Ziggi
“I got in contact with Mish through the IMDT website. It was important to me that whatever trainer I chose did not use any aggressive or negative reinforcement methods. That describes Mish to a tee. She has a real geniune love for dogs that oozes out of her, treating your puppy as if her own. When I first brought Ziggi home her literally cried if I was more than 3 steps away from him. It was unbearable at times, felt like he would never grow out of it. But thanks to Mish constant (and I mean constant at times) reassurance and thought out training tactics it was a matter of days for Ziggi to chill out a bit. I paid for a package which I still haven't worked through, and there is no rush to work through them. If you want a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, caring and experienced Mish is your woman!”

Soda
“I had the pleasure of working with Michaela to train my puppy Soda. Michaela's genuine passion and deep understanding of our fluffy friends truly shine through in her work. She guided us through training sessions that addressed loose lead walking, noise reactivity, and other essential commands, making a noticeable difference in Soda's behaviour.
Throughout our lessons, Michaela provided invaluable advice and tips, along with tailored homework that reinforced what we learned. We also learned a few new games and worked on strengthening the dog-owner bond. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and dedication! 🧡”

Raven
“Mish demonstrates expertise in canine behaviour through her dedication to dogs and learning about their individual behaviours, plus her training techniques are exceptional. She not only came across as knowledgeable, but also incredibly patient and supportive to me as a first time dog owner. She clearly customizes the training program to meet our individual needs, which naturally meant we got the results I wanted. She's helped myself and Raven with basic obedience right through to some testing behavioural issues, which are definitely challenging with a working line German shepherd! She is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog and solve any challenging behavioural problems.”

“We always really looked forward to our Sunday puppy training sessions with Michaela knowing how positive it was for our 2 puppies to be training in proximity but focusing on their own learning and confidence. Michaela was really thorough and went over and above to make sure puppies and humans were equipped with knowledge. She made it fun too bringing in guest trainers with other amazing experience to input and always emphasised and helped us emphasise positive reinforcement and care. It was a great start of our learning journey! “

"We would like to thank you for all your support with training our little puppy Yogi.
Your sessions have been very beneficial for us as we are first time puppy owners. We have seen a major improvement in Yogi with your training and all the follow up exercises. Yogi is a very active dog, full of energy and prior to the sessions we had no control. With your expertise, we have now seen him to be less distracted and being able to focus on us more. We understand him better and to train him in fun and positive ways that are the best for him!
We could feel your passion from each session, and we are so grateful to have had you as a trainer. We will highly recommend you!
