I took my six month old puppy to Melinda Moss at M Squared Dog Training to learn basic obedience and manners. I was very impressed with her skill set and the classes she offered. She was sensitive to both animals and people. She was calm and respectful which helped people feel safe even when the dogs were not cooperating. She also seemed to know exactly what to do to help both the dogs and their handler. I highly recommend her classes for all ages of dogs and handlers.

Mel is dedicated and has the experience to train dogs to be well behaved. She offers different group classes and private lessons to suit ones needs. We have an Australian Shepherd and are extremely pleased with the training. Amazing to see the progress and all the fun things the dog can do!

Melinda was great with our dog Arlo who needs to learn manners and unfortunately doesn’t catch on quickly and she was very patient and informative. We are excited for our next session.

Mel has been a huge help with our 3 rescue border collies. We have been taking classes obedience, rally, & agility for several months and there has been a huge improvement with our pups! Thank you Mel!

I began agility classes 5 months ago at M squared because I was 'stuck' and didn't know how to fix holes in the program that I was in. I am so happy to have found Mel. The classes are small (so everyone gets individual time), and Mel is such a patient instructor who gears the training to individual needs. She helps me to bring out the best in my dog - her training methods are very clear and I wish that I had started out with her -- things are making sense to me (in my case, it is the human that needed the training, not the dog

I don't usually write reviews, but I'd be remiss if I didn't share how thrilled I am at the progress my 9 month old Ridgeback has made after attending just a few classes with Melinda. Her training methods are effective, fun for both the dog and owner, and achieve noteworthy results. Before Melinda, I think the only word my dog knew for sure was "no", but because I said it all the time, it meant nothing to him. It's amazing to see the understanding in his eyes now as he responds to commands and how attentive he is during our walks/training sessions. Melinda has a wealth of knowledge and helpful tips that I happily drive an hour each way to hear. If you're looking for a trainer, look no further than M Squared. I just signed up for another package and can't wait to see what we learn next.

Had a very successful & productive experience with Mel & M Squared Dog Training. My rescue GS was very timid and they were very patient. She soon loved her classes & passed her Good Citizen test. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Mel. I’m very particular when it comes to dog trainers and she has exceeded my expectations. Having taken dozens of dog workshops and classes over the years I can easily say she is extremely knowledgeable and knows the up to date best practices for dog training. Her methods are positive and fun. She is always encouraging and can easily understand the unique needs of your dog. I highly recommend any class Mel offers whether for manners, obedience, recalls, tricks or agility!

If you’re looking for quality, professional, and successful training, Melinda Moss at M Squared Dog Training is the absolute best! I have been looking for the right fit for my Border Collie puppy and myself for best training experience and glad we found a home at M Squared. We went through puppy training and now continuing on for the dog agility experience. In short time my constantly distracted Border Collie has adjusted to becoming a good citizen attentive dog. Melinda's kindness, professionalism, talent, and knowledge really helped shaped my puppy (and me!) for future training endeavors. There is a clear difference in my Border Collie in short term. He can still be a distracted busy dog but now he listens well and definitely knows the response when asked. I really enjoyed working with this trainer and look forward to more opportunities to do so.

I started Agility classes with Mel almost a year ago, and am so happy I chose the M Squared family! Classes are laid back, FUN and every handler/dog team gets a lot of personal attention. My dog has come such a long way since we started at M Squared and I can't thank Mel enough for her patience and guidance this past year. Mel is incredibly adept at working with handlers and dogs of different levels, and providing different techniques to bring out the best in everyone. I highly recommend M Squared to anyone, whether you are looking for agility classes, or manners/obedience classes.

Excellent Training classes. I have been taking classes with Melinda since puppy classes and foundation classes thru Excellent Agility. Her games based positive training is the best and you are able to have fun with your dog and you don't know how much training you are actually doing. My puppy, now 19 months, has an excellent foundation due to Melinda's classes and was able to excel in all areas. She does Rally, CGC, Obedience and Agility. I can take my dogs anywhere and I know they will not run out of my house door or car without permission. My dogs love to work with me and look forward to the next class with Melinda. Everyone should enjoy working with their dogs as much as I do. Thank you M Squared Dog Training!

Melinda is an amazing teacher! Attention to you and your puppy/or dog's individual needs. Provides clear and detailed instruction. She packs a lot into an hour class. And, more importantly makes it fun! I even drive an hour each way to have a great time with my pup!

Amazing classes and amazing results! I have been taking classes with Ms. Melinda for over a year now with my Australian Shepherd Boh. We started agility with 4H and trained many bad habits. Ms. Melinda was able to teach me the proper techniques and positive games that have improved our performance at agility trials. Boh has now earned a number of titles in agility thanks to the excellent instruction provided by Ms. Melinda. Her training games and positive reinforcement strategies have also improved Boh's obedience at home. I fully support and recommend taking her classes!
