Standout Quotes:

“I want people to have nice and well-rounded dogs. That’s the type of training that I want, like a companion dog.” [Mike]
“It’s amazing to see dogs get along well. It’s all about monitoring, keeping the adrenaline level to a nice even keel, and letting them run, play, and have fun.” [Mike]
“I like to put myself out there and ensure people know what they’re in for. There are levels of expectations when you train a dog, and if they understand that, they get a better result coming out.” [Mike]

Key Takeaways:

Mike is not a competitive trainer. He trains nice and well-rounded dogs like a companion dog.
As long as dogs are monitored and letting them have their fun, they get along with other dogs well.
Mike wants people to know what they are getting themselves into before asking him to train their dogs. Understanding that allows Mike to train them with better results.
