Michele

Owner/Pack Leader & Level 2  IDTA Trainer 

Specialty Certifications: Therapy Dog Trainer

Michele has spent her entire life in the Annapolis area, first for the summers, then full time for the past 20 years. Proximity to Washington and Baltimore is a convenience, but she says “living on the Chesapeake Bay feeds my soul.” Michele is a nurse and has spent her career in training, first to her patients on their health and then in the biotech industry to both healthcare practitioners and ultimately sales reps. Annapolis is a dog loving town, and it seemed like a natural transition to training both dogs and their owners so they can truly experience the joy of owning and loving their well-trained pets. Opening this business with her sister Tina allows Michele to not only continue her passion for training, but also to spend more time with what matters most: her family, which includes 5 grandchildren. 

“The corporate world was good to me, but I am looking forward to moving my career and my skills into my community where I can impact the lives of people right here at home. The last three years have been trying for everyone, and it seems that one solution for many who felt alone or isolated was acquiring a new pet. Nothing soothes the soul like the limitless love of our furry friends.  It is hard to beat the joy in a dogs eyes whenever their owner walks in the door. However, with ownership comes responsibility and I look forward to teaching owners how to train their dogs in a way that is ultimately rewarding for all.”
