What Our North Brisbane Clients Say
Tegan O'Keefe2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Michaela, was friendly and insightful to helping me understand and manage my dogs behavior. Would definitely recommend her to friends and family. Azelle Garcia2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My large and strong Ajax (amstaff cross), who is highly reactive and pulling/lunging/barking towards other dogs have improved significantly, after x1 training with Michaela. Ajax and I have learned how to distinguish the triggers/signs and act on it promptly using positive reinforcements. Michaela is very knowledgeable and insightful in dog behaviours. We are forever grateful…🙌 we can now continue to enjoy our training and walks without feeling anxious and stressed of what could go wrong. Max and Monica Lefkowitz2025-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After just one session with Michaela we've already noticed a huge difference in our dog’s behaviour and we now know the best way to handle her reactiveness. Yiling Yap2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michaela is very passionate about her job and is extremely knowledgeable about it. She takes the time to explain a dog’s behaviour and demonstrated some useful hands-on exercises too (we went for a short walk with my dog). Thank you for teaching me the techniques to help curb my dog’s excessive barking. I’ll keep working on it! DJ J2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We really enjoyed our training session with Michaela. She helped us massively with our 10 month old Border Collie and how we can start to train him to heal and stop pulling on the lead when approaching other dogs/the dog park. She also helped us with how to stop him from jumping up and attention barking. Michaela really took the time to understand what we were struggling with training wise. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back if we need more help in the future. Thank you ☺️. tahlia murphy2024-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't recommend Michaela enough! She is so patient and educated on dog training and behaviours. Kylie Poiani2024-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience. Very helpful tips for our 1 year old Border Collie. Katja Leuschner2024-06-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Michaela recently to see if our Viszla can be trained to not bark and stay calm when he's home by himself. She gave us some great tips and introduced us to crate training. We've implemented her plan and can already see a big difference. I'm sure our neighbours are as happy as we are 😄. We can wholeheartedly recommend Michaela's training and have already booked in more lessons. Regan Frainey2024-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michaela is very friendly and knowledgeable. We could see some changes in our dog behaviour within minutes of the training. We will definitely have her back again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most North Brisbane clients see significant improvements after 3-5 training sessions, though this varies based on your dog’s age, temperament, and the specific behaviours you want to address. Puppies typically benefit from ongoing training as they develop, while adult dogs with specific behavioural issues may need a more focused approach. During our initial consultation, we’ll assess your dog’s needs and provide a recommended training plan tailored to your goals.
