Peaceful Dog Training

Michael is definitely the best there is when it comes to training dogs! Michael has been training our Labradoodle as a mobility service dog over the last 2 years. Every time he works with Briny I am truly amazed! Briny now has the ability to open doors, throw trash in the trashcan, retrieve ringing cell phones, search for shoes, untie shoe laces, bring mail, push elevator buttons, bring car keys and shop for items at Lowes that he then places on the check-​out counter. Truly an exceptional trainer!

Michael is an amazing trainer! He trained Jake when he was puppy 10 years ago. Jake unfortunately had some surgeries and it required strengthening for the injured hip and leg! Thanks to Mike, Jake started to regain his strength and agility. My vet is so pleased with Jake’s progress! Mike has always been there for us! Jake still continues to improve!

Micheal started working with my dogs over 6 years ago and they just don’t get any better than him! My dogs, Dillon and April, absolutely love him. Michael has an incredible ability to figure out what motivates a dog and use that to his advantage to get the dog excited about learning. He uses only positive reinforcement techniques which keep the dogs coming back for more. Also very important, Micheal knows how to work with the owner… as it is usually we humans who are the problem when it comes to training our dogs. :) He has great patience with both the dog and the owner which makes for a winning combination.
Michael truly loves the dogs and truly cares about them as if they were his own dogs… of course, I think mine would go to the ends of the earth with him.
There aren’t enough stars on this review to give to Micheal and I have, and continue to recommend him to anyone who is looking for only the best when it comes to training their dogs.

You don’t offer enough stars for Mike. We got a Boston Terrier puppy in February of this year and were given Mike’s name from a satisfied client of his. We had enough time while in Florida to use Mike for four training sessions. He did a wonderful job with a very young puppy and upon our return to Florid we will do more with him.

If you want a «real» «trainer» who trains both your dogs and their «parents» than you want Michael Smith with Peaceful Dog Training.
If there were a 50 Star Button we would have hit it .
He is awesome and kind and just plain FANTASTIC

I have personally known Mike Smith and his wife for 8 years. He has trained approximately 7 of my dogs thru the years as well as countless friends and family.
He has also been trusted on many occasions to stay in my home when we are out of town.
There is no one more sincere, honest and loving
People think I am crazy when I say «he is the dog whisperer» but HE IS

We have been using Michael for about 4 months now, and he has been a fabulous asset! He is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He loves and treats my dog like he is his own, and my dog LOVES when he comes over. He has also given my two small children confidence in their abilities to train and play. I tell anyone who asks how I got my puppy to be so well behaved. Michael at Peaceful Dog Training, of course!

I met Michael 6 years ago have used his professional training skills for so many different dogs over the years personally and referred many many people to him for training to become therapy dogs. Michael comes to your home and takes it all in before he starts the training. He then trains the owner how to train the dog. If one method doesn’t work he tries another and another until it works.
When I lost my border collie it left my golden so depressed I didn’t know what to do so I called Michael. He came to the house and my golden knew at that moment everything was going to be ok and we worked together at getting chance through his depression.
I can go on and on about how wonderful Michael is with dogs.
Thank you Michael for helping me and teaching me so mush over the years.
Joanne chance and hope.

Where is the 10 Star Button — We have worked with Michael for about 4 months with our two — totally out of control, untrainable Wheaten Terrorists Murphy (8 Years Old) Guinness (18 Months Old) — We were at our wits end as the dogs had started fighting out of the blue, they were having multiple accidents in the house, could not and would not walk on leash and pulled, dragged and made walking a nightmare. Michael came to our home and within 1 session dogs were walking on leash, I had more control over them, they listened to commands and the frequency of accidents decreased SIGNIFICANTLY.
By session 3 dogs were walking on leash on A1A, through Mizner, fights were non existent and most importantly dogs and family members were much more happy, less stressed out and walks were enjoyable. By session 4 we were taking our otherwise unmanageable dogs to the beach.
Michael is kind and gentle with dogs and people alike. He has a great sense of humor, he’s easy going and professional and made training fun. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him and the changes that he has made to our families way of life are immeasurable.
Thanks Dolores, Mark, Chloe, Karel, Guinness and Murphy

I cannot say enough great things about Peaceful Dog Training and Michael Smith. We own three dogs and we were having issues with our 5 year old English Bulldog. He was obsessed with tennis balls and we «had» to give him a brand new one every single day (sometimes two!) He would constantly push the ball into us to play and it never stopped. My wife contacted Michael and on the first visit, by the time I got home from work, the issue was solved. Now, we have zero balls in the house, they are only for outside. He get recycled tennis balls (which he used to just spit out) and it is all so good. Life is peaceful! We have had Michael back to teach him also to swim and find his way out of the pool since it is so hot for him to be running around outside. If you are in need of a trainer, call Michael and you will be so glad you did. I refer him all the time to my clients and each once has thanked me many times over.
