About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I've been training and walking dogs for over 15 years, with a strong focus on leash reactivity and dog-to-dog aggression. My approach is always positive, based on trust, consistency, and clear communication-never aversive methods. I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood, and motivated. I'm dedicated, compassionate, and passionate about canine behavior. Over the years, I've worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, especially rescues and those with anxiety or behavioral challenges. I'm skilled in obedience, behavior modification, and creating calm, structured environments where dogs can thrive. Outside of work, I love exploring the outdoors with my son and our dog, making art, reading, and mountain biking.
