Building Healthy Relationships Through Leadership

About Me
My name is Michaela. I have experience working at dog kennels and got my start dog training by competing with my late dogs, Marzipan and Rama, in dog training sports (SDA, IPO), and family obedience. I love dogs so much that I am opening my house to friends, family, and referrals who need an extra hand with their furry friends! My two current dogs are Posy the cattle dog (5), and Bowie the rescue Malinois mix (1). I’ve owned each of my dogs, excluding Bowie, since they were weeks old and have trained them personally for family obedience or dog sports.
