Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: 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.

She is absolutely the best. She knew exactly how to train me to train my boy. He was very reactive to other dogs. Would yelp, bark and yank me towards the other dog. He literally laid down in front of another dog. I am amazed. She taught me so much in just 1 visit. I will never use any other trainer. She is very professional and gets right to it the second she arrives. I highly recommend her.

Great training experience. My young German Shepherd barks at everything and everyone that passes in front of the yard. After just one lesson I noticed a big improvement in his behavior. We both learned some new tricks and tips and I can leave him outside without him barking at anything that moves. Would highly recommend!!!!!

Michelle and her training methods were amazing! Me and my wife were very stressed about having our dog trained, after having another dog trainer meet our dog, and tell us it would take him almost 40 one hour sessions for him to train our dog, that would of cost us thousands of dollars. I found Michelle online, called her, and what she described for her training was exactly what I was looking for. She came out to my house, showed me and my wife what to do with our dog, and within a half hour we could tell a difference in our dog, Michelle was amazing! Michelle followed up with us days after our session, to ask how everything was going, and let us know we could reach out to her anytime with any questions we had. I would highly recommend Michelle for training your dog, you can tell she loves and cares for dogs, and is an excellent trainer.

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!!
