Pet training isn’t just about your pet. In fact, the most integral part of the training process is you. That’s why I work with you to make sure your training plans are built around you and your dog. My goal is to help you better understand your dog and who they are, while teaching the both of you how to better communicate, be consistent, and enjoy the learning that you will both experience.

A little about your Trainer
My dogs are my kids, and living in a six dog house hold I wanted to make sure that I did all I could to keep structure and calmness in my home. This can be hard when you are working with insecurities in a dog. I new it was time to educate myself on how to achieve my goals.
After finishing my Advanced Dog Training and Behavioral Specialty schooling I now have what I was striving for. It was a lot of work and still is on occasions but the joy I get from understanding my dogs, is one I wanted to give to others.
No matter what service you book with me, you’re guaranteed to learn everything there is to know about raising a respectful and problem-free pet.
At Love and Loyalty Dog Training, my aim is to provide real solutions to the most common challenges that pet owners face. Through expert behavioral coaching and applying kind, approachable, and humane principles, I am here to help you alleviate all of that unwanted owner stress.

Sawyer graduated from training today! Melissa has been a godsend and honestly, I don't think we would have survived puppyhood without her guidance. She's kind & nurturing & the best trainer in the East Bay. I can't recommend her enough.

Love and Loyalty dog training with Melissa has helped Bella and I with her walking she no longer pulls, walks are enjoyable. She can reign back in and focus. We are still learning for she is a stubborn Bulldog, but learning and a bundle of joy.
Bella The Bulldog
Melissa trained our 3 year old rat terrier to not be afraid of wearing his collar and walk on a leash. She starts with baby steps and uses positive reinforcement to let the dog know they are getting it. Her knowledge, patience, and love for animals shines through. Along with Melissa's training and guidance and working with our Rat Terrier everyday, Gunnar was walking on a leash in no time. Thank you Melissa!!!
Gunner, Rat Terrier
Two years ago we brought home a beautiful 8 monthToy Rat Terrier, Lexy. This breed was new to us and wanted to make sure we started training her properly from the beginning. Bringing home a new puppy can be very stressful, but once we reached out to Melissa, she immediately eased our stress. Melissa came to our home for every training and helped us through each puppy phase including safeguarding our home, obedience, leash and potty training. She not only gave us an abundance of knowledge but tips and tools to use from day 1 and still use today. Most importantly, she is very patient, dependable and listens to your concerns. As our dog develops and changes in life, we still reach out for advice and training needs. Melissa truly is a dog whisperer and we highly recommend her as a dog trainer, for all stages!
