“We have two rescue dogs, one is almost eleven years old and the other one is almost five years old. They both have a lot of energy that really needs to be channeled, and through Michele's training... and patience!... we now have the correct tools to work with them on this. On the first day of training Michele explained one of the goals we were working towards would be getting to a point where we could take the dogs off-leash. I was emotional hearing this because this NEVER felt like it would be a possibility for us because of our dogs' super high energy, but now we are working with our dogs to make it a reality. I didn't realize how much our dogs' behaviors impacts our day-to-day lives, and especially the lives of our dogs, but after working with Michele the quality of life for ALL of us has greatly improved. Our dogs love the added structure! Michele is so generous with her time and knowledge. We highly recommend Loyal Start Dog Training no matter what stage of life your dog is at!”
