What people have asked about this business.

Are you a service dog trainer If so what is the general range of cost for training

I would like to know more about your dog? While I have been trained for Service Dog Training, I mainly focus on obedience and then Therapy dog work and some service dog training but for more intensive Service Dog Training, I refer out to another organization.

After just one class, we are so excited about everything we are learning!

Michelle is amazing! She was so gentle but firm with our pup Gretzky while teaching us to work together! Our boy was a challenge to take on walks because he would pull and try to go everywhere. Now I feel comfortable taking him anywhere! We get compliments whenever I take him out on how well behaved he is!

I wish I could give Michelle a ten star because she is amazing! Not only did she help my American Bulldog rebuild her trust towards men but she ended up helping me be more confident when walking my dog in public. It was so much more than just training for my dog, she helped us rebuild our close bond. I was nervous about the kennel training but after reassurance from Michelle, we went through with it and I AM SO GLAD. My weekends have become so much more flexible and its so easy to ask friends to stop by to let her out when I am gone and my dog has a safe space now. Michelle knows what she is doing. She's trustworthy and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Michelle was very professional. Very prompt in returning our emails when we had questions, honest about our dogs’ breed and what behaviors can be expect… the good and the not so good, and how we as the owners were handling her. Before we brought our Dutch shepherd to her she was unruly. Our dog took us for walks not us taking her. She would jump up on us, pick on the grandkids and become aggressive towards other dogs. She now sits when told, doesn’t pick on the grandkids, will leave and drop objects, and come when told. We have learned how to handle her around other dogs making our outings enjoyable. Without Michelle’s help we would have a dog that we would not enjoy. With her help our dog is enjoyable and a great member of the family.
