Wrote a wonderful testimonial on our facebook page. Thanks Gouri, it was our pleasure to train Lucy for you: "Our rescue, Lucy, came to us with no self-control and lots of negative behaviors: jumping, chewing, counter surfing, food aggression, to name a few. She also showed signs of aggression with our other dog, Ruckus. We were at our wits end. We signed Lucy up for the 6 week day training program and just finished last week. What a difference! She plays nicely with Ruckus, doesn’t jump when new people come over, and actually listens when we give her commands! Thank you to Michigan Dog Training for bringing out the best in our girl!"

From that point until now dogs have been in Mike's blood from pet dog training to law enforcement training and everything in between. If you are in the Plymouth, MI area and need help with your dog, check Mike out."

We received a very heart touching testimonial from Macy and her dog Murphy: “Thanks to Michael Burkey and the MDT team, Murphy can enter an extremely loud raucous environment with noises and sounds that would normally scare or distract most dogs. He knows to look to me for direction and keeps his focus on his job. He can run a 15k trail race one night and have my back at work the next day. MDT can help make your dog the best partner for whatever you like to do. I highly recommend!” Thanks Macy!!

Congratulations to JT Harris and her dog Murphy! On December 22, 2018 they passed the American Kennel Club’s Urban Canine Good Citizen evaluation!! The URBAN is the most difficult of the 4 types of CGC evaluation.
One of the components of the URBAN is to walk up and down a flight of stairs. Murphy showed he could do one better by accomplishing them on open back metal grating stairs which can be very difficult for many dogs. Murphy and his handler Rock!!
JT Harris and her dog Murphy!December 22, 2018 
Congratulations to JT Harris and Murphy for passing the American Kennel Club’s Advanced Canine Good Citizen evaluation on December 20, 2018. Murphy has come so far in his training due to his mom’s commitment to him and his training.
When Murphy first started training at MDT, he was very dog reactive. And, now he is able to maintain a down stay for 30 seconds around two other dogs within three feet of each other. He also had to pass another dog team in a narrow hallway which both are components of the evaluation. Congratulations to you both!!

graduated from his 8 private lesson program with his parents, Erin and Mike Pinkleton. Quincy was afraid of people and dogs and would bark at anyone in the room. In the end, he learned to happily approach people and wait for his treats for doing eye attention, hand touch or sit. Also in the beginning, Erin was afraid of Quincy due to having been bit by him. Look at her now, no more fear just happy smiles and Erin is now able to hold Quincy for his graduation photo without a problem. Quincy will now do socializations with the MDT staff without his parents present to build more confidence and later attend MDT’s Perfect Practice group classes for on going socialization and training. Great job Quincy, Erin and Mike P!
Erin sent us a heartfelt testimonial: “Everyone (during the enrollment process) put us at ease right away. The website is great. The deciding factor to choose MDT was due to the testimonials, experience and the free evaluation. I liked being able to have the opportunity to ask questions one on one (during the private training sessions). We liked Michael’s patience and experience. It was comforting that he had seen dogs and worked with dogs that had similar issues as ours. And, we liked that Michael didn’t push our dog beyond what his comfort level was.”
Quincy On June 18, 2018

And, doing so even got her fun play sessions with Michael’s dog Hunter. Great job Mika, Doreen and Jon! They will now attend our Perfect Practice group classes for continued support and practice.

In the beginning, Pat couldn’t hold onto Bruno nor keep him from repeatedly jumping up on her and grabbing her clothing and hair as he’s a strong dog. He was also fearful of people and other dogs. Now she is able to walk him on a loose leash, control him and taught him excellent obedience commands. Bruno remains at Pat’s side instead of pulling away upon seeing other dogs, he made a trusted friend with Michael to the point of giving him kisses and learned his staff were nice too. Great job Bruno and Pat! We look forward to seeing you at our Excitable Perfect Practice classes for on-going support.

