“Melody is music to Saffron’s long cavalier ears. She has helped tremendously with keeping Saffron’s focus away from distractions(especially those horrible lantern flies.) Melody’s methods are effective and positive. 💕🐾”

“My whole family was so impressed with Melody. Her love of what she does and love for dogs was readily apparent. She asked questions avd immediately knew she could help us. She provided insight about how our dog was thinking and why she was acting a certain way in such a short period of time that we were amazed. She is so knowledgeable and she allayed any concerns we had. We look forward to working with her! I have every confidence that she will help us! Amazing first impression! ”

“Melody is a true dog whisperer. She explains the behavior from my dog’s viewpoint and trains me as much, if not, more than my dog. Amazing results in very little time. I highly recommend Heel and Hound. They have changed my dog’s life! And mine.”

“Was a great experience we had today with Melody. We were working on Toby not reacting to another dog while on a leash. Melody explains everything so we can understand how to fix the problem. And Toby loves her!!! 🐾😊”

“We are very happy with Melody. She takes time to explain the "whys" behind what we are being taught. Allows time for questions and note taking. And, her demonstrations are very practical.”

“Melody has been great to work with! Always coming up with new, creative ways to address issues that arise with our labs. We got tired of doing the same old techniques that other trainers kept presenting that weren’t working. She actually comes out to the environment where the issues occur to fix them. Highly recommended!”

“Melody is amazing. She gave me the confidence I need to make progress with my dog after a really tragic incident. She understands and will work on the root of the behavior in a positive and approachable way. I am so thankful we started training with her and am looking forward to all Maddie’s progress! ”

“We contacted Melody to help us with some aggression our 2 year old American Pitbull Terrier began to show. She taught us the skills and confidence to help him and has such a knowledge of all things canine. He’s a much less reactive dog and still has lots of room to improve but we’re headed in the right direction. ”

“Melody answered my questions and I’m excited to start working with her in training me with my dog’s reactive behavior. I’m feeling more hopeful that we can together address and solve my Gracie’s reactive towards other dogs.”

“Heel & Hound is THE BEST! Whenever we have a new doggie training question, Melody is right there ready to help. Our pup Johnny absolutely loves when she comes to visit. He is very attentive, keeps his eyes on her, and is always excited to learn tricks, manners and good behavior from Melody!”
