Why Your Dogs Needs Professional Training?

You love your dog. But some days? It’s hard.
  • Maybe they pull like a maniac on walks. Ignore you at the park.
  • Lunge at other dogs.
  • Or bark non-stop the second you leave the room.

 

You’ve tried following advice online. Maybe even worked with another trainer.

But nothing seems to stick.

Here’s the thing, you’re not failing. You just haven’t found the right approach yet!!

Dog Training Benefits

Imagine A Different Reality💭…
  • Going to your favourite café without stress.
  • Feeling calm and in control on walks.
  • Welcoming guests without chaos.
  • Having a puppy who is not biting your arms off and chasing everything.
  • Actually enjoying time with your dog – not feeling anxious or embarrassed.

Yes It's Possible!!

 And no – it’s not about being strict or changing your whole lifestyle. But you might have to make some changes.

Because you want calm, enjoyable and happy times with your dog, that’s where I come in.

Real Training For Real Owners!!

I help dog owners create calm, well-behaved dogs guiding you how to provide structure, clarity and practical tools that work in the real world.

No Gimmicks. No Fluff. Just Results!!

Because training isn’t just about your dog—it’s about you, too.

My approach is rooted in psychology, built on balance, and tailored to you and your dog—not a cookie-cutter program.

Why Choose Us?

What Makes Us Different?
Structure = Freedom

What Happens if You Do Nothing

  • When your dog has clear boundaries, they relax.
  • When you feel confident, they follow your lead.
  • When the foundation is solid, everything gets easier.
  • Training isn’t about ticking boxes.

 It’s about transforming the relationship between you and your dog – for life.

Why Choose Us?

What My Clients Want (And Get):

Don’t give up on your dog. I won’t give up on either of you.

After just a couple of sessions at our group obedience classes!

Don’t let frustration stop you from enjoying the simple things, like going for a walk with your dog.

We can help the puppy stage be less scary, and a whole lot more peaceful.

⚠️ Not For Everyone:

If you're looking for a quick fix or don’t want to do the work… I’m not your trainer.

But if you're ready to create real change with your dog – I’ve got you.

Clients Testimonials:

Michelle is so knowledgeable and helpful. One visit prior to starting puppy preschool, she answered so many questions and gave us tools to teach our puppy how to be calm in the house, which will make a huge difference to the stress of puppyhood (especially while having young children!).

Puppy School Classes

Michelle was so kind and caring to Frankie. She gave us so many helpful tips and explained everything we needed to focus on in the first few weeks of bringing Frankie home.

Pupply School Class

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough. Michelle is the most knowledgable and caring trainer I have ever worked with. My dog Sadie absolutely adores her. We have worked with other trainers before, but Michelle has been the one that has truly made a difference with Sadie’s reactivity. I wish I knew Michelle when Sadie was a puppy, as I know our journey would have been very different.

My Puppy School has been so beneficial for my 5.5 and 6 months old boys, Alfie and Luca. Michelle is an amazing trainer and the training is so easy to follow ( for both mom and puppies) and to continue at home. My two boys and I have really enjoyed it and learnt so much in a short time. I highly recommend using My Dog Training and My Puppy School for puppy and older dog training. Thank you so much Michelle. 😊

Puppy School Class

Michelle was recommended to me and it was the best decision I made to engage her. I have two Maltese dogs 4 years apart. Michelle has provided me with clear instructions and encouragement whilst displaying a happy and engaging personal approach. I practiced between sessions. Now my dog's confidence has increased and they are calmer - so am I! Perfect! Don’t hesitate to contact her. Michelle is the real deal! #forevergrateful
