"After losing my 14 year old dog and leaving a hole in my heart, the opportunity came along to get a 20 month old standard poodle. After one walk with him I could not handle him due to several recent surgeries. Met with Mike and after a 4 week board and train, Copper came back well behaved, attentive and a pleasure to be part of our family. Mike’s attention to detail both in the business and training sessions were top notch! He kept me updated on the progress and was candid regarding his training. I was not accustomed to his pricing….but truly got everything that was expected…. Worth every dollar that I invested in Mike’s training of Copper. I wish more business owners were invested in making their company a true success. I know Mike will be successful. Fred and Copper"

"Mike is great!!! His training results are amazing and he takes the time to actually explain what works and why. He involves the owner and honestly shows you that most of training an animal is properly educating the owner. He offers many progressing levels of trading from basic obedience, advanced obedience, all the way to bite work. He has helped our Doberman, helped us be better owners, and educated us to better train and work out our animal. Very much worth it."

"We have nothing but rave reviews for Mike and his team. We adopted a Yorkshire mix that had been terribly abused and immediately started training with Mike. This poor dog had spent the first 9 months of her life tied up, not groomed and out of control. After 2 months of training we have a dog that responds to commands and really, is much happier and more relaxed. Mike's take on training is so kind and psychologically accurate that he needn't raise his voice to respond. Our dog absolutely loves him! I am not kidding. She starts crying if she even sees his truck! I have had a lot of dogs in my life. I can tell you that Mike and his staff are the best dog trainers I have ever encountered."

"We brought home a 5 month old German Shepherd named Louie in March 2022. He is intelligent, handsome and eager to learn, but he lacked social skills and even though this is not our first German Shepherd, we were in need of some professional guidance to maneuver his socialization. We were so pleased to have found Cape Fear K9 and to meet with Mike to assess Louie and his needs. Mike was very accommodating with our work and life schedules. After a couple sessions, we knew Mike was the trainer to help Louie, as well as to help us learn a new way of understanding our dog. We couldn't be more impressed with how Louie matured after his stay with Mike. We learned as much as Louie did! Mike is very kind, very knowledgeable, and obviously loves dogs! Sometimes after Mike would explain to us a process he uses ... our jaws would drop in wonderment on how his process works so well for Louie and for us. If you are looking for a REAL professional trainer to help you with your dog, or if you need to learn more yourself, or maybe try something new with your dog, Mike is the ONE! Thanks to Cape Fear K9, we are going to get Louie involved in odor training with Mike and we can't wait to see our boy continue to blossom into the awesome dog he has become. Thank you Mike of Cape Fear K9 ... we will be seeing you soon!"

"After being pulled down by my 90 pound Boxer and suffering multiple injuries, I had given up on trying to walk Beauregard for months. Then I discovered Cape Fear K9 Academy, new to the BSL area. I gave Mike Cambers a call, and set up an appointment. This was the best move I ever made. Mike is so in tune to dogs’ psyche, has a very different approach, instilled confidence in me, and helped me understand my dog in order to form a much better bond with him. I followed Mikes instructions at home, and continued to work with Beau. After a few weeks, my husband and I decided to take him to Southport, as Beau had not been out in public for years because of his misbehaving. We went to AFC on a Friday afternoon with every intention of leaving in a few minutes. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! He was like a totally different dog! He did not pull or tug through all those people and other dogs! People actually remarked at how obedient he was, just sitting at our feet for hours! People pet him, and he just sat there! It was AMAZING! I could never thank Mike enough, nor could I say enough about his ability to help problem dogs. He has changed our lives so much for the better!"
