DOG TRAINING
My name is Mel and I am the founder of Jazz Paws Dog Training. I am a certified dog trainer. While I'm an all around animal lover (shoutout to all the cats I've had in my life, especially my current one), dogs truly have my heart.
My dream came true when I was 17 years old. I finally had my own dog. She was my everything and will forever be my best friend. Unfortunately, she passed extremely suddenly at a very young age. My heart was broken, and for a while being around other dogs was too challenging as it would bring back all the memories of my girl.
7 years later and now my ultimate goal in life is to honor her by giving all dogs and dog owners an amazing quality of life. I have decided to dedicate my life to dogs and I couldn't be happier about it!
This one's for you Jazz, love you forever.
At Jazz Paws Dog Training we strive to create a strong bond between human and dog in order to make the lives of all dogs and dog owners as “pawsome” as can be! We believe in using science-based positive reinforcement techniques with all pups. We can help with any and all basic obedience cues and behaviors!'
Is your dog afraid of grooming tools, teeth brushing, water etc? No “pawblem”! Through consent-based positive reinforcement approaches, we can get your dog desensitized to any and all stimuli!
Mel is truly exceptional! When I got my first ever dog this summer, I had no idea how much work a 4- month-old puppy would require. Thankfully, Mel was there to support me throughout the entire process. Not only is she an amazing trainer, but she also demonstrates immense patience and love when working with my dog, Rex. Her passion for dogs and training is evident in everything she does. Mel goes above and beyond to stay connected with me, even on her off days. She provides me with detailed food plans, lists of stimulating activities for Rex, and treatment plans to help break my puppy’s bad habits. Thanks to Mel’s guidance and expertise, Rex has transformed into the perfect pup in just two months! I can’t thank Mel enough for all she has done.
I had an amazing experience with Mel as my dog trainer. I have two toy poodles, both of which are very different ages. My 12 year old Lucy has always been an incessant barker. After almost 12 years of dealing with this we finally have improvement! My 3 year old Rosie tends to whine and beg for treats at all times. Mel was amazing at addressing the issues of my two very different dogs and gave me so many tips and tricks for me to do on my own time. I've seen such a change in both my dogs and am so thankful for Mel’s constant professionalism and patience. You can tell that she has true passion for animals and puts so much heart into what she does. I would absolutely recommend Mel for any other dog lover who wants to train their dog in a loving and effective way!
We had the best experience with Mel and Jazz Paws! Our dog was such a barker and we were starting to feel like nothing would ever work. After a short amount of time working with Mel we saw so much improvement. He also has anxiety and we were able to work through that as well and we are so happy that he is calm and more at ease now. Mel was so kind and caring towards us and our dog. It is clear that she loves what she does and has passion and professionalism every time she worked with our dog.
