Meet Teddy, Onyx & Trixie! 🐾

Teddy is a big, powerful boy who loves to pull, while Onyx and Trixie both struggle with reactivity. I’m responsible for walking this crew 3 to 4 times each week, providing them with safe, structured exercise while reinforcing better leash manners, calmer choices and improved focus.

I specialize in handling large, powerful breeds, heavy pullers and reactive dogs not only during training sessions, but through regular dog walking as well. If walking your dog has become stressful, overwhelming or physically difficult, I can help give them the exercise and structure they need while keeping everyone safe.

Your dog doesn’t need to be ā€œeasyā€ to deserve a great walk. šŸ’ŖšŸ•

From leash pulling and reactivity to calm walks and confidence. 🐾

Brolly came to Mikie’s Dog Services with no formal training, but with consistency, teamwork, and owner education, he learned all the basics. The biggest transformation wasn’t just Brolly it was helping his mom realize she was just as capable as his dad.

Now they’re walking with confidence, handling distractions, and enjoying their time together. Proud of this team. šŸ’ŖšŸ¶

Willow putting in the work šŸ’ŖšŸ¾ 🌭

Long line drills, stop stays, impulse control, recall, and building trust one rep at a time. A solid stop command isn’t just obedience it’s safety, freedom, and communication.

People see the finished dog… not the hours at the park practicing the basics over and over. Proud of this girl every single day. šŸ–¤

🚨 A friendly reminder from Mikie’s Dog Services 🐾

We get it…Seeing someone offer cheap dog walks can feel like a win.

Quick. Easy. Affordable.

But here’s the part most people don’t think about šŸ‘‡

This isn’t just a ā€œwalkā€ā€¦This is handling a powerful, unpredictable animal in a real-world environment.

Even the sweetest dogs can:
🐾 React to another dog in seconds
🐾 Spook from a loud noise
🐾 Slip out of gear if it’s not fitted right
🐾 Pull someone off balance
🐾 Get into dangerous situations fast (traffic, wildlife, fights)

And when that moment happens…there’s no pause button.

So before trusting just anyone, ask yourself šŸ‘‡
ā“ Can they read your dog’s body language?
ā“ Do they understand behaviour not just basic commands?
ā“ Do they know how to prevent a situation before it escalates?
ā“ Are they trained in pet CPR & first aid?
ā“ Would they know exactly what to do in a dog fight or wildlife encounter?

Because experience isn’t something you can fake in those moments.

At Mikie’s Dog Services, this is what we do.This is what we train for. šŸ’Ŗ

We specialize in dogs that need more than just ā€œa quick walkā€:
šŸ• Large, powerful breeds
šŸ• Strong pullers
šŸ• High-energy or reactive dogs
šŸ• Dogs that need structure, leadership, and control

We’re not just walking your dog we’re managing behaviour, ensuring safety, and building trust every step of the way.

At the end of the day…You’re not just paying for time.

You’re investing in:
āœ”ļø Proper handling
āœ”ļø Real experience
āœ”ļø Safety under pressure
āœ”ļø Peace of mind

Your dog deserves more than ā€œjust anyone.ā€ ā¤ļøšŸ¾

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared Sophie’s journey šŸ¾ā¤ļø

A caring neighbour first reached out to me because she was concerned about whether Sophie’s owner would be able to manage such a large, powerful dog on her own after the passing of her husband. Sophie is incredibly loving but with her size and strength, everyday things like walks and door greetings can become overwhelming or even unsafe without the right structure and support.

Since then, we’ve been putting in consistent work.
Sophie now understands space boundaries, reliable recall, structured stays & place work, polite door manners, and loose-leash walking so outings are calm, controlled, and safe for her mom.

In this video you’ll see more than just training.
You’ll see me walking her, grooming her, feeding her, cleaning her kennel, picking up after her, helping around the property, and building a genuine bond.

Because this isn’t just dog training
this is a real support service.

I’m here for the people who truly love their dogs but may not physically be able to give them everything they need anymore.
Whether it’s an elderly owner, someone living with an injury or disability, or anyone going through a major life change… that’s where I step in.

Every person deserves the companionship of a dog.
And every dog deserves proper care, structure, and exercise.
My role is to help make that balance possible.

This is what Mikie’s Dog Services is all about
supporting owners, strengthening dogs, and creating safer, happier lives together.🐶

Big milestone day for Wally šŸ’ŖšŸ©

Our main goal from the start was building him into a dog who could safely enjoy off-leash freedom someday and the progress he’s made has been massive. His obedience, focus, and confidence have all levelled up… and he even conquered his fear of stairs šŸ™Œ

Today we took his skills into a more real-world setting with distractions. He showed us just how much he’s learned, while also reminding us there’s still some polishing to do which is exactly how good training should look. Progress, not perfection.

A special highlight… it was Willow’s very first day ā€œon the job.ā€šŸ•ā€šŸ¦ŗ
She once struggled with dog reactivity herself, and today she helped demonstrate calm introductions and structured work around other dogs. Watching both Wally and Willow grow together was a proud trainer moment ā¤ļø

Wally’s mom has put in the work and continues to show real commitment to doing things safely and responsibly. The dream of safe off-leash adventures is getting closer every session

Amazing dog. Dedicated owner. Bright future ahead.

First structured meet-up with Rex, Zeus & Ace fully muzzled, fully prepared, zero ego.

We don’t ā€œhope for the best.ā€
We build control first.

Zeus was becoming reactive on walks. Once he escalated, Ace followed. Two powerful dogs reacting at once is overwhelming for any handler. So instead of avoiding the problem… we trained through it safely and correctly.

Today wasn’t about forcing interaction.
It was about:

• Proper meet-up protocol
• Clear leash handling
• Structured obedience under pressure
• Reading body language
• Interrupting reactivity early
• Building Dad’s confidence

And that’s where the real win happened.

Dad followed instructions.
He stayed calm.
He handled pressure correctly.

When Zeus improved, Ace stayed neutral.
When Dad became confident, both dogs settled.

That’s the formula.

Through structure, clarity, and relationship work the dynamic changed.

Before our lessons, Dad wasn’t comfortable walking them together.
Now? He walks both with confidence and control.

Reactivity isn’t about dominance.
It’s about leadership, timing, and trust.

Progress doesn’t happen by accident it happens by design.
