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 are so glad we went to Loyal Start with Michele with our 10-week old rescue puppy. As first-time puppy parents, our first day of puppy preschool was so eye-opening. Our puppy had fearful tendencies and we learned how to properly socialize and correct her bad behaviors. We were even able to significantly reduce play biting after the first day! We continued with obedience training in the Relationship Builder class and are so glad we did. Not only has our puppy learned good behaviors but we have learned how to properly train and correct and were given confidence in our own training capabilities. We highly recommend Michele's Puppy Preschool and Relationship Builder classes! We don't know where we would be without them.
Update: Millie is now 8 months old and we are still so glad that we went to Loyal Start Dog Training! Millie has grown so much and watching her gain confidence has been a joy. We still use all of Michele’s training techniques we learned in our classes. I know that we wouldn’t have such a confident and well mannered dog without these classes and training. Millie had pretty extreme fearful tendencies (and still takes awhile to warm up to new things) but we feel so much better prepared knowing how to handle those situations. You won’t regret any of Michele’s classes! Such a great lifetime investment.

My 7 year old Boxer rescue and I just completed our classes. The results have been amazing and we are extremely happy with the results. Michelle took the time to answer any and all of my questions and the bad behaviors have been replaced with positive actions.
I highly recommend Michelle and thank her for training ME!

Michelle has been such a HUGE blessing to us! We fell in love with an adorable puppy and were beyond overwhelmed by the behaviors that come with a puppy. Michelle has given us the tools to help him become an amazing addition to our family. The training, tips and continued availability of her as a resource post lessons is truly a gift to our family!

In just 5 sessions she was able to give us the tools we needed to build our relationship with our puppy. You can see the confidence he has when we give him a command

I would recommend Michele to any dog owner! My dog absolutely loved going in every week and learning. In just a few short weeks she was able to pick up on so many skills that are beneficial in almost any setting. Michele is always so quick to respond and help you and your dog learn in the best way possible.
