Why Micheal's Angel Paws?

It's not just a vest; it's what is under the vest that counts. 

 

We are a team of dedicated canine coaches that believe every dog is unique! Therefore, our Service Dog program is just as unique as your dog. Our goal is to provide you and your dog with a lifetime experience that gives you the freedom to live your life on your terms. The relationship between the two is what makes this mutual partnership flourish. So, as your relationship grows with your dog, we are here to support and celebrate your life achievements together.

  • Why weekly dog training sessions?
    Success for you and your pup is built upon practice. Each week, you will be given new cues to learn and practice for the following week.
  • What is your group class makeup policy?
    If you miss a group class, we do not offer makeup classes. Please clear your schedule for group classes and private sessions, as all sessions will be scheduled beforehand. If Michael's Angel Paws needs to cancel a class, we will gladly reschedule the class for a later time.
  • What is your refund policy?
