About
Michelle has always had a deep passion for animals, having welcomed dogs into her family for most of her life. Her commitment to training with compassion and love became even more pronounced when she adopted Kai, an 80-pound mixed breed with separation anxiety, in 2018. Faced with the challenge of helping Kai overcome his fears, Michelle delved into modern, force-free training methods. She firmly believes that all companion animals can and should be trained without fear. Aligning with the values of Diamonds in the Ruff, Michelle eagerly embraced the opportunity to assist with classes, allowing her to combine her passion for animal welfare with the desire to support pet owners in teaching essential skills. Since joining as a class assistant in Spring 2021, Michelle has progressed to a full-charge instructor as of Fall 2022. As a certified dog trainer, she is dedicated to upholding high training standards. Her Mini-Australian Cattledog, Wasabi, has earned his CGC and CGC-A titles, along with three Tricks titles, and they participate in musical freestyle with Ruff Revue. Together, they are excited to continue exploring new training challenges and activities in the years ahead. In March 2023, Michelle met all requirements to sit for the CCPDT exam, achieving the designation of Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed. She also launched her private training services through Pawsitive Pups LLC in Spring 2023, providing tailored support to dog owners seeking to strengthen their bond with their pets
