Dog Academy of NC
"You can teach an old dog new tricks. Any dog can be taught to do anything."
Meet Michael Ward

After training dogs for the past 13 years, Michael decided to turn his passion into his occupation. So he attended the Tom Rose School in High Ridge, MO and gained theoretical knowledge as well as additional hands-on training. He is now accredited as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer.

Michael believes in the traditional method, although he is also proficient in motivational training.

Regardless of age or temperament, Michael loves all dog breeds. He believes no dog is too old or dumb to be trained. While living in Germany, Michael saw that well-trained dogs were often brought to restaurants, malls and stores. It is his dream to achieve the same level of dog tolerance in the United States.

Michael has a natural bond with dogs. They are drawn to him and show him a high level of respect due to his calm confidence. This mutual understanding makes him comfortable around all dogs and able to fix even their most challenging behavioral problems.
