Hi there! My name is Alyssa and I’m 29 years old. The passion of dog training was a treat I discovered 15 years ago! My dog, Tank, is a red nosed Pitbull and was my first pet trained for canine good citizen, basic obedience and freestyle dog dancing! Working with Tank for 5 years, along with his Sister, Avia (pictured above), inspired me to do more than basic training! I worked with Avia to become my full time service dog that worked along my side for a long 8 years, until she finally retired into her golden years! I fell in love with the happiness and excitement that came with each training session as we worked together to create pawsitive and silly behaviors that only bonded us tighter! The magic that happens between a dog and their handler is something that presents strong and powerful! I went to school for veterinary medicine but training was something I still needed to do! Here I am, willing and able to help YOU and YOUR best friend become a strongly bonded and well rounded team!

Hi, I’m Sam! Dogs are at the heart of everything I do, bringing endless joy and fulfillment to my life. As a committed dog trainer, I take pride in helping dogs learn, grow, and thrive. Their unique personalities and boundless energy inspire me every day. To me, dogs are not just pets but beloved companions who make life brighter and more rewarding.

Hi, I’m Devan! I’m a dedicated dog lover and trainer, finding immense joy in working with dogs and understanding their unique personalities. My passion for dogs is at the heart of everything I do, from training and caring for them to simply enjoying their loyal companionship. When I’m not spending time with my canine friends, I enjoy gaming and streaming on Twitch, balancing my time between the excitement of virtual adventures and the warmth of my furry companions.

Hello everyone, my name is Michele Henderson. With over 18 years of training experience and 15 years of owning and operating Michele’s Dog Training, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people build strong, positive relationships with their pets.

When I’m not leading classes or conducting house calls, you can find me running my other company, Classic K9s. We specialize in creating engaging trick and agility dog shows for sporting events, kids’ camps, and more.

My passion for dog training began over 25 years ago when I started competing in canine freestyle, also known as dog dancing. There’s something truly special about the bond that forms between a dog and handler when they work together as a seamless team.
