We cannot recommend Marnie enough. Her years of experience and depth of understanding of dog…read morebehaviors sets her well apart from other dogs trainers we've had. One thing was clear from the start: Marnie loves dogs and understands them. The first time she came to our home, Jasper immediately took to her, and she to him. Jasper came to us through a shelter, a very sweet, high energy, 1 year old Australian cattle mix. He was smart and eager to please in some ways but pulled hard on walks and, after we had him for several months, became leash reactive and aggressive . We tried two different dog trainers, both highly recommended, but made little progress. From our first in-home lesson, it was clear that Marnie has a depth of understanding of dogs and how to work with them that we had not seen before. She has helped with us to understand the roots of Jasper's negative behaviors, how to help him feel secure, and how to recognize and avoid trouble with aggressive behavior He has improved so much in reactivity and aggression and generally in being more responsive. He's much better at walking without pulling and getting along with others at the dog park. Marni also does both day care and boarding at her home which is surrounded by an acre yard that is totally dedicated to dogs. She gives private lessons there too. With Jasper in among other dogs, Marnie showed us how to "read" his behavior and reactions to the other dogs and how to intervene with firmness and kindness. He loves going to her place and comes back home happy and even better behaved. We cannot recommend Marnie highly enough!

My fiancé and I started with Marnie in September. We adopted a dog that was aggressive towards…read moredogs, our cat, and my partner. We were very fearful we would need to give up the dog for everyone's safety. Marnie was a literal miracle worker. She came to our home AND did work with our dog at her home. Marnie helped to make her into a more confident and safe pet. She is a completely different dog. She is able to be around other dogs and play, other humans and give love, and most amazing be around the cat and not bat an eye. All of this was achieved without any corrective therapy like shock or prong collars. Marnie was a god sent and I would recommend her to anyone with a dog. Regardless of how good or "bad" the dog is. She will help you to communicate and build everyone's confidence so that everyone is safe and happy.

Parker came highly recommended to me as a first-time puppy owner. She came to our home once a week…read moreand worked with Charlie on the basics - sit, down, leave it, recall, down on the mat, find it, check-in with "mommy" when distracted on a walk. For the last of our six sessions we met at a dog-friendly store to show Charlie how to behave in public places. After each session Parker followed up with an emailed outline of what we'd covered and links answering questions that had come up. Parker has a natural rapport with Charlie and he adores her. She's consistently firm with him while taking into account his limitations ("He's a puppy!" she reminded me.) Parker's knowledge, experience and friendliness make her ideally suited for coaching canines and their owners. We're lucky to have found her and we hope to see her again!

I was laid up for several weeks last winter and couldn't walk my dog. My neighbor recommended Hillary and her team to help through my recovery.

I also run a small business and know the challenges, they have never disappointed. This is a really well run business, but it's more than that. They really love animals, and they truly care. I love getting the texts and photos from the visits, moreover I know I don't have to rush home if my day runs late because she's been walked and loved! It's tremendous peace of mind. If you love your pet and are looking for someone you can trust and count on, you need not look any further.

Highly recommend!
