WHY CHOOSE MY DOG TRAINER
Certified and Experienced Dog Trainer
Michelle, the founder of My Dog Trainer, is a Certified Dog Trainer who is passionate about meeting dogs' genetic and breed-specific needs to ensure they are fulfilled and happy. She believes that a well-balanced, fulfilled dog is a well-behaved dog. Her approach focuses on understanding and catering to each dog's unique needs, helping them thrive in a positive and engaging environment.
Michelle holds a Certificate III in Dog Training & Behaviour from The National Dog Trainers Federation (NDTF) and has many years of experience working with dogs of all breeds.
Growing up on a large property with multiple dogs, particularly Kelpies, Michelle watched her father effortlessly command his working dogs with a simple whistle or a subtle hand gesture to orchestrate the movement of a herd of sheep or cattle. This left an indelible mark and sparked her fascination with behavioral training. It led to a deepened curiosity and passion for understanding canine behavior, training methodologies, and the profound bond that can develop between humans and dogs. This passion ultimately led her to become a Professional Dog Trainer.
Today, Michelle has a beautiful Kelpie named Indie. She is committed to helping all breeds thrive in our modern world while still honoring their true nature as dogs. Michelle loves both coaching the human and training the dog to form a great bonded team.

Limited to 5 dogs per class
This program has been developed by Michelle, who is passionate about working breeds or similar high drive breeds/crosses.
Walking a working breed around the block can be frustrating, and is not going to create a content dog. We will show you how to fulfil your dog's needs, develop great obedience, teach impulse control and create more balanced, and happy dogs, resulting in far less behaviour issues.
This program will help you create a great relationship with your dog.
