LA Dog Behaviorist Los Angeles, California

Michael is a great dog trainer. He gave us hope with our dog Jarvis.

We have used Michael for a few months and he has been nothing but superb. His expert training has helped our 10 month lab consistently behave during our walks. He used to pull a great deal but now after a few short sessions he is very manageable. Michael has gone out of his way for us in many different areas and is very accommodating to our needs and patient with Toby our dog. We can count on Michael to always be available if we need him for a quick text or phone call. So glad we have him to lean on.

Michael has been walking, training, and boarding my large dog Alfie for a few years now. Always updates, reliable, and available. Look no further!

My pandemic rescue pup really needed some help socializing with other humans and dogs. Michael has helped Mugsy be more comfortable and well behaved in a variety of situations. Mugsy still loves seeing Michael, he has made such a huge impact on our quality of life, we'll be forever grateful.

Michael was really great with our dog Yuzu. He gave us frequent updates throughout the day and we've noticed positive changes since the training day. I highly recommend him!

He does pure magic. My aussies were horrid. They fed off each other's anxiousness :(. Like pulled my back out on a walk because they randomly lunged at a noise. And they grew up with a different cat and we got a new cat and we were legitimatly afraid for the new cat so she couldn't sleep with us because one aussie was so bad with her sudden movements. We tried multiple different training types with them, from correction collar to pure positive clicker. NOTHING worked as well as his training. We dropped the two high energy anxious babies off together for a day of intense training. The prices were amazing, and the results were even better. He sent us photos and video updates through the day that helped us understand what he was doing and how things worked with his training. Remy and Freya are much less anxious and behave a whole heck of a lot better now. And they are best friends with the cat to the point of grooming her and her grooming them. Is it still a work in progress with their anxiousness? Yes, but we actually feel like we can handle it.

Michael is the best behaviorist I have ever met. He's very low-key and extremely aware of the subtleties of animal behavior. I have seen many trainers and he is by far the best.

Dog Behaviorsist is short for Amazing Dog Miracle Worker. Michael is so patient and kind with the dogs and he really knows his stuff.

Michael is my favorite dog walker in my many years of being a dog mom! He’s a true dog whisperer. Very responsible, considerate, trustworthy, and he keeps me in the loop while he’s watching my dogs and he’s always there when I need him.

Walking my 9 month doberman pup had become a dreadful experience every time. Constant pulling on his leash and walking pass other dogs was a nightmare. Michael is a true dog whisperer! In only one session to our home, he was able to …

Michael is great with dogs, my pup was trained and was taken care of so well. He is amazing!

Peace of mind is not always easy to come by when leaving your precious fur babies at home in the care of someone other than yourself. I am a paranoid- lunatic of a Dog Mom. Like probably the Worst. And I'm not understating that. Michael has walked, dog sat and trained all of my dogs and I trust him implicitly, which for me is a HUGE compliment. I trust NO ONE. We have senior dogs that need a LOT of patience, kindness and meds and he is the ultimate caretaker for them. I get photos, videos and updates often when we are away on a trip which I adore. It allows me to relax and enjoy my time away rather than worry every moment. He is incredibly responsive to my MANY text messages for "proof of life" pics and attentive to my high maintenance dogs' needs. Upon our arrival home the house is always immaculate- something that is truly priceless after a long journey. Also We have a new addition- a 2 year old scrappy little fellow just rescued from a shelter who is unruly and very naughty. Michael has TAMED this wild beast. A task that I thought was impossible. I highly highly highly recommend this business for all of your doggy related needs. Michael is worth his weight in gold. Michael- I have been in LA for 12 years and not found a more responsible and reliable dog sitter/walker/trainer such as yourself. (And I've tried them all) thank you for treating my babies as if they were your own!

Mike is AMAZING with Dogs. There are lots of obedience trainers, agility trainers and behaviorists out there, but Mike has an amazing God given talent with dogs. …

Michael is a cool guy and great with dogs! :D

We have a older dog that we haven't been able to stop from running out the front door. No matter what we did our dog would bolt to the front door. After plenty of near misses as she would run across the street. We were told about …

Coco Chanel (my Maltese-Poodle) loves to spend time with Michael - which is amazing because she usually doesn't confide in people especially other men.

Michael is amazing. In one session I saw immense improvement with my dog Harley's behavior. Michael taught Harley how to sit, lay down and walk properly on a leash. He demonstrated what to do and then my husband and I took turns practicing with Him. Harley used to bark uncontrollably while walking by dogs and now I can take him out for a walk by myself with confidence. Michael followed up later to see how things were going and offered to do a follow up session if needed. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs help with their dog. He was friendly and competent.
