I’m currently transitioning from a career in Precision Machining to pursuing my passion for dog training and handling. In the near future, I’ll also be offering my own line of dog handling equipment, designed with both quality and functionality in mind.

Safety, trust & environment

In my multi-story home, I have thoughtfully installed multiple gates to create flexible and secure areas for dogs to explore and play safely. With minimal furniture, there’s ample room for your dog to enjoy their stay and get plenty of exercise. I also have a variety of leashes, collars, e-collars, muzzles, and other preventive tools to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all dogs, tailored to their individual needs. Safety and fun are my top priorities, and I look forward to providing a welcoming environment for your pup!

Information Mell M. would like to know about your pet

A typical day with me begins with a refreshing morning walk after breakfast, setting a positive tone for the day. Afterward, we’ll engage in quiet time with stimulating toys like peanut butter-filled Kongs or other mentally engaging “thinker” toys to keep your dog occupied and content. Maintaining a calm routine is important, so this quiet time helps create balance. By midday, we’ll step things up with a long trail walk to get plenty of exercise and fresh air. In the evening, your dog will enjoy a hearty dinner followed by relaxing lounge time on the couch—providing the perfect end to a fulfilling day.

A typical day

A typical day would be an morning walk after breakfast to start the day. followed by some quiet time working on stimulating toys ex PB filled Kong's or other "thinker" toys. Followed by some quiet time to maintain a daily routine. Midday we would ramp things up again with a long trail walk. and finish off the night with a hearty dinner and some lounge time on the couch.

Expert Care &Training for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

As a devoted large dog enthusiast with two of my own—Dante, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and Kato, a Tri-Color American Bully—I've had the privilege of raising and training both since they were puppies. My experience extends beyond personal training; I’ve had the opportunity to shadow local police K9 units, gaining valuable insights into advanced dog handling and training techniques. I’m confident in my ability to meet the unique needs of large breeds. While I have a special affection for bully breeds, I warmly welcome all dogs into my home. I offer a spacious environment designed with partitioned areas for comfort and safety, along with plenty of toys to ensure your dog has a fun and engaging stay. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with a safe, loving, and playful environment!

Mell was great! Nooga had a really great time playing with his pups. Mell accommodated my long hours and Nooga was happy and tired when I picked her up. When I texted for updates he was prompt to respond.
