Having rescued a dog from the local shelter, we didn't quite understand some of his behaviors and decided to reach out to Really Good Pets for guidance. Upon meeting Michael, and Michael meeting Bandit (our Lab/Border Collie mix), we were reassured that Bandit was a good boy, but had some trauma he was dealing with. Just after our first session, we were already seeing positive differences in Bandit. We are now several sessions in and Bandit has grown so much and learned many commands in such a short time. We do work with him at home on the commands and incorporate the guidance from Michael into our every day lives. We look forward to our future sessions and seeing Bandit bloom into the wonderful, loving, smart pup that he is. All he needed was a chance and his human parents to understand why he was acting they way he was. Being able to understand Bandit's behavior, and how we can help him, has been a beautiful experience. We are very thankful to Really Good Pets and Michael for the knowledge, patience, and guidance.

We brought our older puppy in for a free consultation, and I was so impressed and grateful. Michael was patient, listened to our concerns and questions, and gave us honest advice. We weren’t sure whether our dog needed basic training or something more intensive, and Michael took his time evaluating the dog and was super honest and didn’t try to oversell us. (As new/first time dog owners, he so easily could have). Our dog immediately loved him and he gave us so much helpful information just during the consultation. Highly recommend.

Our family has been using Michael Harper to help us train our new puppy. He has been so wonderful from the very first message and meeting. Since our puppy wasn’t fully vaccinated he has been coming to the house starting a few days after we brought her home. Our puppy and family knew right away he was going to be a great fit. He is knowledgeable and you can tell that he loves doing this type of work. He had our puppy doing tricks within being at our home for a few minutes. He gives us a few things each week to work on and if I have any questions or concerns in between visits he is always available. I am confident by the time we are done with our training we will have the obedient dog we are working towards. I would recommend him to anyone looking for dog training.

I started training with my sweet Charlie Merle, a boisterous, biting, wild one, when he was about 11 weeks old and fresh out of the pound. I went into it thinking I had lost my mind spending that much money and also that it was so not going to work. Well, let me tell you, I was dead wrong. Aiden is amazing and has shown me what I need to know to have an amazing, really good pet. I needed the training every bit as much as Charlie, and together, we have learned so much and have the tools for a lifetime of learning and good boy behavior. If you’re considering dog training, do it. Call Really Good Pets and make the best doggie decision!

I have a 3 yr old female German Shepherd who is dog reactive, people reactive, pulled hard on the leash, jumped on people with excitement. I reached out to Michael at really good pets for help in correcting these behaviors. We have only had a few sessions and my Luna is learning and responding to all methods we have learned so far. She is already a different dog than when we started. At our last session my husband even made the comment to Luna "who are you?" Because she has done so well. All the credit goes to Michael. Seriously, he's the best. I can not wait to see how far we come in our training journey with Michael's help!! If your looking for a good dog trainer, Michael is your guy.

We had a wonderful experience with Michael training our two Great Pyrenees. He gave us valuable information about their breed and worked well with us in learning how to be even better pet parents. Would highly recommend Michael as a trainer!

Michael is an awesome trainer. He is so good with Daisy and also with my husband and myself. He explained things easily. It is also obvious his love for dogs! 5stars for Michael!

Michael Harper has been an ideal trainer in our home for our 6 year old Maltese that doesn’t like men! Michael won him over the first day and gave us great information about dog language. 🐾🐾He is very easy going, friendly and anxious to help. He watches closely and thinks through the cause and dynamics of the relationships and offers solutions that work. 😊 My husband can now enter a room without being charged and even responds to most of his commands. They have started to bond and even do some tricks. I highly recommend using Really Good Pets. They will change your life and your furry companions ♥️

We had Michael as our trainer and he was absolutely wonderful. He was very kind, respectful, and, most importantly, knowledgeable. He not only helped our dog, Sophie, become more obedient, but he also taught my partner and I the skills to continue her training at home as well. I highly recommend him and Really Good Pets for any training your dog might need!

Don’t hesitate, if you’re thinking about investing in dog training, this is the place to go!! We have had around 5 sessions with Michael and have seen a huge shift in how our dog, Benji, interacts with us! We have tried other dog trainers before but Michael is hands down the best. He teaches the importance of the relationship with your dog and how that is everything when it comes to behavior. He uses nothing but positive reinforcement to create new habits and skills. It’s fun for me to learn and Benji has a blast!

I started working with Michael on general obedience with my dog with the ultimate goal of having my dog behave around my horses. After a few lessons, we headed out to the ranch and Michael had my dog minding his manners around the horses in a matter of hours! Michael is very nice and fun and easy to work with, and my anxious dog is always so excited to go see him! Fully recommend for any dog and any issue!

Aiden did a wonderful job training our 2 dogs, and taught us some very important fundamental skills in working with them. We recommend Really Good Pets, without reservation, and hope to be able to have Aiden work with our dogs again in the future!

Aiden is nothing short of fabulous! Professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and flexible. He met our little pup Tyson where he was, and flexed his training based on Tyson’s responses. While we didn’t get as far as we would have liked, we have a great foundation from which to build on in the coming days. Thank you Aiden and Really Good Pets!

