“Michaela is a true dog whisperer! From the moment I brought home my Cavachon and Goldendoodle puppies, Michaela was by our side. Her knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques is astounding. She tailored her approach perfectly for each puppy’s personality, creating a positive and fun learning environment. Her daily guidance and support transformed my pups into well-behaved and loving companions. I can’t imagine our life without her expertise – she’s the reason my dogs are the absolute best! If you want a skilled, patient, and truly dedicated trainer, look no further than Michaela.”
