Olivia's Dog Training & More

A little over a year ago, we came across a car that advertised "Olivia's Dog Training & More" and life hasn't been the same since. Our girl Lilo immediately took to Michelle - which is a huge deal, because Lilo is very anxious, reactive and isn't comfortable around strangers. Michelle assisted with developing her social skills and gave us commands to practice for her overall behavior. We really value her knowledge! Additionally, we travel often, and at the time, aside from my immediate family members, no one took care of Lilo before...Michelle quickly became Lilo's "Aunty" - she comes by as many times as we need her (even in random emergencies - one time she came to our house late at night while we were away after I saw Lilo freaking out over a thunderstorm on our camera...she's also willing to come by if one of us has to stay late at work last minute, etc.) and if there's room available, sometimes Lilo gets to stay at Aunty's House - which is like a 5 star resort for dogs, to say the least. It's clean, she has a huge yard, and each animal stays in their own room with a TV and toys (she's very careful and doesn't let any of the animals she's watching cross paths - which is great for Lilo, who doesn't get along with other animals yet.) She always sends several pictures throughout the day with a message from Lilo so we're reassured she's doing okay. She even gives Lilo the opportunity to practice her social skills when she introduces new people to her team - and so far, everyone new Lilo has met so far has been great! (Especially Barb...who is Lilo's newest bestie.) Overall, Olivia's Dog Training & More has been great for us and Lilo - Michelle has become such a great friend who I trust with my whole heart to take the best care of our girl. Attached are some photos that were sent to us while we were on vacation (and one of Lilo finding Aunty's car in the neighborhood! She was so excited to see her.)

If I could give Olivia's Dog Training & More 100 stars, I would. Michelle trained our Dalmatian, Lorelai — and anyone who knows Dalmatians knows they are intelligent, strong-willed, and full of personality. Lorelai was not an easy dog to train. She is smart, spirited, and very much her own little person. Michelle was incredibly patient, calm, and consistent. She didn’t just train Lorelai — she took the time to teach us how to properly give commands, reinforce behaviors, and truly understand our dog’s personality instead of fighting against it. Because of Michelle’s expertise, dedication, and heart, Lorelai is now a wonderful, well-behaved, responsive dog. The transformation has been amazing to witness. Michelle’s professionalism, knowledge, and genuine love for what she does truly set her apart. We are beyond grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone who wants real, lasting results. Thank you, Michelle, for helping us bring out the best in Lorelai! — Frances & Family 🐾

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Olivia’s Dog Training and More! Michelle Bowden, the owner, is not only a personal friend but also someone I trust completely with our golden retriever, Dakota. We’ve used her boarding services, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Dakota absolutely loves running around in their huge fenced-in backyard — it’s like her own private playground! She boards in a camera-monitored private room where she can sleep comfortably on her own dog bed from home or on a cozy couch, which makes the transition so much easier for her. What truly sets Olivia’s Dog Training and More apart is the peace of mind they provide. Dakota is never left alone at night — there is always someone present in case of an emergency. That level of care and attentiveness is not something you find at every boarding facility, and it means everything to us. If you’re looking for a place where your dog will be treated like family, I highly recommend Olivia’s Dog Training and More. 🐾💛

I am absolutely delighted with the exceptional pet sitting services provided by Michelle at Olivia’s pet services! I recently left my two furry babies-Bellamy and Tokyo in her care while I went on vacation, and she exceeded my expectations. Not only did she send me regular photos and videos of them playing together and enjoying their time in their room, but I also appreciated her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring their well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in a safe and loving environment, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about their care. This was my first experience with Michelle, and I was impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I would highly recommend Michelle's pet sitting services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry family members. Her willingness to go above and beyond, such as even taking in my cat free of charge, is a testament to her exceptional character and dedication to providing outstanding care. Thank you, Michelle, for providing top-notch care for my babies and making my vacation stress-free! My babies love her too!! Haydee Torres Happy Customer! ♥️🐕
