On 3/17/25, Michael Burkey, owner of MDT and BARON gave a Service Dog Presentation to about 30 cub scouts and their parents in Southgate, Michigan. BARON is being trained as a Mobility Assist Service Dog in MDT's Service Dog Board and Train program.

Many of the scouts knew what Seeing Eye Dogs were but not the other types of service dogs such as the ones trained by MDT: for clients who have Mobility issues, PTSD, Autism, and Medical/Hearing/Diabetic Alert.

The scouts asked a lot of good questions as well as their parents. It was an enjoyable time of learning for everyone.

Congratulations to Jasmine Szabo and her dog Sapphira, a Labrador Retriever for passing the American Kennel Club's Advanced Canine Good Citizen (CGCA) Title.

Sapphira is such a sweet adorable girl. When she first started training in Private Lessons at Michigan Dog Training, she couldn't control herself when meeting people. She would jump all over them out of excitement. Now she has progressed from the basic Canine Good Citizen all the way up to the advanced title which includes multiple distractions of dogs and people in close proximity, leaving food alone on the floor, etc. The Urban CGC is her next goal. Congrats to both of you!

They then got to play with them during a "red light" / "green light" game that teaches them to become become still in a sit stay after being excited while playing to then again be able to play.

Congratulations to PENELOPE and her parents Amanda and Jacob for successfully completing MDT's E-Collar Off Leash Freedom group class program. They have done an excellent job!

The Off Leash Freedom group class enhances your dog’s basic obedience skills by incorporating the use of an electronic collar (E-Collar), resulting in improved reliability and off-leash freedom. This training program is designed for individuals who desire more than just loose leash walking. It aims to provide owners with a dog that responds when called, even when off-leash and amidst distractions, and displays proper etiquette in simulated public settings.

It's a 7 week program consisting of a private in person lesson, 2 group zoom lessons, and four in person group lessons. Additionally, you receive a Dogtra E-Collar and access to videos by Michael. It's a great hybrid program of a private lesson, online learning and in person group classes. To learn more, check the link in the comments.

Tomorrow's group classes are cancelled due to the Winter Storm Warning that is to hit us at midnight. We will tack on at the end of the class series.

Private lessons in the afternoon with me are still on assuming they get the roads cleared. - Michael
