Michelle Wallenstein
My name is Michelle Wallenstein and I’m the animal care manager at H.A.L.O. no-kill animal rescue.
My role at H.A.L.O. is to oversee any medical or behavioral issues concerning the animals under my care.
My aspirations at H.A.L.O. are to enrich the lives of these animals, both mentally and physically, until they find their forever homes.
Some interesting facts about me include; Zoo keeping for over 10 years and training numerous species such as, crocodilians, lemurs, anteaters and exotic birds!
I’ve also been doing outreach programs with exotic animals at schools, libraries and churches for 5 years, teaching children about conservation.
My training specialties include; leash walking skills, puppy training and unique tricks such as paddleboarding! I would love to work with your family to provide mental and physical stimulation to make your dog(s) successful and live a long happy life.
Nikki Cruz
Fun fact! I was raised in a Military family and spent 26 years traveling around the world, meeting new people and adapting to all walks of life. With this experience, it’s allowed me to help teach animals, (humans too!) to adjust to the environment around them.
I specialize in Obedience, Leash-Walking, Socialization (which includes exploration, confidence building and social interactions between people and animals) as well as Puppy Training!
My goal is to help create a stable foundation for you to form a strong bond with your dog so you can grow and learn together.
Jeff Bolling
I started my professional training career in 1986 and have worked with many different types of animals at various zoological institutions.
During my tenure at zoos, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to focus on implementing and maintaining several elephant behavior training programs. These elephant training programs were built on the theory of positive reinforcement and allowed animal husbandry staff and veterinary staff to provide the elephants with the utmost quality of care.
As a Curator at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the COO at the National Elephant Center, I was elected as a training instructor of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association for 10 years.
My start at H.A.L.O. began in 2014 when I got involved to help train a few behaviorally challenging dogs.
Since, I have shifted my focus to helping dog owners build a positive relationship built on leadership and trust.
I am confident that we can help improve your relationship and lead you both to success.
“I met Nikki back in 2018 right after I had adopted Harley (also formerly known as Munchkin) from H.A.L.O. No-Kill Rescue Shelter. Harley was just a baby when she met Nikki and I wanted the best possible guidance for Harley since she was so young. Nikki worked with Harley and I for years and throughout those years Harley has grown into the best well trained dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. Harley walks incredibly well on her leash both in public and at home. She is social, willing, and brave due to Nikki’s incredible training and commitment to her. Nikki not only trained her but trained me to be the best handler I could be for her. Throughout the years I have watched Nikki work with dogs who didn’t have the foundation Harley was provided and instead found themselves with different hardships. Nikki took these dogs under her wing and made them into dogs that could find courage and strength within themselves. She eased their anxieties and gave them a foundation like my Harley has so they can grow and become the best companions. If you are looking for not just a trainer, but someone who will teach both you and your dog and build a relationship of trust and guidance between both of you, Nikki is the person for you. She is a genuine soul who when you meet her you can feel the love and passion she has for what she does. She is worth every minute, penny, and more. Thank you Nikki for making me into a better handler and for giving my Harley the foundation she needed to be such a great dog.”
“I would like to highly recommend Michelle Lee for any of your animal training needs. She is very experienced and has a very strong compassion for all God’s creatures. Within the past year, I had a need for her services. She trained my puppy on a weekly basis for a few months, and the behavioral change in him was impressive. She showed extreme patience with him and used a vast array of training techniques to get him to be a well behanved puppy. She cares about the animal’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs. I don’t hesitate to recommend her, she’s wonderful!”
