What our Students are Saying...

"Mike's on-site, individual training
sessions worked wonders in helping our ten month old "rescue" dog
become more used to her new home and people. We highly
recommend Summit K-9 to all dog owners!"

"I have a 100 pound yellow
lab that is very hardheaded. My wife likes to take walks
with the
kids
during the week and wanted to take Max. He would constantly
pull on the lead, and my wife finally got to the point
where she wouldn't take the dog. I asked Mike about this
problem,
and he suggested the Gentle Leader head collar. Now my
wife or kids can walk Max, and he doesn't put pressure
on the
lead. It took approximately four hours for Max to pick
up that the gentle leader was tougher then he was. Thanks
for
your help."

"This wasn't a one-size-fits-all
approach. Mike seeks to understand each dog's specific personality.
The focus is to train the dogs to fit your household and
daily lives as a loving pet." |

"We were interested in a
private lesson because we just had a couple specific things
that we wanted to work on with our puppy, Gus, but
we had no idea how to go about it. Mike was a tremendous
help in
this area. He came to our house and started working with
Gus the minute he stepped in the door! We got some great
advice and training techniques to use that have been helping
us a lot. Gus is on his way to being a much better
behaved little guy. I'd recommend Mike to anyone!" |

"The puppy training was great.
We would recommend it to anyone. It helped Mimi and Misha become
better listeners and to just be more obedient, happy puppies!

"This is a very humane, safe
way to teach dogs the things to save their life, make them
obedient, and make them people friendly. It's a wonderful
program. Our dog Chance is learning
more than we thought he could. Summit gives us the right
tools to use and the paperwork to fall back on, so we can
continue training even after the lessons are completed." |

"Our family decided to try
the private lessons because we just adopted our adult dog
from the Animal Rescue League and felt that we needed a little
extra attention to be able to get the most out of the lessons.
The one-on-one time has really helped me to learn how to
teach our dog to become better behaved and a better family
member. Mike has been able to watch how he responds and has
really personalized each lesson to what we needed to work
on, even suggesting and loaning us videos that apply to what
we needed to know and having time to discuss the content!
We have started using a Gentle Leader, and it is amazing
how much better he is responding as I work on heeling and
other basic commands. Mike has had a very calm and caring
approach to training under all circumstances. I would recommend
his program to anyone!" |

"I was looking for a program
that would help my dog listen to the simple commands of sit,
stay and heel. Mike fitted Lily with
a Gentle Leader collar and the results were immediate! After
a few lessons my dog was listening to my commands, heeling
and sitting when told to do so. Mike's program also gave
me the skills to help socialize my dog to ensure proper behavior
around other animals or in public situations. I now have
the ability to take her around other animals and in large
social settings, having the confidence she will act accordingly.
This program is excellent for all types of dogs with different
types of personalities and abilities. I would recommend it
to anyone!" |

"I recently adopted a nine
month old Golden Retriever puppy with very little training.
Mike gave me excellent advice on selecting and fitting the
right training collar and how to use it correctly. The results
were amazing! In 15 minutes time, my dog was walking calmly
beside me and in a few short days was following basic commands.
Mike's training methods have been invaluable in turning a
rowdy dog into a well-mannered one. I would highly recommend
his services to any dog owner." |
