I chose to train with SOS K-9 Training after adopting my rescue dog, Josie, in November 2024. She was fearful of many people, sounds, and situations, so I wanted to start with basic obedience to help build her confidence.
From the free consultation to our final one-on-one session, my experience with SOS K-9 Training—and my trainer, Meloh—has been incredible. Every session was packed with useful information, and there was never a moment wasted. Meloh always made sure I had the tools and training videos I needed to keep working with Josie between sessions.
Even though Josie is fearful of most people, Meloh was still able to create a training environment where she could succeed. After completing our eight private sessions, I’ve seen major progress in her overall confidence and ability to begin to manage her fears. I truly believe this was the best decision for Josie.
I’m excited to continue her growth through SOS K-9’s group sessions and our ongoing training at home. I’m so grateful to SOS K-9 for helping me help Josie come out of her shell.

We had a dog reactive rescue pup. We opted to do 3 week training course with Melo. By the first lesson for us we couldn’t believe the turnaround in our boy. Melo’s lessons are very informative and takes his time. Gives you the tools to be a better dog owner and have a more happy dog. 10/10 recommend
A huge thank you to SOS K9 Training! Our dog Grace isn’t the biggest fan of other dogs, and Mello really took that into account. He listened to everything we shared and made sure Grace felt safe and comfortable the entire time. She absolutely adores him which says a lot. We’ve never met someone who approaches their work with animals with such professionalism, care, and honesty. It’s hard for us to trust people with Grace, especially after she was mauled, but Mello truly advocated for her and treated her with the compassion she deserves. While we were away on vacation, he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. That means the world to us. We highly recommend his services.
These photos were taken as soon as he left. Tired and happy.
THANK YOU
Working with Melo and SOS K9 was the best decision we made with our puppy. From the initial consultation all the way to our last of 8 private lessons, Melo demonstrated a truly remarkable mix of professionalism, knowledge and fun. Our dog, Poppy, loved him right away. He approached every session with a thorough game plan and made sure we felt comfortable training her on our own. He helped us with every aspect of dog training. Reactivity, obedience and confidence were all significantly improved due to his guidance and coaching. Not only is Melo a great dog trainer, he’s a phenomenal human trainer. He gave us the tools needed to set Poppy up for success. On top of the individual lessons, the group lessons have been valuable for us to practice around other dogs. We can’t wait to keep learning with Poppy and we consider ourselves blessed to be part of the SOS K9 community.
