About
I am a professional dog trainer with over 35 years of experience working with dogs of all levels, including rescue dogs, and dogs with behavioral and aggression issues. I have attended a formal training program and my training utilizes positive reinforcement techniques in a natural way. Training consists of private lessons, group classes, and a board and train program. Please Note: Board and Train programs are priced according to the needs of the dog, and the level of training to be accomplished. The board and train program consist of 2 weeks board/training and a private lesson with the owner once the dog is fully trained. This may be modified depending upon the needs of the dog/owner. I am available on short notice, pricing is dependent upon the service rendered. My prices are reasonable and I can create a package to accommodate your pet(s) needs. References are available upon request. I am ok h I a Pet First Aid/CPR Instructor, certifying pet owners, and all animal care facilities including animal hospitals, groomers and training facilities. "Do you know what to do in an animal emergency?" if not this class is for you. Please call for information. I teach obedience classes, socialization classes, family dog classes, and private training lessons. Please contact me for information and pricing, each dog(s) needs are different.

Michele was incredible to work with. She was able to help us gain insight into the specific reasons our dogs were eager to get at our cats and gave us several tools to help prevent it. I noticed a significant change in our dogs’ overall behavior within 20 minutes with her guidance. It was truly amazing and inspirational to learn from Michele that very subtle changes in our commands and control of a leash could dramatically change the environment around our animals. I look forward to having our cats back among them family by using her guidance and lessons. I recommend Michele to anyone who has any concerns or desire to train their animal(s).

Michele is VERY knowledgable and cares more about the animals than anything. She was very helpful with tips and tricks over our first phone call. I can’t wait to see how well the dogs do after a few sessions with her!

Michele got back to me right away and asked a lot of questions to learn about my dog. She gave us lots of helpful advice and was able to help my dog improve in just one session. She always continued to answer my questions after the session.

Michelle was absolutely awesome! We rescued a pitty mix from a TX shelter and she came to help us with her aggressive behavior towards our other dogs. It was great working with Michelle from the first time I talked to her. She’s clearly very knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to dogs and training. She was very communicative, courteous, thoughtful, and really took the time to make sure we were comfortable with the things she was suggesting before she left. She gave us tons of other great insight and advice on different things we were encountering with our other dogs too. We noticed a huge difference in our dogs behavior in just a few hours, and I’m confident with consistency things will continue to improve. Michelle offered to come back to check in on how things are going whenever necessary. She also gave us such great tools to use for the things we’re working on as well. We (us and our pups!) had such a great experience with Michelle and would highly recommend!!

We can’t say enough about Michelle! She responded to my inquiry immediately, worked to fit us into her schedule right away, answered all my questions about the training, and accomplished all we were hoping for in one session. She really understand dogs and has a totally positive training approach. We highly recommend her and will be passing her info to several of our friends.
