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.

Our 8 year old pitbull was having a hard time adjusting to our move to a new house in a new part of town. She was starting to act out toward visitors to our new home. We were worried about her and didn't know exactly what would become of our puppy dog! It was a hard place to be in. I tried to convince myself that I was just overreacting and that things would get better, but we just couldn't shake our worries. We contacted Loyal Start and started working with Michele and we are so glad we did! IT WAS AMAZING. We have seen such positive results and our dog is relaxed and happier than ever. We are in control and she gets to enjoy her new home with us. We have a positive outlook and are so glad we invested in our dog. It was well worth it. Thanks, Michele!

Max was our first puppy who wasn't able to be as socialized and trained as we would have liked when he was little. He developed serious anti-social behaviors that could turn aggressive around other humans and especially other dogs. But Michele helped us help him. It had never even occurred to me that the most vital part of training your dog is training yourself. My husband and I are learning to be better pet owners, and because of that, Max is learning to be a better dog. So grateful for the lifelong lessons learned with Michele!

Thank you Michele Green & Loyal Start Dog Training! After my sweet “Buffy” passed away 2 years ago we adopted a new family member. We had “Sugar” for two years and really just taught her the basics like sit, speak, etc. Being a small business owner I felt like I was gone so much and really neglecting Sugar. She seemed to be sleeping the days away, just bored I think. My goal is to have Sugar come to work with me at the store. We have come a long ways towards that goal! Sugar has learned to stay in her “place” and to really look to me for direction. We are still working on the extended sit and polishing some of her doggie skills. Michele has been wonderful! She is very professional and has taught us great doggie manners! Michele has great customer service and checks in frequently. I am close to my long term goal and would highly recommend Loyal Start! Michele answered all my questions from the littlest thing up to bigger problems. We worked at my speed, which is slow at times. Sugar has a new spark to her and seems to have new purpose. Thanks again!
