We came to Michele with our rambunctious GSD puppy, Roxie, who loved to pull on our walks. She was walking me for sure!

We came to Michele with our rambunctious GSD puppy, Roxie, who loved to pull on our walks. She was walking me for sure! I'd read a couple books on training, and we were doing well at home with no distraction. However, I lost all control when she saw a squirrel on a walk or a car went by. I couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Loyal Start Dog Training. There's a night and day difference between the pup that pulled me around Michele's yard before our first training session and the well behaved dog that just received her graduation certificate! Michele gave me the confidence to teach Roxie - something I couldn't get from simply reading a book. The skills she implements throughout training build on each other, and the result is a well mannered, happy dog. I highly recommend Michele! I'm forever grateful - and so is Roxie!
Absolutely amazing results! In addition to teaching us how to train our rescue dog with commands, Michele was also able to create solutions and responses that we could use to help our dog overcome some anxiety and behavior issues. Michele was not only available for our one-on-one private sessions but she also was happy to respond to our questions and concerns via text or call. Highly recommend!
Michelle knows what she is doing, practical, and loving!
Michele is amazing!!! So happy i called her!!
