A Well-Trained Dog is a Good Dog!

Training is one of the best things you can do for you and your canine companion.

1. Behavioral Control: Training provides you with the means to effectively manage your dog's behavior. This includes teaching them basic obedience commands like sit, stay, come, and down, which are essential for their safety and your peace of mind.

2. Communication: Training enhances communication between you and your dog. It allows you to establish a common language and understand each other's cues and signals better, fostering a stronger bond between you and your pet.

3. Safety: Proper training helps keep your dog safe in various situations. For example, teaching them to come when called can prevent them from running into dangerous situations like traffic or encountering aggressive animals.

4. Socialization: Training exposes your dog to different environments, people, and animals, which helps them become well-adjusted and socially competent. Socialization can prevent behavioral issues such as aggression or fearfulness towards strangers or other dogs.

5. Mental Stimulation: Training exercises your dog's mind, providing mental stimulation and preventing boredom. This is particularly important for intelligent breeds or high-energy dogs who may become destructive or develop behavioral problems if they don't receive adequate mental stimulation.

6. Building Confidence: Training helps build your dog's confidence and self-esteem as they learn new skills and behaviors. This is especially beneficial for shy or anxious dogs, as training can help them overcome their fears and become more confident in various situations.

7. Relationship Building: Training sessions offer valuable opportunities for you and your dog to bond and strengthen your relationship. Positive reinforcement techniques used in training foster trust and mutual respect between you and your pet.

8. Legal Requirements: In some areas, owning a dog may come with legal responsibilities, including obedience training and leash laws. Ensuring your dog is well-trained can help you comply with these regulations and avoid potential legal issues.

Overall, training your dog is essential for their well-being, safety, and the harmonious coexistence between you, your pet, and your community.

  • Jordan

    Thank you Marlene for helping Jordan and me out!! He is definitely a challenging but loving boy, and because of your help as a trainer Jordan developed into an amazing, calm boy. We always get complimented on how well he behaves. We will absolutely miss you!! ~Jordan’s Mom

  • Willow

    We absolutely adore Marlene! Everywhere we go, we get stopped and asked how Willow is so well behaved. Thanks Marlene for also training us on how to be good parents to our fur babies, so they can shine and be their best selves!! ~Willow’s Moms

  • Cleveland

    Marlene was my dog’s trainer and he wouldn’t be getting all these compliments like “wow your dog is so good” without her. ~Cleveland’s Mom

  • Demi & Dakota

    Marlene is absolutely the best! We love her, more so Dakota and Demi! She is just so patient, loving and caring when it comes to training dogs. Dakota was a tornado when we adopted but after never giving up, countless in-home training and homework assignments, Dakota is ultimately the most prim and proper dog you will ever meet in my house! Let’s just say I can just give her the eyes and she knows. As for Demi, It took one package training with Marlene at home and that little dog is just as advanced as Dakota. We love her so much. Zamora fam! ~ Dakota & Demi’s Mom

  • Luka

    Marlene is definitely the best in her profession. I trust her advice and I love her dedication to training. She truly enjoys what she does and it shows on the dogs she trains in group sessions. I can’t imagine how much more he would be attached to her in an individual training packet. When I take him for an obedience level 2 group session, I would only want Marlene. Thank you Marlene for making the difference. ~Luka’s Owner

  • Maddie

    We started training with Marlene when our dog was a puppy and have continued our training journey with her over the years. Both private lessons as well as group classes have been incredibly helpful and successful at training a well behaved dog, and we’ve leaned so much along the way! We truly can’t say enough good things about Marlene, she is just the best!
