Pluto's Pals Pet Care

My dog Maggie was almost 9 months old when I got her from a rescue. She was wild and wiggly and had no understanding of any commands. But I figured as she matured she’d settle down and I would have a handle on her. After 3 months passed I realized Maggie needed more than I could provide her when it came to helping her reach her full potential. At home she was fairly calm but if I had visitors or took her out in public things would quickly escalate. She is a social butterfly, not aggressive but hyper. She approached everyone with an enthusiastic jump nearly knocking them down. She had rude social behavior with both people and other dogs. Walking her on a leash was difficult as she pulled hard in every direction. With her constantly jumping on people, tugging at their clothes, biting them for attention and ignoring my commands I was at a loss as to how to stop her awful behavior. I became mentally & physically stressed always trying to control my dog and living a life of chaos. But then, I met Michelle and EVERYTHING changed! I enrolled Maggie in the 3-week boot camp at Pluto’s Pals and it was the best decision I’ve ever made for my dog! From my first conversation with Michelle I knew she is genuinely invested in every dog she works with. She took the time to listen to my concerns as well as explain her approaches. Not only does Michelle have extensive quality training but she has a true understanding of the reasons behind a dog’s behavior. She holds the keys to changing that behavior and bringing out the very best in a dog. Not only did Maggie emerge as a shining star after training but we as dog owners benefited as well. Michelle equipped us with the tools necessary to continue a structured life for Maggie which in turn enriched our lives together as a family. She is the same sweet, vibrant girl we love but has a new calm, obedient, patient disposition about her. We can now walk her with ease, have company over without chaos and have peace of mind knowing she’s living a life that’s safe and secure. We look forward to watching her grow and learn even more in future training sessions with Michelle. Pluto’s Pals has also become Maggie’s home-away-from-home if I need to travel without her. She has such a total blast every time she reunites with her pack! It’s so comforting knowing she’s getting the best care. Thank you Michelle for bringing out the best in our pup!

When I say Michelle is one in a million, I mean it. She will always put your dog first and educate you on how to enhance your pup for a better future. Bono adores going to Pluto’s and I LOVE when he returns as he is normally bouncing off the walls, but instead returns home to me well mannered and sleeps for a day! You’ll see the confidence in your dog soar and learn instinctive skills our modern lifestyle inhibits. I board and daycare Bono without hesitation, knowing he is able to socialise all day unlike other boarding facilities that isolated until a 30 minute play time is due. From zooming in the yard, stomping his paws on pack walks to splashing in the pool and cooling off in the house on the tile or sofa. They are monitored 24/7 and have freedom to roam, socialise or crate themselves for alone time whenever they want. (Plus Michelle monitors when a nap is needed for Bono as he would play all day!) It’s the closest if not better than home as he gets to snuggle with all his pack pals. Seeing Bono be a confident, sociable pup around balanced and beautifully mannered pack members is a feeling I don’t tire from. I’ll always be thankful that I met Michelle at a local pet fest and cannot recommend her services enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I usually don't leave reviews. I figured who reads them? However, I am hoping at least ONE family reads mine and chooses Pluto's Pals Pet Care. We recently moved down to Celebration from Ohio. Our pup went to daycare 4-5 times a week. He loved the interaction with other dogs and had his favorite humans too! Making the transition was tough being that I could not find a doggy daycare that met our needs. We needed Grey to run have fun and come home tired! After 4 months of scheduled visits, questions and reading reviews I FINALLY found Pluto's Pals. The vetting process was deep and took a while. Michelle's level of expectation is top notch. Her love for dogs and their well-being was evident from the start. Our GreyBae was accepted by her right away and he decided that she was HIS too! Little did we know, Grey had many issues including anxiety, food insecurity and alpha confusion! Her knowledge of the canine psyche is impressive. Grey's behavior has changed so much. We just thought he was a nut job after he came into the world so sickly. Over the past 4 weeks, we have come to know and love our Grey in a new way! Michelle has worked with him individually and with her beloved Pack. His anxiety has decreased; he respects his human family now. She has educated us about the Canine Triangle (Trust-Respect-Love) which was off-balance in our household before we met her! Grey now obeys, shows respect and has accepted us as Alpha's rather than "The stupid humans!". In addition to the consistent training, the Pack play, go on walks, swim in the pool and have downtime with snacks and naps. I could go on and on but I suggest that you reach out to Michelle at Pluto's Pals Pet Care for a conversation. You will discover a great daycare and a wonderfully loving person who will not only exhaust but educate you and your pup!

First of all let me start off saying I was recommended to Plutos Pals through a co-worker and at the time put it off. Once I decided to make the call it honestly was the best decision I have made for my family including Gilmore (our dog) that I could have made. Michelle was fantastic, not only did she prepare us for what would happen and help us along the way she did the hard work getting Gilmore there. We struggled with a rescue dog who was aggressive, fearful and had a bite history even biting my adult son to the point he needed stitches. We love Gilmore and at this point really wanted to save him as he was a part of our family. Michelle showed us that our dog was indeed a dog worth saving. Gilmore after spending 6 weeks with Michelle is a different pup, he is respectful, loving and happy. He is relaxed and enjoys his home cats and all. He is no longer the dog we fear of biting someone or attacking another dog, he listens, is well disciplined and the way Michelle uses dog Phycology is amazing. She is by far the best, most patient, loving of all her dogs, caring person I have met when it comes to dogs. Not only has she always made herself available, she cares, she loves our dog and he cares deeply for her. A relationship I hope that will continue as we bring him for pack days! I highly recommend the investment although can seem daunting because its expensive, her training program changed our life, our dogs life and has allowed us to have a great dog as part of our family! Thank you Michelle! Gilmore misses you!
