What folks say about Mike
- We enjoyed having you here to celebrate Animal Friends week 2019! Look forward to future Lunch-n-Learns! Mary M, Human Resources Assistant, Seaboard Corp.
- A BIG THANK YOU to Mike Deathe at KISS DOG TRAINING for the great seminar today. Always enjoy Mike’s seminars! He is a great speaker and makes training SIMPLE and easy to understand. Thanks, Mike! Sharon W, Program Director, Pets for Life.
- We loved the Babies Don’t Bark Seminar! So helpful and educational! Made bringing our new baby home to our fur baby so much less stressful! Katie
- I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation you conducted for Pets for Life volunteers on Saturday. It was very informative and helpful. I came away with two very helpful hints that I will use with Stanton. I wish I could have taken your classes years ago when I brought my first yellow Lab, Niki, into our home! Martha L, Canine Companions for Independence, Volunteer.
- I would HIGHLY recommend Babies Don’t Bark to anyone who has a dog at home and a baby on the way. We learned SO much about how we can prepare our dogs for the new baby. The part that I brought home, and enjoyed the most is respecting my dogs’ needs, their limitations, and their speed for accepting new changes. A new baby is a HUGE change for EVERYONE in the household, but it can be harder on dogs… it takes a lot of time to communicate with them about the change and the time is NOW to start adapting their lives.
- Mike is our most popular webinar host every year and we always get questions about when he’ll be back. He’s super knowledgeable but also makes all the information really accessible for even the most frustrated dog parents! If you’re still on the fence, my advice is to jump on in and hire Mike.