She is a really happy awesome dog who is matched with a wonderful family that loves her so much. Due to Athena’s young age, we look forward to having her return for more advanced training in the near future.

graduated from MDT’s 2 week board and train program with awesome results. In the beginning, he was so distracted by everything around him. In only two weeks, even Cynthia Ransley’s son could even walk him like a pro! Great job Oscar! We look forward to seeing you at Perfect Practice group class for on-going support.
OscarOn May 12, 2018 
completed his six weeks of Day Training with flying colors. When he started with us, he would resource guard toys and not let go of them so we taught him an “out” command. He also resource guarded his food so we taught him to come away from his food on command as well as to stay while the food was put down for him in addition to his other obedience commands. Great job Spektor! You made your mom and dad, Jess Karin and Alex Price very proud of you. We look forward to seeing Spektor and you at Perfect Practice group classes for on-going support.
Spektor On May 11, 2018, 
she completed our two week board and train program. Stella did awesome! She has excellent obedience skills, walks on a loose leash, knows not to jump and go to place on cue. Congrats Stella and the Johnsons! We look forward to you participating in our Perfect Practice group classes for follow up support.
Megan and Andrew Johnson reunited with their dog StellaOn May 10, 2018 
completed MDT’s four weeks board and train with flying colors. She is 9 months old and came in as a wild (child) puppy barking at other dogs and well….being a puppy. Now she goes home with her parents Richard and Jolene Ryntz and their two children a much calmer dog; lays down and stays despite distractions such as passing cars, not barking at other dogs, walks on a loose leash, sits on cue, automatically sits when her handler stops walking, returns to heel position, comes when called, goes to place and stays there despite duration, distractions and distance from her handler, sits at doorways before being allowed to go through, etc. This is their second dog they have enrolled in MDT’s board and train program. Their first was Bella and she continues to do well. We look forward to seeing Tilli and her family attend our Perfect Practice group classes for on-going support. Thank you Richard and Jolene!

Michigan completed four private lessons with Michael Burkey. Riley learned to trust people – going from being muzzled to taking treats out of Michael’s hand, show more confidence around other dogs and learned excellent obedience skills. A huge improvement! Congrats Riley, Kayla and Kelsey! We look forward to continuing to work with you at our Perfect Practice group class for on-going support.

Completed four private training sessions with Michael Burkey. Grover was next to impossible to walk when he saw other dogs. Aggression wasn’t his problem, it was over excitement to the 20max as he wants to play with everyone. They’ve done an excellent job training Grover as he was able to get close to Michael’s dogs under control and have fun romps with Hunter. We look forward to having them continue with follow up support via our Perfect Practice group classes. Great job Grover, Sarah and Ryan!
Afterwards, Sarah submitted a heartfelt testimonial: “The whole (enrollment) process was great! I called and left a message, was called back promptly and made an assessment appointment. She (Maddi, Admin. Assistant) then called back to see if I wanted to move up to an earlier day because of a change in schedule. I really appreciated that! The assessment was scary for me going in but Michael was calm and in control so I was able to trust the process. I only have positive things to say about it! We were able to ask (Michael) lots of questions and get one on one help with our technique. What I liked about Michael’s teaching style/skills is how calm he is even when we’re nervous because our dog is overly excited. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for getting us on track to having a walkable dog!”
And, Ryan gave us a Five Star Review on our Google Business page: “Worth every penny. Even though our dog had the basic commands, Michael was able to work with us 1 on 1 to enhance our dog’s commands. We went to MDT to help us with Leash Reactivity and after 5 weeks of practice and several sessions we are seeing considerable improvement with our dogs behavior around other people and especially other dogs. We still have a long way to go, but our dog is much more manageable. The training is based on positive reinforcement and our dog has responded well to the training.”

Michael Burkey is an exceptional dog behaviorist. He has a positive reinforcement training style, and has helped quite a few of my clients. One client in particular was having trouble with a dog they adopted from me as a pup, and she grew to have some abnormal aggression issues. Michael was kind enough to go to their home and evaluate the pup for me, and gave all of us very helpful information and advice. It turned out that the pup was getting mixed signals from the owners who did not live together, so the pup was going from home to home. We ended up taking the pup back and placed her in another home, much calmer environment with one owner. She has grown into a wonderful, loving, calm dog with no aggression problems whatsoever. “Michael really helped us with this pup, and prevented a possible euthanasia, as 3 other behaviorists had recommended this pup be put down.”

