Ask me about dog training! ❤️🐾

Pet care experience

I'm the fun aunt that spoils your fur babies while you're away, some pet parents have even told me their pets miss me after I visit ❤️ I love all animals on sight, if you have exotic animals please ask for my rates, I'm highly experienced with a wide range of species. I also offer positive reinforcement dog training, when it comes to dogs I find one of the best ways to teach them is by turning training into something fun! I've worked with a wide assortment of breeds with varying needs and have 3 years of professional dog training experience. I can help new puppies learn basic manners, and even help adults fine tune what they already know or learn new things. Does your dog pull on walks? Jump when saying hello? Struggle with potty training? Bark at other dogs? Let me help them like I've helped the hundreds of dogs I've trained so far. ***Schedule a dog walk with me and submit your dog training needs in your message. I offer a free consultation where we come up with a training plan that works best for you and your dog.

Very kind and knowledgeable, but no called/no showed twice. The one walk that was completed was good though.

Michelle was wonderful with my puppy. She watched her for four days and nights. Some time at my house and some at her house. That takes a lot of patience and work. I was very happy with her skills and knowledge. I will ask her to continue training and working with my dog. Big big thank you.

You can always count on Michelle to be there for you. She helped me through a dog health problem. She’s just a great lover of dogs but she loves their people too.

As always, the dogs were very happy when we returned. Michelle gives them tons of attention and they don’t seem to miss us at all.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will be safe in my hands, I don't leave animals unattended outside even when parents say it's OK....in a potentially stressful state pets are more likely to wander in search of mom and dad!

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Most owners cover everything I need to know during the Meet & Greet, but these are the questions I will generally ask: Do any of your pets have allergies or dietary restrictions? Any restrictions due to health? Are there any behavioral issues I need to be aware of (ie; doesn't get along with other dogs, do they bite, etc)? Is there any training you'd like me to keep up with (puppies)? How many times per day would you like me to walk them? What is their feeding and/or medication schedule like?

A typical day

I’ve worked with high and low energy dogs, your fur baby and I will walk, play, and cuddle! A tired dog is a happy dog! I always let cats approach me and tell me if they want to play....most of the time they would rather observe me.
