Less Stress, More Success!

Bringing home a new puppy? You're about to make a ton of great memories — and maybe a few messes along the way. Potty training, crate training, socialization, obedience... it's a lot.

​

That’s where Doglogics comes in. Mike’s puppy programs are designed to guide you through every step — from the first night home to a confident, well-behaved dog. We’ll cover crate training, leash skills, potty habits, social time, and how to handle all the typical chaos that comes with puppy life.

​

The goal? A dog who listens, a family that’s not overwhelmed, and a whole lot less stress along the way!
