She is fabulous! I hope she gets to the finals. great work with her and good luck.

Go Missy! You are GREAT! Best luck into making the finals! (You should win!)

Good Luck Missy- you are on your way to stardom!

What an awesome dog! Great camaraderie between Missy and her owner--you can tell she's really enjoying herself. She definitely has my vote!!

She is truly talented, nice work Missy, keep up the good work!

Missy is an outstanding dog. Once she wins this contest she deserves to be on the Greatest American Dog show. The bond between dog and owner is obvious. She has my vote!!!!

What great dog Missy is. I hope she will win the competition. She looks smart and very attentive to Mike's every word.

Amazing tricks! Loved to totem pole jump and obvious love of what she does. What a good girl! Great job with her, Mike!!

I'm going to grow up and have a great time like you Missy! You and Mike are a fabulous team! Go get 'um you two!

Is it just me, or is the owner pretending to be a different person, and writing down pleasant comments for a mediocre trick just five minutes apart?

To suspicious Commenter. I really dont have that kind of time to put into creating that many names. I also am not to the kind of person to resort to such tactics to win. I was urged to enter the competition by friends and family and did.

That is so awesome. Missy looks so willing to please her owner. GREAT JOB

Mike, Missy is awesome......she is definately a winner. Good luck to you both.

Suspicious Commenter, I don't think they judge on how many people write in or the comments they leave. Yes it seems many have commented 5 minutes apart, but how could one person do that. Friends may have been in on it though. Its judged on the vidio.

I'd have to agree with the supicious commenter, because I noticed that they are 5 mintues apart, but it also seems like most of these commenters aren't friends...so does he call unkown people and tell them to vote for thier dog?

I know both Mike and Missy and can vouch for the character of both--yes even the dog. Suspicious commenter needs to get a life. Who has time to document the time elapsed between comments? Mike, I hope all of your friends and fans comment.

My best friend's dog is deaf and Mike's training with him has been phenonemal...as is this video! The love and dedi- cation Mike & Missy have for each other speaks loud and clear as do the responses. Friends or not, what does it matter?

I have seen Missy in person, she is extremely talented!! Hands down, one of best trained dogs I have ever met. Suspicious/Spongebob- this is about awesome training of his four legged friend not about who you think may have posted comments...

Good luck Missy!! You look great out there!! My vote is for you!

First of all, you need't respond to someone like Suspicious Commenter; he or she apparently has entered a dog of less quality & talent. Secondly, you and Missy are an awesome duo. You've got my vote! Keep up the great work.

Good luck Missy! You're top dog in my book.

Wow.... in the web writings of Charlotte, that's "some dog" ... too cool... now if only my dog could do a tenth of that, I'ld be thrilled.

great work with missy michael ,her love for you and yours for her shows in her willingness to please

Missy is a great dog. You must have had a lot of patience training her. I give her a thumbs up and my vote. I hope she is in the finals! She's truly an amazing dog!

yeah Missy!!! you can really tell how Missy and Mike have bonded. Great job. I hope you two win!!!!!

I cant believe she can jump that high! Amazing! Good Luck!

Mike, so glad to see this happening for you and Missy! Thanks for all of your help with Anakin and Leia! I'm excited to see you both Friday morning on TV (I know you'll make it)! Good Luck and Much Love! Kelly

You got this!

AWSOME! i had to really think about who to vote for, i was torn between missy and that extremely intelligent dog that learned how to turn on the hose! but in the end missy gets my vote.

Hi Mike. Your dog is terrific. I hope she wins!

Great job and good luck to both you and Missy!

Go get 'em! Nice teamwork!

You have a pretty amazing dog--------hope you guys win!!!

BTW, the totem jump is AMAZING, she is brilliant!

Saw you guys on WINK and it was a tough choice, but Missy is the best! Good luck to you!

WOW !!! Why can't I do these tricks ? Guess I better talk to Jen ! Good Luck Mike and Missy....! ZOEY THE BEAGLE from Ft Myers

You have done a great job with Missy, I could only wish everyone had this dedication to their dogs. Good Luck to you and Missy, you guys are a great team!!!

Amazing video! I was out of town so I missed the voting but I see she made it to the finals! She will win - great dog and trainer (looking forward to you training Madison!!!)

Missy and Mike, Yesterday was a blast for us. Good luck in the contest. Check out the link for the news segments: http://www.winknews.com/features/26414764.html

While Missy is a great dog, is it really fair to have a PROFESSIONAL dog trainer up against regular folks and their dogs?

Hey Mike , Just a shout out to wish you and Missy lots of luck!!! You guys are amazing!!!

I THINK WE HAVE THE WINNERS WITH MIKE & MISSY. ANYONE WHO PUTS THIS MUCH TIME INTO TRAINING A DOG PROFESSIONAL OR NOT HAS A REAL LOVE FOR ANIMALS. THEY ALWAYS SAY YOU SHOULD FIND A JOB YOU LOVE, THANKS FOR ENTERING..

It seems that " Wondering Watcher " and "Joe " are saying that professional dog trainers ARE NOT " real people " and should not be in this contest. Get a life BOYS ! Mike is a real person and his love of dogs shows in his work. GO MISSY !!!!!!

Good luck, Missy. The video was awesome; especially love the totem pole trick

hey missy, ..ignore any negative comments! We know we are SWFL's greatest dog anyway! Its based on all aspects, not just tricks. Good luck!

Awesome! I cannot see there is even a close runner to Missy! Go for the Gold Missy & Mike. Hands down my choice for 1st place!

Well, a pro dog trainer shouldn't really be running along with the other dogs, I mean, the other ones are showing that they have a real connection with their dog, rather than you learning how to connect with a dog.

Your horrible remark to the commenter of the time elapse was mean-spirited. Saying that they are angry, and they probably entered a dog of less quality! That's rude, and I don't know if I'll vote for this dog, I might go vote for the lesser dog!!!!!

wow your a good trainer. and that dog sure does love you. good job i hope you guys win. :]

Wow! I am so impressed. What more can I say?

Amazing, great job Missy
