In late 2019, At the age of 20, our Beloved OG dog Braxton passed away, but his impact lives on ion all the work we do at PHH. Over the years, we have added to our canine family through and over and over again we have helped dogs come out of their shells, become more obedient and happier.

Many of Michelle’s clients have met Braxton, the incredible and patient demo dog that works to help dog reactive dogs. His obedience increased, and he was so happy! The dog that was terrified of the world and all those in it to a dog who cheerfully approached people. Michelle became obsessed with researching scientific-based dog training positive reinforcement training methods. Michelle began to use her skills from her work with people who have experienced trauma and those with behavioural concerns and applied them to Braxton. At the time a 6-year-old dog that was incredibly fearful- popular dog training techniques of the time did not fair well for this sensitive soul. Michelle’s journey into training happened when she adopted our dog, Braxton. As a busy mom herself she pulls from her own personal experience as well as her extensive educational background. Allowing her to share not only her love of dogs, but children and helping foster positive relationships between babies, toddlers and pets. Michelle is also a proud licensed educator for the Family Paws Parent Education. Continuing education a part of Michelle’s regular schedule and she takes having the best more accurate information very seriously.
