THE NEW STANDARD IN MODERN DOG TRAINING
Training built to the standards set by the nation’s top veterinary behavior bodies — AVSAB and ACVB.
We don’t bury our methods in fine print — because there’s nothing to hide. Our approach is proudly:
Science-based.
Reward-based.
Fear-free. Force-free. Pain-free.
No prongs. No chains. No shocks
Not now. Not later. Not ever.
What we do instead is simple — and powerful:
Ethical, results-driven training built on trust, communication, and real understanding.
Because results should never require regret.
Our clients — from busy families to high-profile athletes — choose us because we deliver professionalism, discretion, and lasting transformation without the theatrics.
When you train with us, you’ll always know what we’re doing, why it works, and how to keep it working long after your program ends.
No dominance.
No drama.
No gimmicks.
Just clarity, connection, and calm that lasts — in the real world, with your real dog.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
BRITTANY S. | WESTLAKE, OH
When we brought home our 8 week old goldendoodle puppy, we knew training would be essential given the high energy of this breed. Mike stepped in immediately and helped us with multiple sessions on various relevant training topics including crate and potty training, treat/food guidance, polite leash walking, multiple commands and more. We have been able to use the knowledge of their educated team and now have a well behaved and smart 10 month old pup. Thank you Doggie Concierge for your patience and willingness to help our dog reach his potential. We are forever grateful!
STACY L. | BAY VILLAGE, OH
Our family recently enlisted the help of Mike with training, primarily leash walking. Mike came to us with a wealth of knowledge and effective skills to get the job done. He was friendly and kind. We’re so grateful for his work as we can now enjoy taking our dogs for a walk!
CARLY F. | LAKEWOOD, OH
Mike is AMAZING with the doggos. He is so kind, patient, and incredibly thorough - both with the dogs and with us! I cannot recommend him enough.
ZACK W. | WESTLAKE, OH
Mike is a legendary trainer. He took our dog Sprout from a jumpy excited pup, to a dog that reads every situation correctly. She sits, lays, and returns on command now. All with ONLY positive reinforcement. No choker collars. No smacking. Just learning how to communicate with our animals.
Couldn’t recommend Mike more. Total professional. Cool dude. A+ experience.
Book A Discovery Call
STEP 1 - DISCOVERY CALL
Start with a complimentary 20-minute virtual consultation.
We’ll talk about your goals, your dog’s behavior, and what “calm and confident” looks like for your household. You’ll learn exactly how our system works and which course best fits your needs — before you commit to anything.
STEP 2 - VIRTUAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT
Before training begins, you’ll complete a detailed intake and provide short video clips of your dog’s nuisance behaviors — things like jumping, barking, leash pulling, or chaos at the door. This allows me to observe the authentic behavior in context, without the “company manners” that often appear when a stranger walks in.
I analyze these clips frame-by-frame to pinpoint the root cause, not just the surface-level symptoms. You’ll receive a professional summary of my findings and recommendations for the right course of study.
STEP 3 - IDENTIFYING YOUR DOG'S COURSE OF STUDY
No two dogs — or households — learn the same way.
Based on the assessment, we determine your dog’s ideal Course of Study, selecting from targeted programs such as Everyday Etiquette, Chaos to Composure, or The Calm Dog Blueprint
This is where the “why” behind your dog’s behavior becomes the roadmap for lasting change. We don’t apply band-aids or suppress symptoms — we fix what’s driving the behavior in the first place through clear communication, structure, and emotional regulation.
STEP 4 - ACTIVE COACHING & COURSEWORK
Over three to six weeks (depending on your course), we’ll work together to implement your plan in real-life settings.
You’ll learn to communicate clearly, lead calmly, and reinforce behaviors consistently. Between sessions, you’ll receive video homework, check-ins, and ongoing support via text or video — because transformation happens between lessons, not just during them.
STEP 5 - GRADUTATION + LIFETIME SUPPORT
At graduation, you’ll have a calmer, more connected dog and the confidence to maintain that progress on your own.
But training doesn’t end here — you’ll have lifetime follow-up support for tune-ups, refreshers, and evolving life stages.
Because peace of mind — like good manners — should last a lifetime.
