With over 25 years of experience living, handling, and training man's best friend, I strongly believe that there is no task too difficult to teach a dog. It simply requires time, patience, and the ability to break down the objective into manageable steps, without resorting to cruel or harsh techniques. My affinity for dogs is unwavering, and I derive great satisfaction from witnessing owners' astonishment when they realize their pets are capable of more than they imagined - achieved through positive methods. The endless possibilities of what dogs can accomplish is a consistent source of joy for me, and being able to share that joy with others is the ultimate reward.

In addition to being a remarkable person, Mike is an exceptional dog trainer. With his extensive experience and unlimited patience, he is capable of working with any type of dog. Our dog Whiskey was experiencing severe separation anxiety, making it impossible for us to leave the house for more than a few moments. However, after just one session with Mike, we observed a significant difference in Whiskey's behavior. He was happy to enter his crate and appeared to be at ease while inside. Mike also provided us with valuable tips and tricks that not only benefited our dog but also aided in our understanding of him. We can now enjoy extended periods of time without Whiskey barking, and we continue to progress each day. We highly recommend Mike as a one-of-a-kind trainer and will happily continue to work with him.

With his professionalism and extensive expertise with canines, Mike managed to charm even my anxious pup. I am convinced that for our upcoming training sessions, we will rehire his services.

Mike's arrival in the area is fantastic news! He's an excellent trainer, and we're delighted to have found someone who provides in-home training. Teaching our dogs good behavior at home is crucial, and we're grateful to have Mike's gentle and compassionate approach. It's evident that he loves our dogs, and his calm demeanor makes training sessions a pleasure. He's even doing an exceptional job of training us humans!

I am an owner of a 5-month old Golden Doodle pup who seemed to ignore my commands despite attending group classes. With each passing day, she is growing bigger and stronger and could easily pull me around. I was afraid that my puppy would become the type of dog that people avoid on sight.
My husband and I decided to seek one-on-one training from Mike, and we were fortunate to have two productive sessions before he relocated. Mike observed us working with our dog and suggested modifications to our technique, which yielded immediate results. Now, Mike has equipped us with the tools for success!

Frayed Hat Dog Training's Mike possesses vast expertise in dog training. He thoroughly studied my pug, Chai's, innate behavior and utilizes multiple training techniques as we advance. As expected, the pet parent also needs to undergo extensive training. I have acquired a lot of knowledge, but achieving a contented and disciplined pug is definitely worthwhile. Working with Mike is delightful, and Chai is steadily transforming into a well-behaved dog!
