We’re grateful for Mary's expertise. In just two sessions, she gave us the tools we needed to understand and make progress with our puppy’s reactivity towards people. Her advice made a huge difference, and we have seen real improvement when it comes to how our dog behaves around new people. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much! Behavior change can’t happen without great guardians 🐾💕
When we first adopted our dog from the shelter, we wanted to give him a happy life. Training was a big part. After lots of extensive research, I was able to find Mary. An email and phone call later, she was able to come to our house to assess our dog. A few months later, our dog is now an AKC Canine Good Citizen and is working towards becoming a trick dog. Mary not only shows you how to train your dog, but teaches you the signs of what your dog is trying to tell you. She provides lots of sources, instructional guides and videos. I’ve also seen other dogs in her class grow from her training. Highly recommend!

Mary is a dedicated dog trainer who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is patient, engaging in class, and always willing to give feedback. She has helped take my dog from crazy puppy to well behaved puppy. I couldn’t recommend her more for any training or behavioral needs!

We first came to Mary to help socialize our five month old Jack Russel terrier and have had home visits, been to group classes and done take and train sessions. Mary has helped us with reactivity and obedience. Two years later, we have people around the neighborhood that. Implement us on how much progress our pup has made. We couldn’t have come this far without Mary’s help. 🧡

Mary is the most amazing trainer and person. She genuinely cares about her clients, both human and canine. We booked with Mary for private in-home puppy training as well as the AKC star puppy group training. For the in home sessions, Mary did an excellent job on educating us about our dog, his life stage, and the benefits of specific lessons. We received homework to practice after each session as well as a personalized summary email that detailed everything covered in the session along with example training videos and any other helpful resources. Our puppy received his AKC star puppy in April but we plan to continue attending group classes for other AKC certifications. Mary is such a special resource and has really trained us on how to better be there for our puppy and empower him to make good decisions. We highly, highly recommend Mary!

Mary is fantastic! She’s been great in helping my high energy puppy learn new tricks and manners. She spends time getting to know each dog in class and comes up with unique training solutions.
