I learned more after attending his workshop than in the last three years
Michael taught and demonstrated so much more than dog handling. All of his lessons were explained clearly and concisely. I appreciated his direct and honest approach to teaching. I really enjoyed and took away so many life, business, and dog handling/education techniques and strategies that have already helped me improve my life. -Allyson Szpara
