My dog Bandit and I really enjoyed our training and socialization sessions. It was very much needed. He did well and I did better than I had been. I’d still like to continue with some classes next year too.

We took our lab to a training class here around 20 years ago. Even back then, when harsh dominance-based training was common, they took a positive reinforcement approach. When we needed training for a new dog, we immediately thought of MDT and Michael Burkey. We’ve done two classes with them recently and will do more in the future. They do excellent training and work well with dogs and people. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I worked with Michael to help our half-shepherd be more obedient, less impulsive, and more responsive to us. We had cycled through several trainers when she was younger with little success and had frankly given up. Our dog is still the strong-willed and spunky girl that she’s always been but the difference in her behavioral range now is night and day and we are able to relax much more when she is around other people!

I recently completed an 8-week training course with Michigan dog training. My dog Willow has always been aggressive when near other dogs and people. During the course, she quickly adapted to encountering other dogs. I was hesitant on using the e-collar but found that it did not seem to hurt or bother her. Initially I thought the prices seemed high but seeing the results it is well worth it. Working with Michael Burkey and his team was a great experience. To actually see that my dog can be near other dogs without being over excited, barking and lunging makes me confident that she will eventually be able to interact with other dogs and even people. Thank you to Michael and his team at MDT for their help and guidance!

Michael and his team at Michigan Dog Training are top notch! Full of knowledge and insight into the proper training techniques needed for success. Our dog, Penelope completed the group training classes & it was amazing to watch her progress week to week. Training is an investment & booking with MDT you will not be disappointed!!! Highly recommend!!
