Michelle provided a private, in‑home training session for our 7‑month‑old rescue puppy who struggles with anxiety and low confidence. She was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and gave us practical, easy‑to‑apply guidance on helping him feel more comfortable around strangers and build confidence through training over the coming weeks. We feel much more equipped to support him moving forward. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone navigating the challenges of a rescue puppy.
We have been taking our new rescue to Paws N Play for 3 months now. The tools Michelle has taught us in obedience classes as well as the social skills our dog gets from dog play on Saturdays has been amazing. Our dog is progressing so well and Paws N Play has been instrumental in this success. We highly recommend both the training classes and play times.
