Pluto's Pals Pet Care

Michelle is one of one when it comes to dog training and helping our Cooper. Before Michelle, Cooper was very anxious, reactive, and willfully disobedient most of the time. The anxiety contributed to his bite history and added strain to our day to day living. We turned to the opinions of our vet and even paid for a canine behavioral psychologist which yielded little results even with the medications prescribed to Cooper. And unfortunately, another incident happened afterwards. Enter Michelle. From day 1 to today, she’s maintained the same calm confident energy Cooper needed to break through his walls day by day through the 6-week board and training program. She consistently sent us weekly updates and posted daily to her story so we could see Cooper transition into his best self. Today, C

What an amazing class and experience in leadership and understanding what our furry family needs from us to succeed. Michelle is a natural pack leader that cares deeply for the animals and shows compassion for the humans. The class covered critical boundaries that helped me better lead my boy out of negative behaviors and helped him to be more confident and obedient. I look forward to what Pluto Pals has coming in the future.

Michelle has been a true blessing in our lives with our 8 year old pups Mia and Archie! We attended the Dog Psychology course which really helped us understand the mind of our dogs. We learned foundational knowledge that will help us for the rest of our lives and really helped us to meet them where they are. Mia was a fearful dog while Archie was reactive. This made if difficult taking them out in public as it was stressful for all of us. Mia attended Michelle's bootcamp and came home a happy, confident and well adjusted pup. She's no longer the same fearful pup that we dropped off. We're able to bring her out in public without her being scared. She also loves to cuddle and be held now but not because she's scared. Archie's reactivity is so much better and we can finally walk him and tak

10 star review! Michelle’s training works. I had experience with a reactive dachshund dog after being rushed by an off leash dog, that caused years of stress/fear going out on walks and not being able to board with other dogs. I vowed to learn the best way to not repeat the same situation with my 5 month old dachshund puppy. What she teaches works!! And once you see it works, you become a believer. I realize everything I have been taught by other trainers was not the most effective for any dog. In the few months, our submissive (potentially reactive) puppy has transformed and become more confident. We can walk without him barking at other dogs or people, not stopping every minute to smell or pulling on the leash. She gave us so many tools to work with for all type of situations. Mi

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and her help in transforming our reactive dog, Elvis, and our quality of life. We got Elvis at a shelter during covid lockdowns. He was a one year old mix of retriever and dachshund and had no interaction with other humans for about a year after. His reactivity around people were getting worse. Constant barking and panting and whining. We could not take him anywhere and gave up on having people over. We hired a trainer who came to our house for a few sessions, but did not realize that the training methods used were making his reactivity worse. We also have 4 adults and two teens in the house and we all were not on the same page when it came to training. Elvis was 5 years old when we found Michelle and we had no idea we were reinforcing
