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.

We brought our 9 month old (75lbs) German Shepherd, Ollie to Michele at Loyal Start and we are so happy we did. From the very first session Ollie was able to go on walks without pulling or trying to weave back and forth. Each session after that Michele helped us build a relationship with Ollie and focus on his skills and provide structure. Ollie is now a calmer and well-behaved 11 month old dog that we are proud to take out in public and get so many compliments!
If you are considering taking your dog to a trainer, contact Michele, you won't regret it!!

Michelle was our answer to prayer. Exactly what we were looking for. She didnt just work with our pup, she worked with us! She gave us the tools and confidence we need to help our dog be all that he can be. Whenever we have a problem, Michelle has practical ways to solve it. Our dog Goose, is reactive and fearful. Michelle has helped us make huge strides and build our confidence. I really dont know how we'd have gotten through the hardest parts without her. Our relationship with Goose is strong, in a large part, thanks to Michelle. I cannot recommend her enough!

Michelle was great to work with for both us and our dog! Our dog had behavioral issues regarding reactivity to other dogs and strangers. We've learned a lot about working through those situations and I'm excited to see our dog continue to progress!
