The human behind the training
Michael Isaac, CPDT-KA
What people are saying
“Michael is an amazing human and excellent, supportive dog trainer. We’ve been working with him for several years, and he’s constantly listening and making clear recommendations on goals (when he then works on when he sees our dog each week). His methods are loving and positive and supportive. We especially benefitted from in person leash training sessions that were contextualized in our lifestyle/ home set up. He’s thoughtful, communicative, and an all around skilled and excellent trainer. We would recommend him to anyone!”
“If you have big problems, small problems or just want to learn how to better connect with your pup, let Michael help you!
Our pup was having behavioral issues when we first got her out of the shelter. Michael was so patient with our limited knowledge and her lack of confidence. In no time, she is much more secure, shows no aggression towards other animals and is happy as a bug! She’s a big girl and now we can handle her on a leash with no problems at all.
It doesn’t take long for you to notice a significant change. It was a very stressful situation for us on a daily basis before we got Michaels help, but now we just couldn’t be happier.
I should note, I reached out to multiple trainers and they all referred me to Michael.
He’s also great for boarding and housesitting too!”
“Michael has a lot of experience working with dogs and does a great job as an animal trainer and caretaker. I’ve boarded my dog Teddy with him multiple times and it gives me a sense of security and joy knowing Teddy being treated to a lovely vacation with excellent care!”
“We’ve worked with Michael twice a week (plus 1 board and train) since our golden retriever, Dilly, first came home. Now she’s 6 months old and our dog is amazing—all because of great training.
Not only is Michael phenomenal with dogs (we call him the dog whisperer), he has taught us so much about how to interact with our pup in a positive manner that strengthens our bond and achieves remarkable results. Dilly came back from a board and train leaps and bounds ahead of where she was before (she even got a homemade Thanksgiving dinner!). She’s had training outings all over Austin and now knows 30+ commands and is super well socialized. I cannot speak highly enough of Michael; it’s been a joy to work with him. If you want an extraordinarily well behaved pup and a trainer who truly understands—and loves—your dog (and can make them happily do literally anything), Rocko’s is your place.”
