Customer Reviews
Our dog, Cosmo, has spent the past few months completing the therapy dog program at Michael’s Angel Paws. We began with a group beginner training course, continued with private advanced obedience sessions, and concluded with the group therapy dog class. Our trainer, Fabi, is an exceptional instructor for both dogs and their handlers. Under her guidance, Cosmo made tremendous progress and successfully passed his therapy dog evaluation, thanks to his hard work and consistent training. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Michael’s Angel Paws by participating in events where therapy dogs can make a positive impact and by bringing Cosmo to schools to share his calm and friendly presence. - Las Vegas, NV - December 2025
- Andrea LWe recently completed the Advanced Obedience Training with Mr. Matt at Michael’s Angel Paws, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress my puppy Molly has made. From day one, Mr. Matt has been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping both dogs and their humans succeed. Molly has gained so much confidence and control, and I’ve learned how to be a more effective and supportive dog mom thanks to his guidance. Mr. Matt truly has a gift for animal training, and his passion shows in every session. We’re so grateful for everything he’s done to help Molly thrive. And we’re excited to continue our journey with Michael’s Angel Paws. Highly recommend Mr. Matt and Michael's Angel Paws to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog training! - Las Vegas, Nevada - September 2025

Fabiola is an exceptional trainer—knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about the work. She took the time to truly understand our goals and our dog’s personality, helping us build confidence and strengthen our bond every step of the way. Her guidance made all the difference in preparing us for real-world therapy settings. Thanks to this incredible team, we feel well-equipped and excited to begin our journey as a certified therapy dog team.
