Hi, I’m Mike Meringolo, the founder of CUE 9. I’ve dedicated my career to helping families and their dogs live happier, more harmonious lives. With over a decade of experience in various roles—including working in animal shelters, large-scale training centers, and as a professional working dog handler—I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioral challenges.

As a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP) and a certified specialist in aggression and fear-free techniques, I take pride in combining modern, positive reinforcement methods with a deep understanding of canine behavior. My goal is to provide effective, customized solutions that work for your dog and your family.

On a personal level, I understand what it’s like to face challenges with your dog. As a dog owner myself, I’ve lived through the ups and downs of building trust, addressing behavioral issues, and achieving a balanced, rewarding relationship. That’s why I approach every training session with empathy, respect, and a commitment to helping you and your dog succeed.

At CUE 9 , we don’t just teach commands; we build connections. Together, we’ll create an environment where your dog can thrive and become a happy, well-mannered member of your family. I can’t wait to hear from you!
