Meet the Trainer

My name is Michael Wombacher. I’m an author, lecturer, and dog trainer for San Francisco Bay Area celebrities and families, with over 20 years of hands-on training experience.
For instance, I’ve trained dogs for Charles Schwab, Robin Williams, Sharon Stone, Barry Levinson, Joe Satriani, Bob Weir, Linda Ronstadt, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Kirk Hammet of Metallica.
In addition, I’ve performed over 15,000 in-home behavioral consultations—including hundreds for expecting parents.
I’ve also been certified as an expert on dog behavior by the California Superior Court, and been featured on Fox 5 Television’s “Good Day New York,” San Francisco’s Channel 7 News, San Francisco’s View From the Bay, Animal Planet, as well as other television and radio programs nationwide. My work has also been showcased in major national magazines, including Fit Pregnancy, Dog World, Boston Whaler, and National Geographic Magazine.
I’ve put all of this experience into an easy-to-understand training course, designed specifically for you, the expecting (or recent) parent and dog owner—so that your dog and baby get along beautifully. The result? Good Dog, Happy Baby, an e-book and companion audio course based on over 20 years of hands-on experience.
Through principles of positive reinforcement as well as through methods that appeal to your dog’s canine sensibilities, Good Dog, Happy Baby will teach you how to prepare your home and dog for any situation, so that from the day of birth forward, your dog will behave perfectly and become your child’s best friend.
