Meet Mike, our new trainer at The Dog Stop! 🐾

Mike brings more than 10 years of experience helping dogs and their owners build stronger communication, better manners, and a deeper sense of connection.

He’ll be helping Dog Stop families with Core Manners Play & Train during daycare, private training, in-home training, group classes, and group-readiness support for solo/VIP dogs.

We’ll share more details soon, but we’re excited to welcome Mike and bring more trainer-led support to our daycare, boarding, grooming, and solo/VIP families.
