Hi!  My name is Michelle Alexandre and I got into dog training because I love to help people and their pets. When I adopted an 8 week old Border Collie
I had no idea of what I was getting into.  I went through basic to advanced dog classes and still had major control issues.  I needed help, but couldn't find it. So I decided to become a dog trainer myself.  I've worked hard to be the best trainer I can be so I can help other people and their dogs.  

My journey (15 yrs and counting) has taught me how integral and difficult patience is in dog training. This is why I named my company after my crazy, high strung, highly driven, never napping, always moving Border Collie, Patience. Without her I never would have become a dog trainer, and certainly not one with so much experience with incorrigible"BAD DOG!" behavior.

I can help you with everything from Behavioral Modification to Competition Obedience.  

If your dog is jumping, pulling, nipping, barking, biting, anxious, fearful, aggressive, chewing, peeing inside, or just won't listen, let me help you.  I will show you how to have a dog you love and are proud of!

 Hello, my name is Shevonne Pezzullo.  Ever since I was a little girl I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs.  I knew back when I was 12 years old that I wanted to pursue a career in training dogs and to help people enjoy their dogs the way it was meant to be.  Michelle has given me an amazing opportunity here to do just that!  I have the love, compassion, patience, ability and desire to help you and your fur baby.  Let me show you how fun it can be to train, and how satisfying it is to see the progress and potential you know your dog has!  No matter what the situation is, whether just basic obedience or specific issues that you need help working on, I would be more than happy to help!  

 Hi! My name is Sahvanna Davison, and dogs are my soft spot!!! I always knew my future would be working with dogs. I started my career with dog grooming. But thanks to Michelle I was able to further my career with dog training. I can now definitely say I found my calling!

    It brings me great joy to teach/guide you through any behavioral or basic obedience needs that you may have. The confidence that you as an owner and your dog can achieve with training is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby in our upcoming classes!  

 Hi, I'm Nina! My interest in training began out of necessity: I was dealing with reactivity and fear in my own dog. As I learned about the power of positive reinforcement and practice, we went from total meltdowns at the sight of another dog, to taking many obedience and agility group classes alongside others. Over the years, I've become fascinated with our dogs' capacity to learn, grow, and overcome obstacles - and the way that we learn and grow right along with them! I look forward to helping you and your dog on your journey together!

 

Hi! My name is Jen and I've always had a love and passion for animals. Michelle has provided me with the opportunity to enter into the wonderful world of dog training. It is truly a dream come true!!
   Dog training starts with us, the humans. When we learn how to communicate with our dogs, our bond and training skills strengthen. I look forward to getting to know you and your pups! I'm sure you'll have fun learning along with your dogs. Remember, patience is key!!