My trainer, Aiden was excellent. He is kind and compassionate about his work. My dog Maisey responded to him very well the first time they met.Aiden broke down the lessons so they were easy to understand for both Maisey and myself. If I had questions Aiden was a phone call or text away.I would highly recommend him to anyone who wanted their pet to have better manners.

Aiden is our dog trainer, and he is the best that we have ever had. He is kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Our 2 year old Lab, Chloe, absolutely loves him. Every Tuesday I let her know that Aiden is coming, and she will look and wait for him throughout the day. We have seen such an improvement in Chloe since Aiden started to work with us. We highly recommend Aiden. Thank you Aiden for all of your help with Chloe.

We adopted our dog, Ace, after two families had decided he was too difficult to keep. After only a few training sessions he was a completely different dog! He was always smart and wanted to be good, he just needed a lot of direction. Michael is an excellent trainer and gave Ace exactly the direction he needed. We're so thankful for our experience with Michael and Really Good Pets.

I’ve been working with Aiden since December of 2022 when my baby Koda was only 3 months old.I reached out to Really Good Pets, in tears, as I had been working with a different company who had instructed me to use methods such as choke collars and tugging roughly on my dog’s neck to “discipline” her for not following through with commands. The look of fear in her eyes is something I will never forget. It broke me and I thought I ruined any chance of having a good relationship with my dog Koda.Aiden met up with us immediately after my phone call. We started our first training sessions a few weeks after and Koda was so overwhelmed with joy every time Aiden came by for training. Koda was eager to learn through positive reinforcement techniques and learns so quickly using Aiden’s methods.My relationship with Koda now has totally transformed, and training has become fun and exciting for the both of us. I’m so grateful for Really Good Pets and Aiden specifically.10/10 everything. Koda has nailed her basic commands, loves her trainer, enjoys training sessions. We plan to continue working with Aiden for as long as we can

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Michael is incredible and has taught my hyper high energy dog so much in just 4 hours so far. We have a baby on the way and I was so anxious because my dog was way too rough with jumping and play nipping. We tried everything we could find to try to correct it ourselves and were frustrated and losing hope. She’s still her playful self but with way better boundaries and listening already! I could not recommend Michael more!

Training at Really Good Pets has been fantastic for my little puppy and myself! We love going every week to learn something new. Michael has been so helpful and patient with us. Our puppy, Gemma, was already great. Now, I know that with Michael’s continued help-she will be a fabulous pet.

Michael was so patient and helpful with us. As first time dog owners, we had no idea what we were getting into when we decided to bring a puppy into our home. Michael not only helped train our puppy, but he trained us to be good, responsible, and consistent trainers ourselves. I highly recommend him and his team!

We had the most amazing experience with Michael! He is so patient and intuitive with the dogs and people alike! He did a great job of explaining why dogs behave certain ways, working with their individual personalities, and always worked with us when our schedule was difficult. I would recommend Michael and really good pets to anyone wanting to improve their dog’s behaviors and skills!

Michael was great to work with. He treated my little guy like he was his own pet. Love that they use positive reinforcement, Michael was very big on not wanting my guy to obey out of fear. Michael was very knowledgeable about my dogs behavior and had excellent tips for furthering his training. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality training facility.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Michael so far. He has helped us communicate better with our 4 year old Wheaton, who was dog reactive and disobedient on a leash. We can now go to parks and not worry about what will happen when another dog approaches. It is such a relief and a joy watching your dog act like a dog and not be scared, anxious or on constant guard.

A friend referred Michael saying he was the only dog trainer she’d ever worked with that didn’t shame her for her dog’s bad behavior. She was absolutely right, and I could give Michael five stars on that alone. We came in with three different dogs with a wide variety of bad behaviors that were driving us nuts. From the very first lesson Michael was able to help us start to change things for the better. He even thought to teach the dogs to respond to hand signals as well as verbal commands, so my nonverbal special needs child can give the dogs commands too! We definitely recommend Michael, five stars across the board!

Michael has helped guide us train 3 dogs to work with children and adults as therapy dogs. His expertise and instinct is unlike anything I have experienced. He knows instantly what my animal is thinking and can immediately help us to correct any behaviors. Truly an asset to the animal loving community.

Kathleen and Michael do an amazing job helping train dogs and more importantly they instruct the owners on how to behave. We have had group classes and solo lessons. We are thankful for Really Good Pets and would recommend them to anyone who wants to grow closer to there dogs.

My 8 wk old German Shepherd and I met with Michael yesterday for a 30 min free consultation and we are totally impressed. She's going to get another round of shots b4 we actually start but after only a few minutes Michael had Trixie sitting and coming to him, even laying down. Astounding! We're going to keep practicing at home and we'll be ahead of the game when she goes to her first official session. This is going to be the best investment I've ever made. 👍👍👍👍👍

Michael is awesome and has helped us so much with our dogs. Our oldest has transformed from being stubborn and unruly to listening amazingly well and being our best behaved. He is always super accommodating and has helped us in so many ways. 5/5 would recommend.

Aiden has been such a blessing to our family and has been an integral part of making a Buttercup a really good pet! He is knowledgeable, kind and pragmatic. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their pet's behavior or the bond with their pet!
