She took the time to understand my puppy's personality and needs, and her calm, positive approach made such a difference. It was great that she provided us with updates while our puppy was being trained. Julie also goes above and beyond for her clients--she even dropped off my puppy on her own birthday and spent extra time with us at home to make sure we were trained and confident. I truly appreciate her dedication and the genuine care she puts into her work. Not only is Julie wonderfully effective, but she also explains everything in a way that makes sense for the owner. When my puppy came home, she walked us through all the training, answered every question, and ensured we knew how to keep reinforcing the good habits. Thanks to her, our puppy has grown into a more confident, attentive, and well-mannered little companion. If you're looking for someone compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your dog's success, I highly recommend Julie!

I adopted my Malinois from Del Mar Dog Rescue, whom Julie was fostering her from! Our Mali was so…read morewell trained when I first got her, but as a first time dog mom I didn't know how to keep up with what Julie has taught. Luckily I reached out to her and got a great lesson of how to address my Mali's behavioral concerns. Julie remember my sweet girl even though it had been over 6 months and my little girl remembered the place so quickly and was so happy to be back! You can tell her training and energy is filled with so much love and creates such strong and long-lasting bonds! Felt like i completely had a different dog after a hour training and learned so much more about her. So relieved to know a trainer like Julie!

Teri is a miracle worker!! We adopted a dog from one of the local shelters earlier this year, and…read morewhile he was a puppy at only three months old, wanted to make sure there were no bad habits that developed. Our pup, Farley, was pretty nervous in public places, and had high anxiety whenever we left. After a few visits with Teri (she comes to your home to train-score!), we learned the signs of his anxiety and were able to work with him to make sure that he got past these fears quickly. Not only is he wonderful to walk with the now (though we nick-named him Pokey since he loves to smell EVERYTHING), we bring him out wherever we can and he is wonderful with people, kids, and other dogs. He was an easy dog to train once we knew the secrets from Teri-and we are so grateful for her guidance. Thank you Teri so much!!

I loved working with Teri. She was super compassionate with my dog's needs (he is going blind and…read moreis deaf). She completely understood my concerns and my dog's behavioral problems. I've had my dog for 15 years now and he's always had aggression problems but it suddenly got scary this year after we moved out of a home he and I had lived in for his entire life to relocate for my work. She's super gentle, does NOT use a nasty choke chain or pull some abhorrent Caesar Milan rubbish on your dog and that is what I was looking for. My dog is my baby, he has been for 15+ years, and I wanted a gentle hand, not a smack across the face. She doesn't raise her voice or stare them down to assert dominance. Teri works her magic with patience and understanding instead of fear and dominance and for that, she has my utmost respect. Please give her a shot! Sadly, we had to stop working with her because we're moving soon but I plan on checking in with her as soon as we get settled! She's a rare gem in a crazy world.

Just finished Family Basic 1 class and I am amazed at how much my dog has learned and transformed…read more The class is very in depth and focuses on both dog behavior but also owner handling. It helped build a stronger bond between my pup and I and with her being a rescue it really helped her gain more confidence and come out of her shell. MaryBeth is a true dog whisperer and the bond she has with every dog she comes in contact with is amazing. Over the course of 5 weeks my pups has learned at least 10 commands and words and it motivated me to actively practice and keep my pup engaged.

MaryBeth was able to coach us through the tough times of sleep training and potty training with very simple instructions that worked! She also showed us techniques to help with nipping and excessive barking. We saw results immediately through her methods and continue practicing with her. We attended MaryBeth's Puppy Start Class, Basic Training Class, and now we're currently enrolled in the AKC Canine Good Citizen training. We are so grateful to MaryBeth for sharing her knowledge and expertise with us. We feel so much more prepared to handle anything concerning our dog's behavior. One last important thing to note is that MaryBeth truly believes in positive, fear-free training. I highly recommend MaryBeth Knowles and Canines Content, as she is lovely to work with and very knowledgeable.

I have 2 rescued mutts, one is a lunkhead and probably played too much tackle football without a helmet in a past life. My other dog is too smart for her own good and seems like she's on a combination of Jolt cola and high octane coffee most of the time. We started working with Cindy a few weeks ago, just on basic good doggy behavior such as not rushing the door when the doorbell rings or knocks, walking instead or pulling on leash, and getting them to understand that we are not here to service them or have them call the shots. We had to take a few weeks off due to travel and more recently, some surgery I had done, so we still have 3 of the 6 weeks left of our course. I love the fact that she was able to work with us without any out of pocket penalty, and is available by phone for advice and support. (When we got back from our trip, the dogs decided to retaliate our absence by leaving presents for me on my office floor). As soon as I get the green light from my doc, I'll be calling Cindy ASAP to resume training of my nutty mutts. On a side note, she has us training them to go to the carpet in the dining room, away from the door when the doorbell rings, now when someone comes to the door, they automatically run there and wait patiently (may throw in a bark or two) but no longer rush the door like they want to eat the visitor. Yay for Cindy!!!
