Melissa has helped train all of my dogs and is unlike anyone else I've ever seen for dog training…read more Melissa is crazy talented and extremely knowledgeable. She has not only transformed bad behaviors in my dogs but also taught me how to better communicate and work as a team with my dogs. Dog training is a lot of training the owner as well and Melissa is extremely easy to work with, takes the time to make sure you understand everything she is teaching and uses a variety of methods to train your dog to be the best that they can be! I recommend Melissa to everyone. She even helped out of town family members tremendously over FaceTime training to improve leash/walking skills! We love Melissa and you will too!

Melissa came to train my 8 week year old Beagle puppy, Eleanor, every other week until she was 6…read moremonths old, where she graduated to group training session. Melissa is so down to earth and professional. I am a first time dog owner- kinda insane that I got such a stubborn and smart dog (beagles) but Melissa taught me SO much. For those that know how difficult the puppy stage is- I would have never survived it without her. She was available in between training sessions to help if Eleanor started a new bad habit or started a strange behavior. Anytime I had any questions or concerns- Melissa was always available with advice, links to products that saved my mental health. She is a phenomenal trainer, human being and sooo knowledgeable and experienced! Highly recommend!!!!!!

When we first started, she was super sweet but a little unsure of herself in new situations. Thanks to Dale's guidance and calm approach, she's gained so much confidence and it really shows in how she carries herself now. Dale really took the time to get to know Lala and tailor the training to what she needed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Lala was always excited to see him, and we've learned so much as owners, too. If you're looking for a trainer who's patient, knowledgeable, and truly loves what he does, I highly recommend Dale and Top Gun. We're so happy with the progress Lala's made!

Then, I had applied to meet her for adoption & met her, & took her home never looking back. This sweet girl had some tough knocks and behavior issues to go along with them. I enrolled her in a 6 week program with Mighty Dog Services. The team was patient and worked with her throughout the training. Her fear of other dogs, barking at people, pulling on leash walking, nervous pacing, separation anxiety all were resolved. She's a a happy camper that knows what I ask her do, she does it and happily takes praise and treats- and lots of love. They helped this dog overcome a rough past so she can trust and enjoy what she has now. She and I both are extremely thankful for the folks at Mighty Dog Services in Portland TN. They work with all breeds, ages and issues. They truly treat each as an individual and unlock all the potential the dog has to offer. As a dog mom- just as a mom of children. I would rather not fuss at my dog for behavior issues- I just want to love and enjoy them. Its possible , I promise give them a call.

Before I dropped my mini Aussie Samson at his first off leash training with Matt at Allegiant…read moreCanine he was a crazy little pup with A LOT of energy and a nipping problem. I tried to discipline him the best way I knew how but it still wasn't sticking. I didn't have the proper time or experience to reaalllly sit down and do the thing with him and that's what he needed. He had a few manners when he wasn't barking at me to play or jumping from couch to couch, or using my friends' backs as personal climbing posts and licking them to death (let's not even get into the Aussie drive to nip/herd people and things which was the real big problem) Samson was a GOOD baby BUT* My fur pal that was returned to me is now an obedient, more relaxed little man! It hasn't even been 24 hours and I am truly blown away! We still have more training to do together (me more than him) but I am so pleasantly surprised to see how much he has already changed. Thank you Allegiant Canine for not only shaping him into the dog he was always capable of being, but for loving him like he was your own. I know that when he is in Matt's care he's in dog heaven, having the time of his dog life playing with other pups and being out in the country AND getting the HUMAN love and attention he needs. Matt handles each dog in their own special way, spending quality time with each and every one of them I never worried about him-not even for a second. If you're unsure about training or need some questions answered Allegiant Canine will not only give you the info you need, but will happily give a free consultation to meet you and your pup. I highly recommend this man and what he does- he's a dog whisperer for sure ! We love you Matt! Thank you for helping Samson and I have a better life together. I'm looking forward to the years to come with my fluffy angel! Love, Maris & Sam

We can't say enough wonderful things about Chelle and For Social Graces! From the very beginning,…read moreChelle's expert guidance helped us navigate Level One Good Manners training with our dog, Tubbs, and we were so impressed that we immediately renewed our services to continue into Level Two Good Manners. Chelle is the definition of a consummate professional -- knowledgeable, patient, and warm. She shares her expertise in such a nurturing and encouraging way, which makes both the dogs and their humans feel confident and supported. We especially appreciate her positive reinforcement approach, which has not only helped us train Tubbs, but also helped us recognize and "correct" some of our own human habits along the way! As new pet parents navigating adoption, Chelle has been a trusted source of advice and reassurance. Her responsiveness and kindness have meant the world to us, and it's clear she genuinely cares about every dog and family she works with. Beyond training, we plan to be lifelong customers through For Social Graces' boarding, daycare, and grooming services. Tubbs has already enjoyed a brief overnight boarding stay and absolutely loves his daycare visits! Thanks to Chelle's influence, what started as Tubbs' initial apprehension toward car rides has turned into daily excitement -- he knows that car rides often mean getting to see his friends at For Social Graces! While Tubbs has always been a wonderful dog, Chelle and her team have helped his confidence blossom and his manners flourish, strengthening our bond with him in the process. We also really value the small class sizes, which allow for personalized attention and hands-on learning in a calm, friendly environment. Chelle and her team have truly made a lasting difference in our lives. We're so grateful to have found For Social Graces -- and we can't recommend them highly enough! -- Charley, Michael, & Tubbs
