Blue Collar Dog Walking

I love my trainer! Michael has made a world of difference in my relationship with my dog Shadow. He taught me how to control her reactive behavior. After working with Michael for a few short weeks, I walk down the street confident that my dog no longer lunges at others. Friends and neighbors are all impressed with the new Shadow. I carry Michael’s business card with me where ever I go!

I met Michael Jackson this past summer after I had picked up my Newf pup Burt! After trying to get him trained for a few months at different places and hitting all sorts of snags (prices/​timings/​flexibility/​methods/​class size) just happened to run into Michael again and he proposed his Blue Collar Dog Walking/​Training.
I signed up for his personal in home training and daily dog walking and its been the best choice I have made!
1^st his in home training is wonderful. Michael is an expert trainer with years of knowledge and experience under his belt. Not only are his methods successful, but he really takes the time to not only teach Burt the lesson, but he spends a lot of time with you one on one explaining and teaching you how to perfect and enforce the training in-​between sessions and beyond. When it come to the money part, he is very competitive and he is worth every penny. He uses a down payment and completion of payment method which is very fair and helpful if you are on a budget.
2^nd his dog walking is top notch! He works with your pet on the walks enforcing proper etiquette and training. This has worked wonders on Burt who was a pulling machine and is now properly behaved and it only took 1 week (5 days of walks!). Not only does he just take your dog for a walk, but he also makes sure your pup gets proper exercise and enjoyment. Taking them to parks and grassy areas and lets them run and enjoy the outdoors. If you want he can walk your pup solo, but also can bring in others for socialization for your best friend and let me tell you, Burt loves walking with MJ and Rosie (in the photos provided) and it has been great for his days while I am at work. For cost he breaks it up into 30/​45/​1hr/​1hr+ and he is super competitive with all other services offered.
He also has daycare which I have not used yet (haven’t needed) but will for sure use if i have to go on a business trip in the future.
Overall I give Michael and Blue Collar an A+ (5 stars) and would highly recommend him to anyone who asks. Get in touch with Michael and you won’t regret it and your pup will thank you every day!

Amazing Dog Walker and Trainer!!! I have an anxiety filled Yorkie. Excessive panting, barking when I leave, etc. It was causing a problem in my brownstone before I moved. I had a consultation with the owner… Michael Jackson (how cool is that)! He advised me to do walks, get my dog on a schedule, and how to reward positive behavior. When I follow his advice I have a well-​behaved, anxiety free dog. I also noticed that when I walk my dog, he had trained my dog how to walk on the leash… no more pulling!!!
In addition… this guy loves dogs and more importantly my dog LOVES Michael Jackson. Reasonably priced, honest, trustworthy, and dependable. Hire him and don’t look back.
