From GoogleWhat 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.

We adopted a 6 month old puppy from the humane society and were nervous we had missed out on his “window” of instilling good behaviors and habits. Michelle taught us how to slow down our dog’s thinking to allow for understanding and obedience to new commands. Cooper went from a high energy puppy with a mind of his own to a calm, smart, and mature dog who understands right from wrong and recognizes the alpha in the house. Michelle is an amazing teacher and works well with both the dogs and the owners. She makes herself available for questions or advice even outside of the sessions you attend. I would highly recommend her services if you are thinking of adding a furry member to your family or need to build a better foundation for a dog you already have!
My dog is much better behaved since taking her to Loyal Start
Michele was great to work with! She answered any questions I had and explained things thoroughly. Her lessons helped my dog Georges become more calm and we became more in tune with each other. It was such a great experience and I would recommend her for your training needs. I’ll miss going to the classes where both Georges and I learned so much.
I’ve seen a lot of improvement in Teddy since we’ve started our training lessons. Mainly with the leash pulling and excessive barking. Michele shows you the foundations of training and it’s up to you to follow through in order to achieve success. She is there every step of the way, answering questions and providing tips when needed. I highly recommend her training program!
