Reviews & Testimonials For Michelle Howell

I could not be happier with the training provided for our dog Teddy by Michelle. Right from our first phone conversation she was understanding, empathetic and supportive about the issues we were having with Teddy. Her communication skills are fantastic and I felt very prepared for our first session together. I was amazed at Michelle's dog knowledge and training skills and she explained all aspects of the training so well, which meant I always understood why we were doing things. Our dog responded so well to her and we could see instantly how effective the training was going to be. She left us with clear training goals to work on over the next week, with assurances that we could contact her if we were having any issues before our next session. We're only a few days into our training and we're already noticing a big change in Teddy. He is so much calmer and responsive to our communication with him. We can't wait to continue our training with Michelle, so that we can have a calm and happy dog who adds happiness to our family without the stress. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs training assistance with their dog!

Michelle is a brilliant dog trainer and teacher She has expertly understood our dogs characters and taught how to change their behaviours as a result I am in awe of what I have learnt about my dogs The training to achieve and fix problematic behaviour is explained and taught excellently It’s really very simple and requires consistency and a little homework on your part My digs are becoming so well behaved I’m feeling so much happier and a sense of freedom And I am enjoying my digs a lot more Thankyou so much Michelle

Michelle is brilliant! She was very conscious in delivering the training in a way we could understand and helped us to put a plan in place over the next few weeks to practice until the next visit. We will be recommending Michelle to all our friends and maybe even random strangers we meet on doggy walks!

We had a good idea of what we were supposed to do to train Duke, but as you pointed out just weren't quite putting it together properly. Hence the frustrating stubbornness and behaviour escalations we were experiencing. Since the 4 hours with you, we've been able to eat family meals at the table in relative peace, we've not had to put him outside for repeated bad behaviour and he's been really response and interested in the ongoing training. Doesn't hesitate to put his training collar on. I can appreciate that sustained effort is going to be necessary to achieve our desired outcomes long term. But we can't thank you enough for setting us up for success. Highly recommend your services, worth every cent of the investment made. Thanks Michelle.

We have seen a drastic difference in Leo. He is calmer, more obedient and seems happier. More importantly I am happier.

From the first lesson Michelle was able to calm my pup right down and gave me insight into a dogs world and how it differs so from ours. I have attended previous dog obedience classes and didnt have this outcome. Michelle teaches with kindness and she is always available to troubleshoot any questions which arise about the training. Michelle gave me the support and pep talk when I needed it. We are a 1 week and a half in and have already noticed a difference in our pup. His groomer even noted he was calmer during his bath and groom. Here's to Michelle and Bark busters!!

A remarkable turn around in the behaviour after just 1 lesson and several days of regular “homework” given to us by Michelle. Quite a bit of unlearning/re-learning for us as owners go correct bad habits that have crept in over the years, but the regular and consistent practice of the techniques is paying dividends. Looking forward to the next lesson! Michelle’s approach to delivering the training is patient, good humoured and empathetic, and her knowledge of dog (and owner) behaviours is excellent. Highly recommended!

Michelle is highly committed, perceptive and professional. Lulu realised straight up that Michelle was the boss. Now Lulu just needs time and practice to learn we can also be trusted for the role.

Our experience with Michelle was fantastic. We learnt so much about our 2 dogs and their behaviours and how to manage them. Since seeing Michelle we have regained balance and calm in our home and we are able to connect with our pups on a new level!

We had a terrible problem with Scuppers barking continuously while we were out. Michelle came along and has taught us how to teach him, and he is already like a different dog. The effect has been immediate. We are so happy that we contacted Michelle and got her help so quickly. Thank you so much Michelle, you've made our lives so much easier.

Michelle – we can not thank you enough for your time spent with us and Archie in Beerwah! We had issues with barking, pulling on the lead and generally needed to reclaim our home. We successfully have boundaries around who goes through the doors and gates first now, we have claimed our bed. We are still working on attentiveness when on the lead but we are making steady progress. We can not thank you enough and thank you for travelling to the Sunshine Coast!

Michelle is an expert at understand dog behaviour. She is very thorough at helping support us to bring out the best in our beautiful puppy.
