CANINE PAWZABILITES was started by Michele LaBagh when the need for dog training and other services in our area grew beyond what was available. Having trained dogs for many years, she began teaching public classes for the Monticello Kennel Club, while breeding, showing and training her own dogs   (M&M Mountain Dogs). As the club's Training Director, she refined her skills in training PEOPLE to train their dogs, becoming a CPTD (Certified Pet Dog Trainer) Her own accomplishments in the dog world are evident in the myriad of titles she has completed with her own Bernese Mountain Dogs. The versatility she has exhibited with her own dogs speaks for itself. Also very close to her heart, is the work people do with Therapy dogs. Visit the CGC/Therapy page for more information about this important work. Michele has developed Canine Pawzabilities to enrich all the Dogs and Owners who participate.  She has designed a training program that is fun, motivated, energetic and yet, easy enough for anyone to have fun with. Once you complete a Six week Program she is sure that you will find many creative things to do with your canine companion. If we make training dogs fun, then it will become something for both you and your dog to benefit from.
