Training dogs since 2006. We are not a franchise or a chain. You work directly with the trainer from start to finish.
✔ Your dog learned to listen to you when it’s most important, not just when they feel like it?
✔ Walks with your dog were enjoyable instead of a literal drag and you didn’t need to avoid other dogs or critters?
✔ Your dog was a model citizen instead of “that dog” causing a scene around guests, at breweries and patios, or wherever you take them?
✔ You had unlimited follow ups to be sure your dogs training success is there for the long term

Our training his simple and straight forward. We want long term success for owners and their dogs. With our tried and tested programs we can get your dogs results.
Not every dog is the same. We work with the dog in front of us. We will work you and your dog at your pace and your learning style. This results in the best dog training experience you can't get any where else in St George utah
My goal is to make the dog training hard to fail. With that, life long support is included with all training programs. This includes one on one visits and access to our famous group walks available in Southern Utah and Salt Lake County, Utah
"I did the group training class with Michael at Lobato Dog Training. Would highly recommend. Michael is a great teacher and my dog made enormous strides in those 6 weeks. And most importantly, I was trained on how to train so I can continue to support my dog with confidence for the rest of his life."
"Awesome!! My husband and I sent our Lucy to Michael for his board & train program. We were amazed at the transformation of our puppy!! She is so obedient. Taking her for walks and out and about on errands is a pleasure because of the way she has responded to Michael's training. We have since gone back to board Lucy a few times while we vacation. Lucy loves Michael❤️ He really is the best!!"
"We did the board and train with our puppy Hazel. She was highly reactive and a wild puppy that we were in over our heads with. Micheal had her for about five weeks and during that time we got lots of pictures and videos of Hazel doing her training. She is very well trained now but she still has her fun/crazy personality. Even after her t
"We did the board and train with our puppy Hazel. She was highly reactive and a wild puppy that we were in over our heads with. Micheal had her for about five weeks and during that time we got lots of pictures and videos of Hazel doing her training. She is very well trained now but she still has her fun/crazy personality. Even after her training, we are able to do follow up courses and group walks to keep her training up. I highly recommend him for training your puppy!"
"Michael is so incredible at training. We did the hybrid program where we did training for 2-3 weeks and then sent our pup, Georgie to stay with him for training for 2 weeks. Georgie was about 6 months old when we started training. He listens so well. “Place” and “Down” are our most used commands. With this training now we can take Georgi
"Michael is so incredible at training. We did the hybrid program where we did training for 2-3 weeks and then sent our pup, Georgie to stay with him for training for 2 weeks. Georgie was about 6 months old when we started training. He listens so well. “Place” and “Down” are our most used commands. With this training now we can take Georgie with us basically everywhere! To new houses and around new people and dogs, he’s the best listener and such a well behaved boy. We’re so grateful for all the work Michael put in!"

"Michael is an outstanding trainer of dogs (and their owners). He was recommended to us by a local breeder and worked with our three-month-old lab puppy for one month before we picked her up. He also gave us as owners three long training sessions to familiarize ourselves with her commands and learn to work with her. Michael taught our puppy to respond to a few simple, unique commands and showed us how to work with her and continue her training. The result has been a remarkably well behaved puppy in public and private. Michael is not only experienced and knowledgeable, but obviously loves the dogs in his care. He was always responsive, direct, thoughtful, and clear in his dealings with us, including when responding to our follow up questions and giving us ongoing advice. As first-time dog owners bringing a dog raised in a suburban environment into the heart of New York City, we were very anxious about our dog's ability to adapt and behave, and our own ability to care for and manage a high-spirited dog. Michael helped us meet both of these significant challenges. We are highly satisfied and recommend his services without reservation."
"I cannot brag enough about the amazing transformation of our doodle, all because of the work Labato Dog Training did!
Our pup was about two years old, we had a baby just come home from the NICU and I was STRESSED! How was my hyper doodle going to mesh with a new baby lying on the floor or sitting in a swing. When I say hyper… I mean cons
"I cannot brag enough about the amazing transformation of our doodle, all because of the work Labato Dog Training did!
Our pup was about two years old, we had a baby just come home from the NICU and I was STRESSED! How was my hyper doodle going to mesh with a new baby lying on the floor or sitting in a swing. When I say hyper… I mean constant whipping tail, would crawl under your skin to be even closer to you, kind of hyper. We had done a previous puppy training with a very popular training company and it was trash. It didn’t work for her at all. So, we decided to go all in and sign her up to stay with LDT for a month. We got her back and she was a new, respectful, well-behaved dog. We were floored! She was so eager to listen for the next command, but in a patient way. We no longer feared letting her off-leash outside. The absolute most satisfying part, is when people come over to our house and after an hour of being here they notice we have a dog! “Oh my gosh, I didn’t even see her there, she’s so well trained”. “What?? She’s been sitting there this whole time?”. Yep, she doesn’t react to guests or strangers when laying on her bed in the family room, right in the middle of the action! It’s been over a year now and because of his amazing training and our consistency, she is still perfectly trained! Worth every penny and we will do it for every dog we have in the future!"
