Certified dog trainer

Hi! I’m Michaela, a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College (ABC). I’ve been officially training service and pet dogs for the past two years, though my passion for dog training began when I was just 15 years old. I specialize in pet dogs, and training service dogs for individuals with PTSD, psychiatric disabilities, and medical alert needs, and I also offer basic and advanced obedience training as well as trick training for those who want to have extra fun with their dogs! I love helping people build stronger relationships with their pets whether through structured training or playful bonding. I also enjoy pet sitting and dog walking, making sure every animal feels happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When I’m not training, I love doing dog sports with my own dogs and encouraging others to explore new ways to have fun with their pets, ask me about dog sports if you are interested! I’m also experienced in caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and rodents.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. If your dog isn’t comfortable around other dogs, no problem at all I can easily keep them separated to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My home is very dog friendly, with plenty of toys, enrichment activities, and space to play. There’s even a creek nearby where I love taking dogs for peaceful walks, and I have agility equipment for those who want to try something new and fun! Whether your dog loves to play, train, or just relax, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away.
