The Path to a Well-Behaved, Confident Dog.
Whether you’re looking for a well-mannered companion or need help addressing more serious behavioral issues, our Bootcamp Program is designed to deliver lasting results. Over 3 to 6 weeks, your dog will experience a structured environment where daily, one-on-one training focuses on building obedience, confidence, and reliable behavior in real-world situations.
For owners looking to improve basic obedience, we focus on creating a dog that listens consistently — no matter the distraction. For those dealing with behavior challenges such as reactivity, anxiety, or aggression, our tailored approach helps reset your dog’s mindset, teaching them how to handle triggers calmly and confidently.
This comprehensive program includes daily training, enrichment, socialization, and clear communication to create a balanced dog that thrives in everyday life. Throughout the program, you'll receive regular video updates and detailed feedback, allowing you to stay connected to your dog's progress. After the program, you’ll also get lifetime support to ensure your dog’s success continues.

About Tietz K9
Mike Tietz
With a strong foundation in animal behavior and a passion for working with dogs, I bring a unique perspective to every training case.
I spent over five years as a professional zookeeper, where I worked with a variety of exotic animals like sloths, hyenas, lions, and primates — giving me a deep understanding of natural instincts and communication. This background sharpened my ability to read behavior and tailor training to each dog’s individual drives and motivations.
After discovering my love for K9s during my time at the zoo, I transitioned fully into the dog training world, focusing on behavior modification, obedience, and creating lasting change for both pets and working dogs. Today, I stay active as a training decoy for police K9s and sport dogs, and I also compete in French Ring with my own personal dog.
