We were in a desperate place with helping our rescue dog. He needed a reset from living on the streets, where he was his own boss in his fight to survive. Mike gave us the structure to gently but assuredly step in as the leader of his pack, a place where he relaxed into the safety of our confidence that we could protect him, rather than he feel like he needed to protect us. Mike’s training was just as much about training us as it was our boy. I’m now a confident dog parent and understand what was driving our boy’s reactions to other dogs and some people. Did all of our dog’s instincts to protect us go away, no, and neither should they have. The difference is now, thanks to Mike, we know how to communicate to him our boundaries for his behavior and, like a child, he feels safe under our rules. My journey with Mike was moving. His compassion, tempered with his gently firm presence, was precisely what we needed. Thank you, Coach Mike. This is your calling.
