Hello I would like to get a pet therapy certificate to go to nursing homes etc for a dog that I am thinking of adopting. Do you offer these classes? Thanks Leslie M
Yes we do! We recommend taking our obedience courses (starting with Beginner thru Advanced). A couple months prior to the evaluation we offer a 4 week Therapy Dog Prep class. The evaluation is held once a year in either late May or early June.

How old does your puppy need to be to start training and do they need all shots first?
The puppy class says you can start as early as 8 weeks- 6months that's for the puppy class and then the beginner obedience they have to be 6 months or older and yes you need proof they are up to date on vaccines

Michelle has such a way of teaching dog training, makes any command into something very easily understood and followed by both owner and dog. She includes basic tricks with all the training so turns into fun for all. My dog and I have been 'students' for almost 2 years. From agility to regular training always learning something new and having fun doing it. A great way to spend quality time with my dog!
I had rescued two older dogs ages 8 and 5 who needed to learn some manners. I.brought them to Michelle Alexander for 6 weeks and they loved going! Her facility is great...both indoor and outdoor. She worked with them and with me and taught us skills to practice at home that were easy and fun. I would recommend Patience Dog Training to everyone with a new (or old) dog!
Michelle was most helpful with my shep mix who was socially awkward and afraid of her own shadow.
