Leaders lead with Respect, passion, set examples and show you the way. Your dog may be a leader themselves, or follow the leader. (Follower of a leader) Both steps in the right direction.
Here at Universal dog leader we supply dog owners with enough information, knowledge, and hands on work to help owners be leaders and correct their companions the right way.
Owning a dog is teamwork which takes dedication, consistency, and respect. You respect your dog, your dog respects you. Fear is a temporary solution (state of mind).
I offer Dog training And 2 or 4 week week boarding program.
More about me. My name is Melo and I love dogs and working with them. It has been a passion of mines since a young age, my family will tell you I’ve always been the one with the dogs. I see dogs more as family, children than a pet. I believe in building bonds, reading and understanding dogs rather than bossing them around. I’m looking to build on my passion as a business now more than a hobby. I look forward to working with you.

I did not go any further than the initial visit. I am a person who doesn't respond well to schedules. I procrastinate quite a bit due to a mood disability I have. I’m old school when it comes to caring for my dogs. At 75, I’ve spent a total of 40 years with three beloved family dogs, each of whom I had to put to sleep because of declining health or cancer.
I shared my reasons for not continuing with this trainer, and we ended things on good terms.

Mello is patient, clearly loves dogs, and is highly effective at evaluating and determining what dogs need. Our puppy listened well and came away better behaved. Best of all, he's also patient with us as owners and teaches us better tools to help reinforce the lessons without feeling like he's condescending. He's a pleasure to work with and we'll be setting up a training schedule with him.
Details: 0 - 6 months old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private lessons • Puppy training • Chewing • Biting • House training • My home, venue, etc.

Melo is the best! My Puppy Lala learned to use the bathroom outside, I’ve had her for weeks and couldn’t do it. He gave me some great and I am a happy customer!
I recommend him to anyone!
