"Whether you're brand new to dog training or an experienced trainer looking to elevate your skills, Melissa is truly a hidden gem to be found amongst dog trainers in the Greater Houston area! Everything she does is focused on growing the dog's confidence and building a strong trusting relationship between dog and handler. Her advice and tips are always given with kindness and a desire to see her clients succeed. Perhaps most importantly, Melissa is a true dog lover. You can tell in the way she talks about her own dogs, how she interacts with her clients dogs, and her approach to training. My dog, Pax, and I are now into our second year of Therapy Work where we visit hospitals, schools, and attend large events weekly.  We couldn't have made it without the rock solid foundation Melissa helped us achieve. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for an experienced, thoughtful, and passionate trainer!"
