About Michael

Michael always had the heart of a teacher. "I decided to become a dog trainer because I love teaching, and this profession allows me to teach both dogs and people."

Academic Background

He graduated from the Master Trainer Course (275 unit hours) at the National K-9 School for Dog Trainers.

Michael obtained a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Miami, FL, with a minor in Spanish. He has also studied abroad in Mexico and Chile, and speaks Portuguese.

Philosophy on Dog Training

Michael feels that the most important aspect of dog training is the capability to adapt the training approach to each individual dog’s personality and the goals of the owner.

Commitment to Clients

He feels the most important thing about owning a company is making sure that every single person (and dog!) is utterly thrilled with the training results and training experience.
