How to Train A Dream Dog

"I highly recommend the course 30 Days to Puppy Perfection for all new puppy owners! I signed up for the course just before we picked up our 8 week old border collie puppy; starting the course earlier would have been even better. The most important things I learned were crate training, puppy wake windows and nap schedule, the need for cool down time, and canine enrichment. And the importance of pre-training. Michelle and staff helped me to understand that puppy biting, chewing, accidents, and fearfulness are perfectly normal and will pass with proper training and management. Our puppy is already a dream dog at only 6 months old, thanks to this course. He still has a lot to learn, but he is loving, responsive, and fun, and plays beautifully with other dogs. I don't know how we would have made it to this point without Michelle's great course!"

"I can not say enough about Michele and her business. Her training methods are phenomenal!! She is very thorough, consistent, kind, genuine, and always willing to help outside of training sessions. It is obvious she cares deeply about the dogs and owners. I attempted to train other dogs, but nothing has been as effective as Michele's recommendations. If you want someone who is truly doing it for the benefit of your dog and you as the owner, hire her!! She is amaaaaaazing!!"

"Michele is a wonderful trainer. She is thoughtful and precise and she conveys all of that to pets and their owners alike. She demonstrated the need for consistency and explained the logic behind much of the training that will help me to be a better trainer. If a pet owner understands the workings of the "dog mind", the dog will perform better. What seemed so "mysterious" or complicated, was simplified by Michele. As I have said to people to whom I have recommended Michele, if my puppy turns out to be a naughty dog, it will be my fault entirely. Thanks to Michele,I have been provided all of the necessary tools through these training sessions, to be a competent, responsible dog owner with a dog that people can enjoy. Now, it is up to me and I hope I can live up to Michel's expectations. She was a joy to work with and I am very sad to see our sessions come to an end. PS Thanks to her powers of observation, our poor puppy, whom we thought was simply the devil to house train, turned out to have a UTI, which was solved with antibiotics. Thank you for pointing out that possibility to us Michele. Huge problem...solved!"

"We love !Michelle and the dog gym. Training: we took our dog Here for ten weeks of training. Michelle taught us how to properly train our dog and it was a grand success. She taught us dozens o useful tricks and commands and also gave us the ability to train him to do just about anything. He's so good now. Like a whole new dog. Boarding: we board our dog once a month with michelle. Her rates are competitive but more importantly our dog gets attention, exercise and a safe environment. Wouldn't take him anywhere else. He loves it. She sends us pics of his day with her. We love that."

"My dog, Leroy, came from Lollypop Farm. He was a good dog but with Michele's patience and training (for me more than Leroy), he is a welcome addition amongst my family and friends. For anyone thinking of joining the dog gym, using their grooming services or training, I would wholeheartedly recommend that they RUN not walk, to the Dog Gym and utilize all of the services they offer, especially in the cold weather months when it is dangerous to keep your dog outside in frigid temperatures. The Dog Gym offers a safe, comfortable environment for your dog to get out its energy. Michele's training techniques will help your dog become the well behaved, affectionate best friend you've wanted all your life. Thanks Dog Gym!!"
