Special Recognition from Govenor McKee

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!

 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 dog 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!!

My name is Danielle and I am an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer. Pets have always been my passion in life. I have struggled in the past with finding the right dog trainer who could answer my questions for my own dogs and strive to be a trainer others can reach out to. If I don't have the answer myself I will do my best to find the answer for you. I was given the opportunity to come to Patience Inspired Dog Training to get some hands on experience and I jumped at the chance to broaden my knowledge and improve as a trainer. I am excited to help you and your dog grow and learn together!
