I’m Melissa
Melissa is a dedicated dog professional and passionate advocate for understanding and nurturing a dog’s natural abilities. She believes that every dog carries unique potential, and with the right guidance, patience, and compassion, that potential can truly flourish.
With years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different temperaments and backgrounds, Melissa has developed a deep appreciation for canine behavior, emotional well-being, and instinct-driven learning. Her approach focuses on building confidence, trust, and calmness in dogs while honoring their natural instincts—especially their powerful sense of smell.
