I don't usually write reviews, but I'd be remiss if I didn't share how thrilled I am at the progress my 9 month old Ridgeback has made after attending just a few classes with Melinda. Her training methods are effective, fun for both the dog and owner, and achieve noteworthy results. Before Melinda, I think the only word my dog knew for sure was "no", but because I said it all the time, it meant nothing to him. It's amazing to see the understanding in his eyes now as he responds to commands and how attentive he is during our walks/training sessions. Melinda has a wealth of knowledge and helpful tips that I happily drive an hour each way to hear. If you're looking for a trainer, look no further than M Squared. I just signed up for another package and can't wait to see what we learn next.

Melinda is awesome, very knowledgeable and our sessions are extremely productive. Classes are fun, and most importantly they are small, so everyone gets individual time. Would recommend her classes to anyone.

If you’re looking for quality, professional, and successful training, Melinda Moss at M Squared Dog Training is the absolute best! I have been looking for the right fit for my Border Collie puppy and myself for best training experience and glad we found a home at M Squared. We went through puppy training and now continuing on for the dog agility experience. In short time my constantly distracted Border Collie has adjusted to becoming a good citizen attentive dog. Melinda's kindness, professionalism, talent, and knowledge really helped shaped my puppy (and me!) for future training endeavors. There is a clear difference in my Border Collie in short term. He can still be a distracted busy dog but now he listens well and definitely knows the response when asked. I really enjoyed working with this trainer and look forward to more opportunities to do so.

I started Agility classes with Mel almost a year ago, and am so happy I chose the M Squared family! Classes are laid back, FUN and every handler/dog team gets a lot of personal attention. My dog has come such a long way since we started at M Squared and I can't thank Mel enough for her patience and guidance this past year. Mel is incredibly adept at working with handlers and dogs of different levels, and providing different techniques to bring out the best in everyone. I highly recommend M Squared to anyone, whether you are looking for agility classes, or manners/obedience classes.
