About Michael Jackson Dog Training

Michael Jackson Dog Training LLC works from 995 Myrtle Ave in Bed-Stuy. The owner states fifteen years of experience training a range of breeds and temperaments, and describes his methods as humane and, in his own phrasing, positive and balanced.

Four published programs

Puppy training covers obedience basics, socialization and potty training as a foundation. Essential obedience teaches sit, stay and come, framed as improving communication between dog and owner. Behavior correction is personalized work for dogs showing aggression, anxiety or destructive habits. The fourth is the one that sets this practice apart from most in the borough: advanced training and canine sports, covering agility, tracking and protection sports, offered as a way to keep a capable dog engaged and fit.

How it starts

The entry point is a fifteen-minute call followed by an in-person evaluation with a $100 consultation fee, payable by PayPal. The stated approach is to meet the dog where it is.

The FAQ, which is the most useful page

Several practical answers are published outright. Training can begin at eight weeks once the puppy has had the necessary vaccinations. Positive reinforcement is described as the technique used. Owner participation is encouraged so that the techniques are applied consistently at home. A standard course such as basic obedience typically runs four to six weeks with one session a week, and follow-up support after a course is offered.

What clients describe

One review describes a three-week transformation in a dog that had been aggressive toward other dogs, barked when left alone and pulled on the leash, to a dog coexisting peacefully with other dogs – the three problems that most often arrive together in a dense neighborhood.
