I can’t speak highly enough of Michelle, and I feel so lucky we found her. I can’t imagine where we’d be now without her amazing dog (and people!) training. Since we started working with her, I’ve noticed such a difference in Ollie. Someone commented today on how calm he is at school drop-off & pick-up, which made my day. Michelle has such a grounded, reassuring way of working with both dogs and their humans. She gives simple, practical tips that actually work, and helps us understand the behaviours. The pack walks have been brilliant. We get so much out of them, and they’ve helped build our confidence enormously. That we can now walk with other dogs and have Ollie stay calm feels like a miracle. I’ve learnt heaps from watching how Michelle handles the dogs and explains what’s really going on. Things we thought were “cute” turned out to be quite dominant behaviours, and thanks to her guidance we’re getting on top of them. I’m genuinely so grateful for her support. Each week feels like another step forward, and life with Ollie is becoming calmer and so much more enjoyable. If you’re looking for dog trainer or puppy trainer, I can’t recommend Michelle highly enough.

Booked Michelle in for a training session with our new adopted 9 month old who gets very frustrated and excited around other dogs. She quickly showed me how to prevent his reactions before he starts them and he quickly took to her method. Very impressed with the progress he made in such a short time with Michelle and her guidance and explanation of how to deal with him was super helpful. Would definitely recommend her for any training for puppies or dogs!

Michelle is an amazing dog whisperer and lovely human. She was essential to helping our puppy Diesel learn boundaries and core good behavior and she’s forever transformed our little girl. Highly recommend her starter pack for getting the most out of your time and money. Worth every penny for a puppy trainer!

Michelle is an incredible trainer! We have a 10 week old Cocker Spaniel who was starting to develop some bad habits we didn’t know how to correct. Within a few minutes of Michelle visiting, our puppy’s behaviour had changed after making a few corrections and by the end of the session we had been able to confidently correct the behaviour as well. Michelle was able to establish that we had the alpha dog of the litter and how best train her. Our puppy is no longer reactive to the vacuum, mop, biting our shoes and feet and jumping up on the couch. We are so grateful for Michelle, she has given us the confidence and knowledge to have a happy well trained dog. We are really looking forward to doing one of the pack walks with her in the future!

I highly recommend Michelle as a puppy trainer. We have a toy cavoodle puppy who was having several troublesome behaviours including extreme stress when in the crate or when put outside, jumping and growling at kids and pulling on lead. Michelle was calm and firm and managed to turn it all around in a matter of minutes! Michelle was very generous with her time and stayed until we had addressed all our concerns and she had provided strategies for us to work on. We noticed an amazingly immediate improvement in all behaviours and she gave us the confidence to deal with any other issues that crop up. We were able to confine the dog on the very same evening that Michelle came and the dog remains calm in the crate now. We are extremely grateful to Michelle for helping us to turn everything around in such a positive and quick way. Michelle is a highly skilled dog trainer and I have no hesitation in recommending her services. She shared her knowledge with us during the visit as well as provided us with lots of digital resources to refer to in the future and to consolidate all the teachings. Thanks so much!
