That way whether based on geographical location, their specialty or it just feels like the right fit you can rest assured you’re working with a trusted professional. While I ( Michael Burkey of Michigan Dog Training) would love to work with you and your dog  I want to share with you who else I believe are the best dog trainers in Michigan. Once they know what is expected behavior they also learn there are logical and fair consequences for choosing not to do the right thing. Thus, they learn there are rewards for doing the right thing and in the end it becomes self rewarding to do the right thing. You show them the value in doing the right thing (behavior). The trainer should use positive training methods to teach new skills but will also use fair corrections to decrease undesired behavior once the dog understands what is the expected behavior. You want to select a trainer that is highly experienced and demonstrates the ultimate integrity and professionalism.  I personally know one “trainer” who was fired from a dog training company and falsely tells his clients he had received two promotions. There are also trainers who outwardly lie. Some trainers lean toward pure positive reinforcement (which there is no such thing in the real world) and sadly others are still locked in the old days of “training” by punishment. There are numerous different training styles and beliefs to choose from.


Its hard to know who you can trust when searching for a qualified dog training company and ultimately the best dog trainers in Michigan.
