Henry's Helping Paw Dog Training, LLC

"Stressful waste of time! She was at least 30 minutes late to every session, an hour late twice. For our first session with our dog who is highly reactive to people coming to the house, she came into our house and was there for 2 1/2 hours! A dog fight almost happened between my 2 dogs while she had her back turned, and that's when we asked her to leave. She stressed our dog and us humans to the max. We moved our one dog away from the door for her to leave, and when we came back to him we found he had peed in 4 rooms in the house and he has never peed in the house since we got him over 2 years ago. The only reason we continued to have her come back was because we already had paid for multiple lessons upfront (no refunds) and I thought she was a professional, so I thought I could trust her. Following sessions were not much better. Some of her techniques helped my one dog to do a little less excited jumping, but I think our house-guarding dog actually got worse. If you have a reactive dog, do your research on dog training and behavior certifications and find someone better. A well qualified trainer with certifications and continuous education in behavior does a much better job."

"Melissa is the dog-whisperer as far as I'm concerned. It's very clear she knows what she's doing. We really enjoyed her methods, especially using treats only very sparingly, focusing on positive reinforcement. Our rescue pup responded to Melissa's training very well, much better than we could do on our own. She was wonderful and very kind and passionate about her business. Highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs some guidance"

"Melissa was wonderful to work with! She helped our puppy with separation anxiety and gave us so many tools to use to help her feel safe and comfortable when we needed to leave her or welcome guests into our home. She covered a lot of ground with various issues we were having with our dog and zoey responded really well to her training. I would highly recommend her!"

"We recently adopted a rescue, and she had a lot of trouble adjusting to all the change. Melissa has been there for us from the minute we contacted her, and after only one session we saw such a major change in our dog. She went from excessive barking and pacing, to acting like a puppy again! She loves training now, and sees it like playtime! We couldn't be more thankful for Melissa's help. She's amazing at what she does and I don't know where we'd be without her!"

"Melissa is absolutely AMAZING! What first drew me to her was that she came right to your house. Other trainers I was looking into wouldn’t do that. She is so professional and flexible. There were a couple times I had to reschedule my appointment and she was so understanding and easy to work with my schedule. She helped my Frankie June is so many ways and even after the first lesson I had seen a difference in my dog. She also helped me be more confident in situations with Frankie and how to handle my dog for her own specific needs. I would recommend Melissa and Henry’s Helping Paw Dog Training to anyone! Both me and Frankie are going to miss her but we know we have a forever friend with us and we are both so grateful for Melissa."
