“what?! I don’t want online training.”

Yes you do. Here’s why:

I was skeptical that Melody could help me with my dog only online and not working with my dog in person. But it totally worked for me. Watching me online she could direct me and made suggestions that helped me handle my dog, and talked me through all the situations that could come up.
Both myself and my dog have benefited from the experience.

Unique Benefits of Online Training

Ever take your car to the mechanic and it stops making the noise? Ever hear that your kid behaves like an angel at their friend’s house, but you know for a fact they’re an absolute gremlin at home? It’s the same for your dog. The fact of the matter is that your dog behaves differently when your trainer is in the room with you.

It takes more time and effort to get your dog to transfer the skills to you that they learned with me. Why not cut right to the chase and have your dog think you’ve turned into a training paragon overnight? I’ll never tell them it was me all along– promise!

There are still plenty of expenses involved in running an online training business, but unpaid driving time and wear and tear on the car aren’t included in those expenses. So I pass the savings along to you!

My wonderful, patient, unendingly accommodating clients can attest to this familiar scenario:

Client: “Can we meet for our next session on x day at x time?”
Me: “Uh, yeah, sure… Let me just make sure it works with my driving route that day… Actually can I get back to you on that?”

Need I say more?

Plus, I have more appointment times available now that I don’t have to account for drive time between clients’ homes. Easily schedule, reschedule, or cancel your training session all from my fancy scheduling portal– no need to ask if it works with my schedule!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Melody

She is so passionate about dogs and training us to be good pup parents. Taking on a 50lb Husky rescue was more challenging than we thought. Melody was there every step of the way. She was so responsive even after our training was done. Her support , knowledge, and encouragement when things were tough helped or newest family member to trust and love us so that we could do the same with her. It is so reassuring to know that there is always someone in our corner to turn to to share our journey in whatever capacity we need.

I would highly recommend Melody as a trainer

Our dogs have always been very reactive on leash. Since Melody became one of their regular walkers, she has worked with them extensively to reduce their reactivity to other dogs. Her work with our dogs has made my own walks with them so much more enjoyable. Thanks to her training with them, when we see other dogs on walks, they usually turn to look at me and sit without any pulling or barking at the other dogs. Melody has created a bond with our dogs and they are so excited every time they see her. She has worked wonders with them

Melody really helped me and my German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix

She is a great teacher and really puts the well-being of the dog ahead of everything else which I love! I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for help with their dog.

I’d give 6 stars if I could

I’m a first time dog owner of a Great Dane puppy and even though I’ve always gotten along well with dogs, owning one is a different challenge. Arya (my dog) has been much more gentle with my toddler, more relaxed on walks, and is improving as a pet every day. Melody helped me understand the psyche of a dog and showed me exactly what and what not to do to get my puppy to understand me… so much so that I didn’t have anything specific for us to work on for our final session so she let me bank the session to use whenever in case something comes up. Hands on learning at its best.

Melody has been really helpful as we add our new pups, Blazer and Dusty to our home

She clearly loves to teach and makes training with our dogs positive and enjoyable. Blazer was so proud of himself after our last training session, he couldn’t stop smiling 😁
