"Michelle is a phenomenal trainer. She helped us teach our dog Misty very important skills that transformed our household dynamic’s for the better. Misty is now much calmer and knows how to properly greet guests- and we feel confident in our ability to continue training Misty in a respectful and loving manner. Michelle genuinely cares about our dog and her well-being, and is also very knowledgeable about dog behavior. We truly appreciated all of her guidance and professionalism. Cannot recommend Michelle enough!"

"My wife and I were struggling with a couple of issues with our rescue dog, and we had tried working with another trainer but it wasn’t working out well. Michelle was incredibly professional and responsive. She helped diagnose what was happening with our dog and crafted a training plan for us that has been working great. We would highly recommend working with Michelle."
