I get fast and long lasting results, without breaking the bank! Watching the look on a clients face when their dog has conquered their toughest problem. They just light up and are so filled with pride, it really makes my job so satisfying.

We LOVE Melissa. She is full of life and education with the training of dogs AND their owners 😄. We rescued a 2year old Pit Bull who does not know her own strength, within 20 of our very FIRST session, our 9 year old daughter was loose leash walking her! Absutley blew us away, she is VERY reasonable priced in comparison to most trainers, and full of talent! I have already referred my friends to her! You will NOT be disappointed! Thanks Melissa! See you tomorrow

Melissa is so good with my dog. She is firm but also nurturing. My pup responds to her well. I plan to keep up the training for awhile

Melissa is absolutely wonderful! The minute she walked through the door my dogs went into their incessant barking fit. It was such a relief not to feel judged but understood. Melissa knows how dogs think/learn, and everything she has taught me and my dogs has been extremely effective. My dogs were behaving better after the first lesson! My dogs are older (8 years) so I was worried training may be difficult, but not at all! The key is patience and consistency! I highly recommend Melissa!!

Melissa does an excellent job with our dog. She understands him, stays in control and makes sure both we and our dog are ready to move forward with each step during our training sessions.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I decided to start dog training while working at Petco. My passion for animals (especially dogs) and helping others really drew me to training. I can use my understanding of different methods of reinforcement from my degree in psychology to help those who love their animals as much as I love mine.
