Mike's training approach proves itself time and time again in field trial, hunt test and gundog training.

"The thing that sets Mike apart from all the rest
  is his ability to get inside the dogs' heads and
  know what makes them eager to perform... his
  system works. It shows you how to be
  successful step by step."

-Tim West, Arcadia Retrievers, Arcadia, OK.
 Tim trains his personal dogs for AKC field
 trials and UKC hunt tests

"The thing that impresses us the most is the
  standards that are set for training that are both
  fair and effective. Whether it is how to bring
  the dog from our truck to line and back, or
  how to give fair but useful corrections, or how
  to teach a dog to fight the factors to run
  straight lines, Mike's program has made us
  successful while having our dogs maintain
  great attitudes."
