Had a FANTASTIC experience with Mr. Adam. My dog was scared of everything, not confident on walks, and in the house was manipulating me into giving her treats. Once I started working with Adam, a whole 180 has been taking effect. Within 4 meetings, my dog is confident on leash, Read More

Michael customized a specific program for 6 month old rescue and my family (two young kids 3,5 yo included) and set us up that we had tools even when he was not there. He made himself super accessible and worth every penny. Myself and my family recommend him highly.

We used Michael’s Pack to help train our puppy Zoey. When we first rescued Zoey, she was full of unbridled energy (to say the least) and we needed some guidance as to how to communicate effectively with her. We had 5 sessions with Adam and he was an absolute godsend. Read More

Michael trained my dog to behave in all the ways I needed him to. However, my very favorite part of Michael’s Pack is indoor doggie playtime. It’s for dogs weighing up to 35lbs, it’s supervised by a trainer, and it’s ‘almost’ year-round. When it’s too cold/rainy for my 10lb lil Read More

Thank you, Michael! At first, our puppy was so out of control, that we wondered whether we could even keep him. After 6 sessions with Michael training both our dog and us, we could not imagine our lives without Petey. His expertise, consistency, and patience helped us in addressing all Read More

Bella just finished puppy group class at Michael’s Pack Training Center. Michael was very knowledgeable and helpful. This class is very helpful for a puppy who needs to learn basic commands.
