!

They had my Boxer and I thought she will never be a good behavior, and he did it, she is very calm, obedient, happy dog. I am very happy and satisfied with every penny I paid to Stealth k9, they are very professional and very clear explaining how to continued the training at home.
