Welcoming a new puppy into your life and lifestyle, is an amazing event -- and the start of making years of great memories.

​

But, like anything else, it comes with its share of challenges; there are days filled with greatness and craziness!

​

Mike's puppy programs are designed to work hand-in-hand with pet parents. Every client is afforded immediate access to him via your private group text -- available seven-days-a-week from 8am to 10pm. And it never goes away, so you can always ask a question.

​

Mike's award-winning 10-20-10 Potty Training Plan is unmatched in the industry.
