What Our Customers Say About Us:

“Trained Wright K9 is a great resource whether you need to train a puppy or get behavior modification for any problem areas your dog may have. I have full confidence that Mike and his son, Isaac, are capable in handling any need you may have with your dogs. They are very professional and a great resource to utilize so that you have a great relationship with your dogs.”

“We have a ginormous and very stubborn Mastiff that was completely unruly. He jumped on everyone and everything. He was the boss of us. Two weeks at Trained Wright and this good boy is the best behaved pet we have EVER had. He’s so fun to be around now. We 100% recommend these guys.”

“Trained Wright K9 is AWESOME, we are a few weeks in behavior modification and there is a HUGE difference in my dog! I am so very thankful for the work Mike puts in to help make Flint the best dog he can be!!”

“Mike is the absolute best trainer around! He has done wonders with both mine (obedience) and my sisters (behavior mod) dogs. Highly highly recommend him, if you’re serious about wanting a good, solid dog.”

“I reached out for help with our youngest pup. She is an almost 2 year old pit bull. She would jump on everyone, pull like crazy on a leash, and bark at literally everything. We have been training with Trained Wright for about a month and man what a difference! We are still in the process of training but there have been huge improvements every week. Mike and Isaac are great people and great trainers. They are very passionate and love what they do. They care for your animals and love to see them succeed. Mike is always up to answer questions in between sessions, which is very much appreciated. I highly recommend!!”
