Hair of The Dog That Bit Ya

Michelle was great. We called her because our sweet, timid 2 year old rescue displayed some aggressive behavior that came out of the blue. She suggested a pinch collar, but once she met and evaluated the dog, ruled out it's use. In the one hour she spent with us, she gave us some useful techniques for handling "strangers in the home" events, tactics for getting the dog to engage in training and most importantly, assured us that we had a good dog who found herself in a situation she couldn't cope with and helped us see the event through the dog's eyes. I highly recommend her to anyone with a dog that has behaviors that need adjusting.

We loved working with Michelle. Dog training is just as much about training owners as it is training dogs, and we felt like she taught us really well. We had no idea what to do and we left our session with a clear understanding of how to set our dog up for success. If you are looking for an experienced trainer to show you the ropes, I highly recommend Michelle!

Michelle is an excellent trainer... A people trainer!! She will train you on how to train your dog because training takes practice between dog and dog parent that extends beyond the hour-long sessions with her. Michelle was always on time. Most importantly, Michelle is honest. She told us that we didn't need any more sessions far earlier than we expected and we appreciate that she didn't drag on the sessions just because. Thanks Michelle!!!

Michelle is an amazing dog trainer!! My boston/rat terrier struggles with selective aggression where he is gentle at times but more rough at others. With just one hour session she has already completely changed him. It'll take some time and cooperation on our end but without her help training my family and I we would never have known how easily we can train our dog. Would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone who needs a dog trainer!!

Shelly makes it fun to train with our giant pup. She was great at teaching my 9yr too how to handle our dog. Very clear instructions and thorough. Can't wait to work with her again!
