"I was VERY skeptical of virtual training, but I was desperate in the midst of social distancing and someone recommended Melissa (having 'worked miracles' with a foster dog). My adopted rescue seemed to turn into Cujo after just a few days of having him- and he could be very scary. Melissa had me take numerous videos to send her and she had a handle on his issues before our first session even began. Since the sessions happened at home, I feel like we really had a better experience than regular training classes since she got to see us both in our environment- with training tailored specific to us- his temperament and my abilities. Throughout the time between sessions Melissa is very attentive and always available for advice and to watch additional video. 6 weeks later the difference in his behavior and attention is amazing. Melissa is sincerely dedicated to helping dogs and their owners. Her professional and supportive approach gave me the patience, optimism, and confidence to create a happy, healthy environment for a challenging dog. I am so grateful to Harmonious Handling."
