Testimonials

¨Mariah is a wonderful dog trainer. She worked with my dog and me for several weeks and was always kind and patient with my 1 year old, high energy dog. She was also patient and helpful with my million and one questions.  By the end of our term, my dog was walking calmly on a leash which was our main goal as well as sitting and laying down on command among other “miracles”! Mariah made me realize more than half the battle is training the dog’s owner and I learned SO much from her in a short time.  Her love of animals as well as her love of her profession is wonderful to see and experience.  I highly recommend Mariah to anyone with a dog who needs training.¨
