The Educated Pet

I have been taking my dogs to Mike & Carol for over 20 years. I have learned so much that has helped me to be a better pet parent and get good behavior from my dogs. I learned how important positive reinforcement is. We get compliments wherever we go, even to the Vet!

The Educated Pet has been a “constant” in the life of my precious Labrador. Dolly is now 7 years old and has been an absolute JOY…In large part because we began our journey with Carol & Mike when she was 4 month’s old! Their expertise, gentle guidance and love for all their pup’s was evident from the beginning. I wanted my dog to be respectful, attentive and well-behaved. I wanted to take her everywhere, a member of my family, a constant companion. Carol and Mike gave me the tools to do just that. I will be forever grateful…I can’t think of higher confidence and praise for The Educated Pet than entrusting my Dolly, twice-a-week for the last 7 years! Hoping for MANY more!\nLori P Smith & Dolly

My pup and I started our two-year journey with Carol and Mike with Puppy Kindergarten, we've breezed through Obedience, improved our bond with Agility, and even practiced out in the real work in the Canine Good Citizenship class. Carol's been the perfect guide for this first-time adult dog parent, making learning a breeze with her expertise, support, and positive approach. The classes keep us accountable, ensuring that practice is a daily habit. Carol and Mike are pawsitively awesome!

I have known both owners of this business for more than a decade. The knowledge that they possess, helping to guide pet owners in regards to behavior and training is top notch. Problems are not always a quick fix especially with our pets. Carol and Mike take careful calculated considerations into account when working with their clients. As a veterinary professional I have had Carol and Mike come and speak with my veterinary staff so they could learn tools to help set up them up for success with the many fearful and anxiety ridden pets we treat daily. Their approach is positive and grounded in doing the work to have a confident and loving pet family member. The Educated Pet does far more than just training and behavior modification. They are versed on many other dog programs and certifications. If you are looking for someone that will be honest with their approach at how to tackle behavior problems or just concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to Carol now.

We've been going to The Educated Pet for 6 years now and Carol is awesome and a great trainer! There's no better trainer than Carol. She had so much knowledge and our dog Kiera loves her! We take the SOS class once a week for 4 hours. She gets continued training on commands and also has fun time with other dogs and she comes home tired! Try it and you will love it! I wouldn't know what to do without this class and Carol and Mike!
