I haven't found a way to turn off the AI from inviting folks to our staff private group. So every few days I have to go on the site to see how many non staff people were addd to the staff page and remove them.

Please don't feel bad when I delete you from the staff page as it is intended to be just communication amongst MDT Staff. And, the invite isn't from me even though it says it is. Many times you are invited when I am sleeping. It didn't use to do this until recently. - Michael

Bella and Lola successfully completed 8 private lessons with their mom Natasha. All 3 did great in training.

Bella and Lola went from barking at other dogs to being able to walk quietly past them and even calmly sniffed a couple of dogs. Natasha is now able to enjoy her walks with them!

More pictures and videos to come.

On May 20, 2025, four Berkley School teachers training their dogs to be School Comfort Dogs with Michael Burkey at Michigan Dog Training, earned their Urban Canine Good Citizen title.

After students pass the CGC and Advanced CGC, they become eligible to test for the Urban CGC which includes walking on a loose leash amongst city distractions and performing other obedience skills. They all passed with flying colors! Congrats to all!!

It's been a pleasure working with Angie, Don and their Lab/Shepherd mix, named Jet. They completed MDT's 8 Private Lesson program and made so much progress in improving Jet's comfort around other dogs and improving his obedience.

Great job Angie, Don and Jet! They are now ready to come back to our Perfect Practice group classes for follow up training.
