Michael Carpenter

Canine Coach

NePoPo® Gold School Graduate


My passion for the last nine years has been studying all aspects of dog training, from sport to pet dogs.  I began by training my personal dogs to compete in a dog sport called IGP, and my desire to excel in the sport led me to study some of the best dog trainers in the world.  In 2016, I attended the first part of the NePoPo® Dog training school and graduated in 2017, which led me to transition to helping people train their dogs in pet obedience and various types of aggression.  By joining Michael's Angel Paws, I have been able to help with the Assistance Dog training, which is a very important and much-needed aspect of dog training.

Matthew Fike

Canine Coach

Animal Behavior Certificate, Moorpark College

American Kennel Club CGC Evaluator

I began my training career in 2010 at Moorpark College’s Exotic Animal Training and Management program, where I discovered that my true passion was training itself, regardless of species. After graduating in 2012 with certificates in Animal Behavior, Training, and Wildlife Education, I worked in animal education and shows at Underwood Family Farms while also training dogs with Petco and through private in-home sessions.


In 2015, I became a Nature Science Specialist at Woodland Hills Private School, helping develop an animal science curriculum while continuing private dog training. Over time, it became clear that working with dogs was where I felt most fulfilled. I transitioned to dog training full-time with a special focus on Therapy and Service Dogs and am proud to be part of the Michael’s Angel Paws team.
