"First off, Michele and her work with dogs is amazing. She truly understands how dogs think and explains everything she does thoroughly. Michele truly loves her work and is there to help you with anything you could possibly need. She is even available to you outside of lessons to answer any questions you might have. We are better dog owners and Marlow is a better dog, all thanks to Michele."
— Johannah Nanke, Owner of Marlow
"With the training and encouragement Michelle gave us, we were able to help our rescue Jax from anxious and destructive to calm and confident. She provided us with the right tools and reference material to find the fastest success. Very pleased with the training we received from Loyal Start! Would recommend and return again!"
— Kelly Delp, Owner of Jax
“Absolutely amazing results! In addition to teaching us how to train our rescue dog with commands, Michele was also able to create solutions and responses that we could use to help our dog overcome some anxiety and behavior issues. Michele was not only available for our one-on-one private sessions but she also was happy to respond to our questions and concerns via text or call. Highly recommend!”
— Brooke Trent Slone, Owners of Gretta
