Michelle is fantastic! We brought our 15-week old puppy to her at Pawmora. She provided specific tips and drills that within just three days generated remarkable improvement! In less than a week, our puppy was walking much better, and became able to stay focused during distracting times in the city. Michelle's ability to communicate with our dog, evaluate his needs, and build an effective training program has made all the difference (she also showed us specific training devices that have made our lives much easier!). In addition to obedience training, Michelle also took the time to ask us about how our pup behaves at home when he is not being trained. She is helping us develop a game plan to improve behavior, and already we can tell it will be super valuable. Beyond all this, Michelle is a lovely, kind person. We are so grateful to be working with her and could not recommend her more highly!

Michelle is truly exceptional, and I have entrusted her with the training of all my dogs from the time they were puppies. Her depth of knowledge, combined with her patience and kindness, sets her apart as a remarkable trainer. She has a unique ability to break down complex training concepts into clear, practical guidance that is easy to understand and apply. Her thoughtful approach not only helps dogs learn effectively but also empowers owners to build strong, lasting relationships with their pets. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I’ve known Michelle for 15 years, and asked for her help numerous times with my own dogs and other dogs with whom I’ve worked. She’s amazing! Her ability to read a dog’s body language, her calm demeanor and ability to communicate clearly with both humans and dogs is a true gift. Michelle didn’t stop there though, she pursues education with a fierceness that’s impressive, always looking for ways to help dogs and families more efficiently, more effectively. Michelle makes a difference with the families of shy or reactive dogs, but most of all, it’s her work to help puppies get off to the right start that impresses me the most. A family would be lucky to have Michelle on their side.
