“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!”

“We’ve just started working with Melody and she’s already been a big help. It is great to have her professional insight and years of experience. Even as someone who has been around dogs my whole life, I’m learning a lot and making sure our latest pup has the best chance of success possible!”

“After meeting with Melody I am very excited to see Tobi flourish. Understanding how to communicate and learning about what Tobi’s needs will bring us all so much closer and confident. Anxiety free is what I am looking forward to.”

“Melody Sunflower is a dog whisperer no matter what the issue is she can fix it! She is truly amazing. She’s got a great personality. She’s very down to earth and Dogs just fall in love with her at first sight! She’s very insightful and gives you a lot of useful information and tools to work with to train your dog or to fix a habit that you want to break I would recommend her to anyone you will not be disappointed!!!!”

“Melody is amazing! Each week we have a new issue to address with our 11 month golden retriever puppy, and she always has ideas to combat the behavior in a kind and effective way. Melody's background knowledge is impressive. We have done large group sessions for puppy training and have not seen the positive behavior changes that we have seen right off the bat with Heel and Hound. We highly recommend Melody and our puppy loves and respects her, too!”

“Just sent my puppy off for board and train. Melody was great: very communicative and assuring. She told me she’s confident that I will see big changes in my pup. She was very clear in letting me know how things will go and promised to send many updates. She was on time to get my puppy and, right away, handled him like a pro. I’m very hopeful some of his puppy habits will be nipped in the bud. ”

“Melody was great, she came out and did a thorough consultation with us to figure out the best course of action for one of my dogs. She was up front and honest and gave alot of detail when explaining things. Would recommend to anyone needing assistance with dog training”

“Great first session. Melody not only explained the lesson for today very well but she was also able to help us understand Levi thinking process and how we should go about it in order to have success in training.”

“We really appreciate how much Melody maximized 1 hour of private training. We've learned so much so quickly and are very optimistic our dog will improve his behaviors. We love Melody's approach to training and after working together a few times we can tell she's very knowledgable and has a lot of experience dealing with a variety of dogs. Looking forward to more sessions!”

“Melody is an amazing dog (and people) trainer. She has a wealth of information that she shares during sessions. She not only trains dogs and their owners on standard commands and fun tricks, but also explains the way a dog thinks and the importance behind being thoughtful and purposeful in your interactions with your pup. Highly recommend!”
