Bay Area Dog Training San Jose, California

I have had 5 dogs during the last many years and Mike has trained them all. He trains both the dog and the owner with techniques that are gentle yet effective. My dogs have learned to wait for permission to enter the house from outside and wait for permission to exit my car. This impresses all my friends and makes being around these pups a pleasure. I am so proud when they behave. I highly recommend Mike and his crew; they get 5 stars from me.

Mike’s personal training has made a huge difference with our dog, Goof. We have a big energetic doberman, and he was very stubborn and difficult to control. He’s so much better on a leash now, and much more responsive to us. He has stopped misbehaving around the house and chewing everything up, which has been a huge relief! Really appreciate Mike’s thoughtful and thorough approach to training, highly recommend him!

I have a very large (very sweet) puppy, but because of it's size it was going to be a nightmare as an adult if I couldn't get it's manners under control. I was so happy that Mike started the beginning level classes back up since the covid issue. I used him for my other dog 13 years ago and she is deaf but still going strong. The hand signals we learned were so helpful in now dealing with our older deaf dog. The classes are super productive and Mike really treats the dogs as individuals not a "one size fits all" kind of situation. I would highly recommend taking his class. We are actually going to take the next level because we had such a good time and want to learn more! A+ for Mike and his helper Emily!

We first startled going to BADT in 1995. All 5 of our dogs over the years have ended up very well behaved as a result. After the first dog, we realized it is mostly human training and all family members should participate. We have a new puppy coming and are going to go get our BADT trading refreshed.

We just completed level 1 group training with Mike and Emily. That are both so nice (to both the owners and the dogs!) and they really know their stuff!!! They made the best of everything in the midst of Covid and having to do these classes outdoors, and I am so thrilled we went with this training group. I was worried my dog would have a harder time because we rescued him as a 1 year old rather than getting him as a puppy, but Mike and Emily were always paying attention and would help the owners if any particular dogs were having a harder time. The difference in our dog (especially leash walking) is amazing and we can’t wait to start level 2 with BADT!

Great results if you do the homework ????

Perfect for a well behaved and we'll adjusted dog

Mike is the dog whisperer! Really helped us balance nurturing with limits and behaviorism

Cant thank Emily and Mike enough for helping us with our dog, Joey. He had leash issues and aggressive to dogs when we first got him. It was Emily and Mike that helped us improved Joey’s overall behavior. It was nice that we can go to public places and Joey will not nip anyone. I also like how Joey greets Emily and Mike. He really runs to them. Thank you for helping Joey! Although he only had a short life, it was a great one because you helped him on socialization. I will definitely be back in the future!

We really enjoyed the classes and our digs are better behaved!
