MAbout Melissa
WHY DOGS? Being with dogs and helping them become more fully alive through Natural Dog Training make up one of my life's deepest joys:) Kindly see below for rates.
EXPERIENCE
I'm a dog trainer/behaviourist in the lineage of Kevin Behan, the founder of Natural Dog Training and author of 'Your Dog Is Your Mirror: The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves'. From 2015 to 2019 I trained with Kevin regularly in Vermont, USA till he passed in 2020. He changed my life and I will forever be indebted to his teaching and guidance!
Being passionate about animals, wildlife and caring for creation is a big part of my life, so much so that I've worked with a nature conservation NGO for the past 20 years. I'm comfortable handling and training dogs with fear or aggression issues, as well as caring for large breeds. I can equip you and help your dog overcome issues including these: reactivity, fear of people, fear of thunder, being super hyper, nervousness, zoomies around the house, separation anxiety, etc. I have a soft spot for Singapore Specials!
I understand the concerns involved in putting one's dog in a kennel or taking it out of its home environment for boarding. I've looked for dog sitters in the past but found it hard to entrust someone else with my high-drive dog. So I'm here to help! Do you have any questions? I'd love to chat with you regarding any doggy issues you'd like to explore.
