About Us
Welcome to Pike’s Pups Dog Training, where every dog has the potential to thrive! Founded and led by Melissa Tower Pike, a seasoned dog trainer with 15 years of experience, Pike’s Pups specializes in building trust, confidence, and lasting bonds between dogs and their owners.
Melissa has a particular passion for working with reactive dogs, both on and off leash. Whether your dog struggles with fear, frustration, or overstimulation, she uses compassionate, science-backed techniques to address reactivity in a way that promotes calm, controlled behavior in any situation.
At Pike’s Pups, we believe every dog is unique, which is why all of our training plans are custom-created to suit your dog’s individual needs. Our methods are minimally aversive, grounded in the latest behavioral science, and designed to prioritize your dog’s well-being. Melissa emphasizes behavior management as a critical first step, providing tools and strategies to set you and your dog up for success, followed by behavior modification to achieve long-term results.
Let us help you and your pup overcome challenges and create a harmonious life together—because every dog deserves a chance to shine!
