Michael's Qualifications
Michael J. Accetta, your personal coach and instructor for all courses in Matador University, has spent the past 10 years training dogs. With a BT Animal Science degree with a concentration in Canine Management and Techniques and experience of training 12,000 dogs Michael has learned how to transform and teach owners and their dogs in the fastest way possible.
Training Both Ends of the Leash
Everyone deserves freedom with their dog and many people fall short because they don't look at the whole picture…dog training is a team effort. Michael created a coaching system around looking at both ends of the leash and focusing on what each side needs in order to succeed and grow their own skills regardless of their obstacles or limitations.

Real Life Experience
As a father of two dogs, one son, and a cat, Michael knows what it takes to juggle everything on your plate and STILL succeed in training. As a “crossover” trainer and a decade of education, Michael is full of skills, tips and tricks, advice and cautionary tales for any walk of life. Everything you could ever need in a trainer is only a phone call away with Michael as your coach.

What Real Customers Say About Matador Canine
"Working with Michael Accetta/Matador Canine over zoom has been fantastic! He really took the time to get to know us and our specific goals. He is clearly very passionate and excited about dog training, not only did I learn alot, but it was also so much fun!
We tried some of the things he told us to do the same night and my new rescue dog learned it right away. He also keeps our long term goals in mind (ex. dog sports) and gave us great tips to work in now to make it easier for us in the future."
