Christian Dog Training & Boarding

She knows the behaviors and the reasons the dogs are behaving in certain situations, and she knows to use positive reinforcement to get the correct behaviors as well as extinguish undesirable behaviors. She is extremely pleasant to work with, which is great because she has to teach the owner as well as the dog.

Melissa did an outstanding job with our Cavalier pup! We became fast friends with her whole family because of her special attention to each dog and family! She trained us as dog owners to maintain good behavior for good and continues to board our 2 dogs in her home with love and care when we are out of town. Top notch trainer! Book her today for your pets.

Melissa trained Charles as a service dog. She was extremely professional and efficient. I could not ask for a better trainer. My dog Charles loves her and wants to go with her when she comes to visit me. We have become very close friends. She takes care of Charles at my house when I go out of town. She is very trustworthy. If you use her you won’t be disappointed.

I boarded my 2 dogs with her over Christmas, one of which is a hound that I had told her that I found about 7 months ago in the middle of the road in Buffalo gap and have nursed back to health as he was extremely skinny. And told her that my smaller dog has been running him off of his food some so to watch for that when they eat. I checked on my dogs while on my Christmas week vacation and everything seemed fine but when I picked them up, Melissa the owner of the boarding and training company told me that she found a post on the Tuscola lost pets page about a dog that looked just like my dog and that there was a lady that was looking for him, and that I might want to look into it. So I went and looked for the post and the posts she was referring to were "found dog" posts of my dog from

Melissa did a 1 on 1 assessment with my goldendoodle and then created a training plan. His behaviors are so much better now. I would highly recommend her all your dog training needs!
