Testimonials

“I cannot say enough about Michelle and Training with Grace. Our main goal was to teach our puppy, Buckley some manners. In the end Buckley is more well behaved and easier to be around and our other dog, Remy has learned some new skills as well. It is wonderful to do the training in our own home and environment and Michelle is just wonderful!”
– Mikka & Ryan, Markleville, Indiana

“Michelle has been such a wonderful resource. She was excellent working with Violet! We needed help learning the foundations of training and she taught exactly what we needed. The video, check-ins, and more have been so helpful. We have seen awesome improvements in Violet and love seeing her learn and grow each day.”
– Amber, Middletown, Indiana

“This was the best money I ever spent hiring Michelle to house train our puppy and resolve about 5 different behavioral issues we had with our two basset hounds. We saw immediate results 3 days after following her methods. Our 7 month old puppy went from 7 potty accidents daily to 1 or none. Our 10 year old basset hound stopped barking at everyone and everything passing by after we implemented her methods for a few days. They are generally calmer and we feel in charge where before they ran our house and drove us crazy. We went from very high stress levels for all our human family members and even the dogs stressed each other out but now everyone understands their position in the pack and order has finally set in.”
– Neda, Fishers, Indiana
