Our Yellow Lab Pup, Kilo, has learned SOOO much from this puppy perfection program. He's only 12 weeks old while I'm writing this review but, he's well on his way to understanding what our expectations are, and how we would like him to behave/interact!

Josh, Kilo has come so far in such a short amount of time. Keep up the great work! Thank you for the feedback.

I found the course material excellent.
I found the course material excellent. I have an extremely busy job so I am working through the course material as quickly as I would like to. I also found it very difficult to manage all the Zoom calls. I love that you can watch the self directed calls at your own pace and multiple times. The search engine is great as well. If you have a question it's likely been asked before and you can find a video on it. I am a first time puppy owner and was lucky to be blessed with a super chill, happy easy puppy. It was great that I got the course a month before she came so I got a head start on learning how to train her. My only comment would be is the Pro Level is quite expensive. I think I only asked 3 short simple questions during my whole time so not worth it for me. I might rejoin the Pro Level down the road if things go side ways and I am at a loss as to how to manage. At this point I'm happy to go on my own and watch the videos. I would suggest in the videos though they show the dogs not being successful on each demonstration of the training. They make it look super easy. Pickles rocks!

Monty LOVES his crate now - thank you!!
We thoroughly enjoyed the 30 day to puppy perfection course. Before our German Pinscher pup Monty arrived , we signed up for the course to really understand the theory and the practical of living with and training a pup. I'm so glad we did this.. it really helped me with my experience in the puppy blues stage! We are especially thankful for the crate and potty training sections of this course. They have been a godsend with Monty and really helped guide us through that challenging stage. Monty LOVEs his crate now. When we call out "Crate time" he rushes to get inside and finds comfort and relaxation in his space. Monty had a couple of potty accidents but with the potty training guide we quickly helped him succeed in going outside! Just want to thank Michele and her team for providing us with this valuable resource we can always revisit. Highly recommend for all new puppy owners - do this in advance and you'll find yourself far better prepared for your little pup.

Marie... Kudos to you and Monty for all the training you put in to help him love his crate. Thank you so much for leaving us feedback on your experience. I'm happy to hear we were able to help you through the puppy blues. It can be a tricky time to go through with a new puppy. You guys make an excellent team :-)

This is not the only training. I discovered many more and stop being such a helicopter parent doggie mama. This training was not for me it really actually made us all a little crazy
As a puppy parent I realize now not everything is black-and-white. I invested money we had a lot of trouble at the beginning in the puppy phase days. We all found Nicole‘s responses a very condescending and downright rude....To be honest some of the other members private messaged me to make me feel better

Karine I’m very sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the training program we offer. As you said, not all trainers are the same. My program focuses on building a relationship with your dog, which takes work and patience. You were wise to sign up for the pro level of the course, which offers you the most support possible through the private Facebook group and 3 zoom calls a week. I see you were able to ask a few questions and received responses from me and the other certified trainers on my team.
It’s definitely your right not to follow the advice of the trainers and the protocols of the training course, but we don’t recommend it. We do not advise the use of an electric fence, as we discussed in your Facebook posts. Furthermore, we feel that the use of a crate is a critical piece in shaping the behavior of our puppies. We would have loved for you to take full advantage of the resources offered at the pro level, including joining us on zoom calls for more in-depth study of canine development, which could have aided you with the training of your puppy.
I’m sorry to hear that you have rehomed your puppy per your email you send us. The raising of a puppy and meeting all of his needs along with the needs of other humans and animals in our household can be overwhelming, as you stated in your email to me. Not all puppies are good for all households and we commend you on your decision to do what was best for the dog.
We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and with the other animals in your home.

Best Course EVER!
This is an excellent course and worth the $$ spent. The Zoom calls and direct feedback on questions posted to the Student group were priceless. The real joy here is that you realize somewhere along the way that you are actually being trained as well. I believe many pet owners do not realize the commitment needed to train a new puppy and the support you gain from all of the other students in the group was outstanding. I have referred many friends to this program and I will continue to endorse it. Thanks so much Michelle, Nicole and Allison! I will be back on the monthly membership.

Convenient, rewarding and affordable
We were extremely satisfied with the pro-level course. We found the price to be very affordable for everything offered. We also found Michele's training methods to be extremely rewarding and effective. We loved the flexibility if going through the course both on our own time, as well as at our own pace. As first time dog parents, we were very grateful to have found and participated in this course! Thank you!!
