About
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

After one session, we saw noticeable improvements in our dog's behavior. Melissa is very responsive and helped us with some bad behavior we were seeing. She showed real concern. She's also great with my daughter who wants to ge involved in the process.

The lady knows her stuff. She explains the exercise or correction and even though this was with a very strong pup, he was never hurt and \never whimpered. Patience was the key.

Melissa is great! She worked with my 2 very active dogs & was very patient. Training was only one day, she managed to answer all of our questions & I already see a big difference.

the only regret I have is that I didn't do this sooner! Melissa is the perfect trainer for us, she involves the whole family. teaches you in a way dogs can understand and builds your self-confidence along the way. Thank you Melissa , its been 3 visits and we have learned sooo much.

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.
