Michael-


of our dog leaving for three weeks (“Empty Nest” syndrome
& all), we were tired of being pulled around the yard. At six months
old, our dog was as heavy as our eight year old son, and a strong
willed and not very well trained nipper/biter!
Moreover, Michael gave Paco the foundation training to enable him to build the confidence he needed to be more calm and relaxed and to be a better canine good citizen. Literally, within five lessons, the household went from one of an occasionally out of control Paco and snarling dogs to one of happy playful ones. Paco is now well behaved and happy and Reilly is once again content. I, in turn, am again the alpha. Both dogs look to me as the one in charge. Michael had a wonderful way with the dogs; they truly responded to her. She was also very helpful and tactful when teaching me what I needed to succeed. Our home is so much more relaxed now. Michael's assistance has made such a difference in the fundamental pet/owner relationships here--something that was never achieved even by the earlier successful completion of two Puppy Manners Classes.

trainer, I read numerous books ranging from dog psychology, dog
behavior and books on living with difficult dogs. I also attended many
mini seminars on over-reactive dogs.



"Michael,
MacArthur
is like a new companion. We walk
in the hall and play a lot of ball. He obeys and is much more
cooperative....
"Our family recently adopted a 3 year old German Shepherd Dog that had
never been around children and had some aggression problems with the
current owners' other dog. The person who inspected our home prior to
the adoption highly recommended DC Metro K9. We contacted
DC Metro K9 and Michael came and evaluated the dog and gave us a good
recommendation. I was very impressed with her ability to read the dog
and her understanding of canine behavior. She also spent a lot of time
explaining the different types of training and how to achieve the best
results. The end result was a great match between the dog and our
family.
