One of the best decisions I have ever made is to hire Modern Manners Dog Training for help with my unruly but beloved Pixie. Michelle's compassionate and knowledgeable training methods worked great with my pup, and best of all, with me! Pixie and I absolutely loved our training sessions and "homework assignments." It brought us so close together, and really helped to cement our already strong bond.

I cannot recommend Michelle from Modern Manners enough! My 100lb Catahoula mix is highly reactive and anxious, and I came into training feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to help him. Michelle immediately provided top-notch advice and walked me through the proper steps to begin easing him out of that negative behavior. Through hard work, consistency, and her expert guidance, we finally started to see real progress. In just six sessions, she helped my dog make noticeable improvements that I truly didn’t think were possible so quickly.
