Conquering Chaos - Building Balance For Both Ends of the leash

Do you have a dog that barks, lunges and growls at other people/dogs?
Does going for a walk stress you out?
Do you feel lost/sad/frustrated because life with your dog isn’t what you dreamed of?
Living with a sensitive dog—one who is fearful, anxious, or easily overwhelmed—can feel like navigating chaos. But you don’t have to do it alone.
This 1:1 online program is designed to support you, the owner, just as much as your dog. Because your emotional wellbeing matters. Your experience matters. And healing happens on both ends of the leash.
 
 
This is not just about dog behavior—it’s about restoring balance, building trust, and creating calm in your shared life.

“Archie’s Friday afternoon snifari withi Michelle was so good for him. At first he was quite skiddish of trying to find some yummy treats but as Michelle worked with him we saw him gain confidence and courage to move objects out of the way and get those treats. Thanks Michelle! and he was quite exhausted afterwards.”

"I highly recommend Michelle and Paws With Me K9 Enrichment and Training! My dog and I completed Sniffari this month and we both had a blast! There are rotating themed sessions for even more fun... With each session I could see her confidence building as she experienced different textures, sounds, scents, and puzzles. I loved watching her moving about so freely and happy while her nose worked non-stop to investigate...Michelle was amazing too and provided lots of guidance! She has so many good enrichment ideas and adjusts sessions to meet each dog’s needs and comfort level. Thank you for weeks of fun and a lifetime of memories!

Chloe and I can’t thank you enough for this incredible experience. Your calm quiet approach for my cautious little one has been the best experience for this little one. Paws With Me K9 Enrichment & Training and Canine Connection, LLC and all that they have to offer has been the best find in the Lakes Region for enrichment, socialization and exercise for my Chloe. We look forward to see what more we can do together.

I’ve become a regular in Michelle’s activities... Michelle does an amazing job of giving Hanson space as a reactive dog. He’s able to watch the other dogs & when I sense he’s hyper focusing I can walk away for him to decompress. These classes are a safe place to change the way a reactive dog feels about triggers.

I highly recommend Paws With Me K9 Enrichment & Training. Michelle is AMAZING! From the beginning it was all about my pup. Michelle sat down with me and got to know Finley through my stories I shared with her. With the information I shared, Michelle was able to make suggestions with different areas of Finley's life (ex: play time, crate time, exercise time, etc.). Finley has come so far in the last several months. He no longer destroys things around the house and his new favorite thing to do is play with cardboard boxes! It's a riot to watch!! Thank you for all your help!!!
