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 were looking for a trainer who is certified, experienced, confident and offered a training program suitable for our needs. Michele offered these and much more. We were able to spend time at her training site so she could evaluate our puppy, but also so we could talk with her to get a sense of her approach. Michele is firm with her style and expectations and she will tell you why. She did a wonderful job explaining every technique and worked with both myself and our puppy to be sure we understood what we were supposed to do. I highly recommend her for your training needs.

First off, Michele and her work with dogs is amazing. She truly understands how dogs think and explains everything she does thoroughly. We adopted our three year old terrier-cattle dog mix Marlow at the end of December and less than a month later we were working with Michele (using the relationship builder course) to get her over her fears and hesitation. Marlow quickly picked up on what we wanted from her, and she quickly became the best dog we could have ever hoped for. Michele truly loves her work and is there to help you with anything you could possibly need. She is even available to you outside of lessons to answer any question you might have, which is enormously helpful. We are better dog owners and Marlow is a better dog, all thanks to Michele.

Gemma learned a lot from training, but my husband and I learned far more. The tools and skills Michelle provided are invaluable, and we are so grateful we used her program. Her step by step approach allowed us to see progress, but not feel overwhelmed, and ensured Gemma was successful. The learning process is never-ending, but Gemma is doing great! Thanks for everything!

Michele did an amazing job with our very stubborn beagle. Our dog now listens and obeys, and we love our dog again! We are thankful beyond measure for all of Michele's help!

Wonderful training! My 5 year old rescue Khloe was aggressive and "bossy" - Michelle helped us both with the skills to shift the balance of control to me, making Khloe a happier, more relaxed dog than ever! Better results than I could have imagined possible! Look forward to working with Michelle in the future, she is a treasure for pet lovers!
