Mike is AMAZING!! We had an absolutely horrible situation occur with our dog and baby. We were devastated thinking we had no other choice but to rehome our dog.
We were referred to Mike through a friend and I couldn’t be more grateful! From our first conversation on the phone I could tell he understood the severity of our situation and had confidence in how to handle it. He came to our home and gave us SO many training techniques and cues to help us regain control. Our first session was a crash course of all the commands we need to work on. And later we worked further to better our dogs response to the commands and better our techniques of teaching him.
If you’re looking for a training for your pup, no matter the situation, look no further. Mike is incredible. We can’t wait to continue working with him!

"Couldn’t be happier with my decision to reach out to Mike for my 8 month old puppy. Mike is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, an excellent teacher, and a dog whisperer! Before training with Mike, I dreaded walks with my pup. Mike has completely transformed that feeling and I now look forward to long walks."

"My 4 month old puppy is now a well trained obedient, happy girl all because of Mike. We mastered sit, down, stay, come, off, walking, "place", leave it, drop it, and many many more in just 5 sessions!!!! He is incredible to work with - his professionalism, his expertise, and his passion for helping train your dog is truly remarkable. I will never go any where else."

"Mike is an incredible trainer. He is very thorough and not only does the work to train the dog's behavior but the owner's behavior as well. Mike is hands-on and genuinely knows what he is doing. My very stubborn dog was showing progress by the end of the first session."

Mike from One Companion is amazing. We adopted a shepherd mix at around 3 months old and her name is Abby. Although my husband and I had dogs growing up and had our own family dog with our son, we all decided to get Abby the best possible training to help walk her properly, and to learn all of the basic commands because she has a very high drive and lots of energy. At around 4 months old we started working with Mike and we accomplished our goals so quickly, only after a few sessions. My girl learned instantly with him and she walks right by my side and listens to all of my commands. I have never been so comfortable walking a dog! I let Mike know some of my concerns along the way and he put me at ease at all times. Abby has made so much progress and we will continue to use his techniques everyday to give Abby the best home possible. He is so thorough and professional and seems like a wonderful human being. We highly recommend him and Abby just loved him.

I reached out to Mike from One Companion Dog Training when I first got my puppy. He was too young to start, but Mike was still responsive and sent me over some puppy tips to start basic commands and obedience before we began formal training. My puppy Monty started with him as soon as we could because I am pregnant and I wanted to have a trained dog before baby comes. Mike kept that in mind and personalized my dogs training based on knowing that I will have a baby in the house. So we did baby noises, walked with a shopping cart (when in Lowe’s) and basic commands like leave it, sit, stay, etc. he also changed the way Monty walks- he walks perfectly now without pulling. I am confident that my dog is well trained to be around a baby! Mike is also responsive via text when not with Monty if I had little questions here and there. My pup has grown so much and loved sessions with Mike. I highly recommend his services for your dog- no matter the age!
