“Melissa is a magician. During our private lessons, she patiently taught my husband and I to rethink our entire approach on dog behavior and it has been a game changer, not only for the obedience factor, but for the overall relationship with our pups. She helped us build a solid foundation thanks to her uncanny ability to answer the essential question of how and why every step of the way and continually shows us how to progressively level-up past the basics. Our home is ultimately filled with more love and less stress. There is no one else that we trust more with our pack. Every minute with Melissa has been wroth every penny and more.

“Melissa has worked with us and our new Aussie pup and we couldn’t be more pleased! In our six weeks of training sessions, we not only covered basic puppy training, but focused on cultivating a deep connection with our new pack member. We were nervous to be new puppy parents and she helped calm our fears and has given great advice throughout the training sessions. Melissa has a beautiful energy about her and works intuitively with our pup. She takes the time to connect with him and cares about him and his progress. With her vast knowledge and experience, she is able to give us tailored advice based on his needs and personality and she emphasizes that each dog is unique and will have different needs. Her approach to training has left us feeling empowered and capable as new puppy parents. Our pup looks forward to “Aunt Melissa” training sessions and we are so grateful for the help and training she has provided. We highly recommend Melissa!”

“Melissa is not only a dog trainer, but a human trainer too! She has a unique ability to understand dogs in a way where she can relay it to people. By doing this she helps you not only teach your dog things but she changes your life and mind on how to look at your dog, connect, and see their full potential as a partner in crime. My connection to my dogs has changed drastically since I got to work with her and my understanding of my companions is so much more in depth than ever before. They are motivated to learn and listen to me so much better now that I have established the bond that Melissa was able to help me create. She understands each individual dog/breed so thoroughly that a whole new door of understanding and connection is possible. We get dogs in our lives to provide playfulness, love, snuggles, and companions- but what we don’t realize is that with the right information all of those parts of having a dog can become even stronger. We can also create reliable relationships to where we can trust they will look at us for what to do in the situations that we need them to the most, when we need them to listen they actually will with the right training and bond! I recommend her over anyone I’ve ever worked with, she is the best!!!!”
