- Ask you questions about your dog's history
- Inquire as to your training goals
- Explain our training philosophy and services
- Recommend which program would be the best fit for you and your dog
We work with all breeds and the training programs are individually tailored. However, most owners desire the following:
- How to reduce and manage aggressive / fearful tendencies
- How to teach self imposed calm behavior
- To walk nicely on a loose leash
- To reliably come when called
- Not to jump on guests
- To wait at door ways rather than barging out past you
- To go to a predetermined place and stay there until released

To start your dog's education
Please provide us with a copy of your dog’s vaccination verification (DHPP, Influenza, Bordetella and Rabies). A negative fecal test result and Bordetella must have been done within the last six months. Puppies and Dogs cannot do Private Lessons without verification.
MDT was recommended to us for training from a family member, as we were looking for more obedience from our dog while interacting with our 1-year old daughter. We were heartbroken but close to considering rehoming our pup, and with this training we have regained the confidence we needed to feel comfortable having her around our daughter. We completed private lessons, and I cannot speak highly enough of the owner, Michael. He is very kind and his expertise is evident throughout every session. We highly recommend MDT and Michael Burkey.
