I would. He would soon put Lennon in his place. He'd likely scare Mya witless, though

I would as well. I like him. I like the fact that the dogs are his main concern, and not the owners. Some of the owners you see on Dog Borstal need a bloody good shake and need the firmness and education from him!

I've seen him reward quite a few times. He also teaches his owners the type of voice to use when praising.

Is it definitely the real Mic Martin, Shona?! That's exciting if it is! I'd seen the user name Mic Martin but didn't think it was him!

Met him in person at the Wag & Bone show in Windsor.
From the short meeting with my nutty pups I'd say he has a good sense of humour. (He let me have a photo taken with him with my Boxers to 'brag' to a Mic M fan, she was soooo jealous, LOL)
I think he doesn't suffer fools glady but just wants to make a difference with those who WANT to learn and correct their mistakes. It doesn't matter how long you've been in dogs you are always learning and some techniques/methods work better for different dogs and owners.
For me I'm no good with a clicker so do use my voice so his training methods may suit my 'cack handness'.

If I lived in the area he trained in yes I'd go to one of his courses. Would he appreciate my dogs well I doubt it but it would be good to improve my 'handling/training' for obedience...just could I cope with being bottom of the class each week?? I reckon I could if I could see improvement in myself and my dogs
