About Michael's Pack
It is our firm belief that dogs learn from being motivated to learn. All of Michael’s Pack trainers are certified professional dog trainers, schooled in positive reinforcement training. Some feel that you can get a dog to “listen” by using heavy handed techniques but that’s not us. We want you to have a happy dog and a wonderful relationship with your pet.
To quote Dr. Ian Dunbar, a noted animal behaviorist:
“It’s a scientific fact that reward-training is quicker and more effective than punishment training. And when you screw up with treats, the dog loves you. You screw up with a shock collar, you’ve done a lot of damage, the dog doesn’t like you very much, and he doesn’t like training.”
Communication is the key.
Michael’s Pack offers private in home dog training in New Jersey and New York, as well as private and group training sessions at our facility in Mineola, Long Island.
Our Dog Training Philosophy
Relationship-based dog training creates trust and mutual respect. The team at Michael’s Pack uses only humane, positive-reinforcement training methods. No fear-based training. We focus on not only training your dog but teaching owners how to best communicate with their dogs and help them overcome common behavioral issues. Communication is the key.

Michael's Pack Dog Training Services
Getting a new dog can be an adventure. No two dogs have the same temperament, and behavioral issues that are present in one dog may not be an issue in another. At Michael’s Pack, our trainers are skilled in dealing with a wide variety of common behavioral issues in dogs. View all of our dog training services.
Puppy Training
The best time to train your dog is when they are a puppy, because they have no learned behaviors.
In Home Dog Training
Teaching a dog in their primary environment is beneficial to learning important behaviors.

Barking is a natural response for a dog, but it is possible to train your dog to stop barking in certain situations.
Puppy Chewing
We can show your puppy what is acceptable and what is off limits when it comes to chewing and/or nipping.
