Testimonials
Benny Nikjeh2024-01-16Thanks, Melanie! Charlie is now much more well-behaved and attentive, thanks to your training.Michelle Kantor2023-11-13I met with Mel as my dog was experiencing some aggressive behaviour after being attacked. Mel met us at the park for our session and from start to finish Mel was patient, listened to my concerns and was really gentle and easy to get along with. Mel is extremely knowledgeable and was able to pin point the cause and the remedy almost immediately. I did see a difference in my dog by the end of the session and Mel followed up with clear instructions of next steps and notes. Highly recommend Mel!Shaunagh O'connor2023-10-30Melanie taught us how to calm down our unruly 2 year old dog in one session.
