Testimonials

"Lachlan and I thoroughly enjoy agility class with Michael at Every-Buddy’s Agility Fun!  We have learned so much, and have greatly improved our ability to work as a team since coming to classes here.  Lachlan is very grateful to Michael for teaching me how to keep my feet pointed in (generally) the right direction, so that he can run his fastest on the course.

Every-Buddy's Agility is friendly, fun, encouraging, and supportive whether the student's goal is running for ribbons or for personal satisfaction.   I love that the number of students in each class is kept small, so that everyone gets individual attention and guidance.  The atmosphere is always upbeat and happy, and dedicated to success and accomplishment.  E-B's  is a wonderful combination of Michael's excellent instruction and clinical expertise, and Heather's efficient organization and her "down home" thoughtfulness of bringing out hot chocolate on cold nights! Lachlan gives Every-Buddy's a big 'four paws up' rating!!"

Training with Michael has been a very positive experience.  He has a great sense of humor and  makes our training fun. I always look forward to going to class each week.

I started doing agility in the mid 90s.  That was when you and your dog
could be competitive if your dog correctly completed an obstacle 70% of the
time and you remembered the course.   Those days are gone.  Today the
courses are more difficult, even in novice, and the competition is at a
whole different level.  Michael motivated me to go back to fundamentals.  As
painful as " fundamentals" sound it really wasn't.  Michael makes the
classes fun, he gives every dog and handler equal personal attention.  I
like his common sense approach to dog training.   Michael has more than
canine insight he also has handler insight.  This is extremely important
because handlers are the biggest problem.
Thank you Every Buddy's Agility for all our successes.

"Michael's foundation work is thorough, and later on he really helped me get through a couple of problems that had us bogged down! "

“I’ve learned a LOT about how to better interact and relate to my dog Bosse in working with Michael. I am sure that we are a much more effective Search and Rescue team now than we were before I started agility training. That is REALLY GOOD NEWS!”

Hi, Heather

Just thought I’d share the good news. I was the Search and Rescue Team Lead and Bosse the K9 on the team that found the hiker that had been lost for two nights and two days around Snoqualmie last week. Cool experience!

Hugs,

Suzanne