Michigan successfully completed 8 private dog training lessons with Michael Burkey with awesome results. Bear’s initial goals were to lessen his aggression around other dogs. He learned advanced obedience, to be calm around other dogs and to even play off leash appropriately with Michael’s dog Hunter, a German Shorthair Pointer. Congratulations to all three of you! They will now continue Bear’s socialization around other dogs in MDT’s Perfect Practice Class.
Alisha and John Crescenti and their dog Bear, a German Shepherd of WarrenOn March 31, 2018 
graduated from participating in 8 private lessons with his parents Alison Velzen and Moe Alshtari and Michael Burkey. Kane came to MDT due to his severe fearful behavior of people and dogs. In the beginning, he wouldn’t take treats from strangers and in the end he would request petting from Michael and take treats from staff hands and even happily walk with them away from his parents. In addition to the behavior modification, he learned advanced obedience skills giving him a new outlook on life. Great job Kane, Alison and Moe!
ane, a Mini Australian ShepherdOn March 10, 2018 
graduated from participating in 8 private lessons with his mom Kelsey Garbutt and Michael Burkey having made huge improvements in his behavior. Remi is an extremely shy dog that wouldn’t approach people nor be confident around other dogs. He ended up learning obedience skills, to be much more confident around other dogs and to take treats from the hands of people and even sit and walk calmly with some other people without Kelsey being in view. Remi is such a cute dog and it’s been a true joy to see his delightful progress. He now has the skills he needs to live a less stressed life. He completed the 8 lessons on March 10, 2018 and will now attend MDT’s Perfect Practice group class for on going training and socialization. Great job Remi and Kelsey!
Remi, a German Shepherd / Husky mix On March 10, 2018 
graduated from our 6 week Day Training program with flying colors. When we first met Rem, she was very shy around strangers but warmed up quickly to our employees. Her parents wanted Rem to be a Therapy Dog at their business and thus needed to be more confident in public places and to improve her recall. During training, Rem’s confidence increased dramatically and learned excellent obedience skills as well as to place her head in people’s laps for petting. Rem’s dad Seth Michael, said they noticed a huge difference and are really excited to start taking her to work for her to start working as a Therapy Dog. Congrats Rem, you’ll be an awesome Therapy Dog!

ompleted a four weeks board and train program today at Michigan Dog Training in Plymouth, Michigan with flying colors. Skylar came to MDT to learn to leave things alone, come when called, and learn to be overall better behaved. Skylar learned to “leave it”, come, sit, down, heel on a loose leash without pulling and go to place on cue. Skylar will now be eligible to come to Perfect Practice group classes to further proof commands amongst distractions of other dogs and people. Congrats Carla, Sophia and Alexander on your new behaved dog!
Skylar, a loveable Welsh TerrierOn February 10, 2018 
completed four private training sessions with Michael. They did a fantastic job training their dog Larry whom exhibited fear issues being around other dogs when on a leash due to having been attacked by a dog on two occassions when he was younger. He also pulled hard while on walks and needed to learn to come more reliably because they like to take off leash hikes up north. Larry learned to heel nicely at their side, come when called, sit/down, go to place (which for Larry is very helpful to help curb his energy when he knows they are getting ready to go for a walk) and be calmer around other dogs including high energy dogs playing tug. Fantastic job to all three of you! We look forward to seeing you continue to proof Larry’s new skills in our Perfect Practice group classes.
Jeanne and Andrew Jones On February 4, 2018

Steve Wood and Gary Lewis of Westland: "We adopted Gracie and Lady (high energy Black Labrador Retrievers) and they needed obedience training. Both of our dogs have made great progress, with no stress for either dog or owner!"
“Michael’s positive training methods are unbelievable! Anyone can take the lessons learned in his class and apply them to everday situations as well as training a wonderful and obedient family dog. He will prove that you will get better results with shaping behavior rather than punishment. Michael genuinely cares about you and your dog. Thanks for all you have taught us!!”
“I recommend Michael’s services for any retired racer. If you haven’t been to a training class recently, I encourage you to enroll your dog or foster in a class. We are never too old to learn. I have repeated classes and taken my seniors through classes. We continue to learn new tricks every day!”
“Kole started tracking lessons with Michael and demonstrated high drive and focused interest. He had six tracking lessons in 2006 and will be resuming work with a focus on more turns and indicating articles.”
“Michael, thanks so much! I have been bragging to friends, family and coworkers about what a terrific training program you’re offering. This is SO helpful. Thanks for all your feedback – and so FAST! Greatly appreciate your efforts!”
“Michael, I just want to thank you again for all of your help with Casey. He is wonderful on a walk now and I feel very confident – thanks to you. I am also learning a tremendous amount during the training with Maggie. You are excellent!”
“From Puppy to Advanced classes, Mike is an exceptional teacher. Training is very interactive. Mike has had many graduate return for more advanced training. I accomplished a lot with his help.”
