Jack just spent 14 days with Mike and his staff. Can't say enough good things about it! Jack gives you four paws up. Thank you!

MDT is awesome! I'm not exactly close to Plymouth but I went because they were open late and it was very easy to work around my schedule. Now that I have gone to just one class I cannot say enough great things! Before going to MDT I called around to other dog training facilities and at all I got the impression that I was just another number ($$) to them. The trainers at MDT were not like that at all. They were very knowledgeable and were great with me and my dog (9 month old German mix). I will highly recommend them to anyone I know!

My dog made such great progress in just 4 classes using the remote! It is so nice to be able to walk with her at my side and not pulling me along.

Training with MDT has been an awesome experience, both for our puppy and for us! We've notice such an improvement in our German Shepherd's behavior, and he only continues to get better. Not only that, he loves to go to class! The Day Camp experience was a perfect fit for our needs, and the additional Remote Training class was very helpful in training us to make sure we are doing everything right so we don't undo all the wonderful training they received in camp. I highly recommend MDT!

I have been training with Michael Burkey of Michigan Dog Trainer for over 3 years now. I have taken classes for remote collar training, rally-O, Canine tricks, Puppy socialization/obedience and nosework. In my years of training with Mr. Burkey, I have enjoyed learning different methods of training which has allowed each of my dogs to excel in all areas. I highly recommend Michigan Dog Trainer for those seeking knowledgeable, enthusiastic and compassionate dog training.

YP it seems MDT has been targeted by someone or a group that is saying false things about Mr. Burkey and his company. To anyone looking to train their dog don't believe Tom C or Sara P's reviews - I have worked along side MDT at several workshops/events and as a fellow trainer I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I recently discover Michael Burkey and Michigan Dog Trainer. As a trainer myself, it is sometimes hard to find someone to work with, but I have found Michael to be kind, professional, and a talented trainer, easily switching techniques depending on each dogs individual personality. I have taken both group and private classes and have been impressed with Michael, his staff, and his facility. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Michigan Dog Trainer. After just 4 lessons with Michael Burkey our hyper, out of control 1 year old golden retriever became our dream dog. She is now calm and well adjusted. She is so happy to be able to enjoy more walks since she no longer pulls on her leash, she does great off leash and we can take her to the park or on hikes in the woods without worrying that she will take off. She comes when called, stays when told, no longer jumps on people. She has a better life with more freedom thanks to Michael Burkey.

Wonderful Training Experience

We have been training with MDT for almost 18 years now and have had great success with our dogs in obedience, conformation, as well as receiving trick dog titles! Mr. Burkey is an excellent trainer with a great program to teach you and your pet. Thank you Mr. Burkey for your years of helping us to teach our dogs to be better family members!

Since my first impression of Michael, I have been very impressed and can see his genuine passion and love for helping dogs become the best they can be. As a fellow dog trainer, I can tell you that Michigan Dog Trainer is a company you can trust to give you and your dog the best attention, care, and training you deserve. I'm proud to be your friend and fellow colleague.

Looking for trainers for my highly reactive Belgian Malinois I came across Michigan Dog Trainer and Michael Burkey via an internet search. We progressed from Feisty Fido to Canine Good Citizen about 6 months time - something I never dreamed would have been possible prior to training at MDT. Highly recommend MDT and all the training programs they offer.

Our family pet, a Standard Poodle named Oakley, became a Diabetic Alert Service Dog with the aid of the wonderful staff at Michigan Dog Training. I'm grateful for Michael and Wendy, and all the staff there who taught our dog how to detect hypoglycemia before it becomes a medical emergency. During our training journey, everyone was supportive, and kind, and encouraging -- true professionals.

My dog now has a life-saving skill, and I have Michigan Dog Training to thank for it.

As a fellow dog trainer, I am impressed by Michael's skill, knowledge and compassion. The dogs he works with make remarkable transformations in their behavior while gaining confidence and balance. I would not hesitate to refer a client to him.

I will not just take my dog any where for training. So after much research I decided on MDT. I am so glad I did. Smokey was a nice dog before going to MDT. Now she is wonderful. MDT has a lot to offer in the way of training. So you can teach you dog many different things. I found this builds a better relationship with you dog. I knew from the moment that I walk into MDT that I was in the right place. Michael and his staff put the dogs safety above all else. You can sense a true love of all animals there.
