Client Success Stories
“Our experience with Micki has been wonderful and eye-opening. Our rescue pup, Rosie, was afraid of us (and everything that moves) when we adopted her. Micki has taught us so much! We have learned how to help Rosie adapt to all the new things in her world. Rosie has come out of her shell – she is a snuggly, loving little girl – and she’s now doing well meeting other dogs and going out in the world, like dog-friendly restaurants. Our time with Micki had been good for us too – in addition to learning a lot about how to help Rosie, we enjoy our time with Micki! So glad we connected! ”
-Lori, Lisa, and Rosie (Mini Poodle)
“We rescued our Great Pyrenees mix unexpectedly and quickly realized that we were out of our depth in training our incredibly shy puppy, Dottie. She was pretty scared of things (we have a 4-year-old and 3 cantankerous cats) and spent her first few nights sleeping outside. We needed some quality training if we we were going to have social, happy, family pet. This is where Micki came in. They were available quickly, had great communication, and best-of-all created a solid connection with our otherwise aloof puppers. Dottie’s training started with basic steps like walking on a leash (instead of zig zagging everywhere) and not jumping on our child or my aging mother. Under Micki’s creative and kind guidance, we took on coming to us even while off leash, and the Halloween section of Lowe’s. Today, Dottie comes to work with me where she calmly and sweetly interacts with people with disabilities and all their assistive technology devices. We love how much she enjoys getting out and meeting new people. None of this would have been possible without Micki’s support. If you need a dog trainer, you found the best.”
-Emily and Dottie
"I pride myself in being self sufficient, and getting things done on my own. When it comes to my Sadie girl, I realized that I’m not equipped to do what is best for her by myself. Sadie is a rescue from TX. No one knows exactly what trauma she may have had early on in life, but she’s displayed a lack of confidence and can be reactive in unfamiliar situations, along with a tendancy to be overly excited / fixated on our walks together, to the point they weren’t a good time for either of us."
"When we met Micki, the owner and creator of Fluff Scouts, our lives were forever changed for good! Micki has a special gift as a dog trainer, and expands on that gift through determination, patience, persistence, and continued education. Her work with Sadie has yielded amazing results! I see Sadie’s overall confidence growing, and it fills my heart with delight!"
"There was a moment of pure joy, wonder, and admiration the first time I took Sadie on a loose leash walk. Micki in just a few sessions had accomplished what I could not have done by myself, and I will be forever grateful that my wonderful Sadie is becoming the dog she was always meant to be!"
-Karla and Sadie
IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO HELP SADIE DEVELOP THESE IMPRESSIVE LOOSE LEASH WALKING SKILLS, AS WELL AS THE CONFIDENCE TO COPE WITH THE VARIOUS TRIGGERS THAT THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT PRESENTS.
