What people have asked about this business.
Do you offer services for dog-to-dog aggression?
Yes, I absolutely do fix dog to dog aggression. I often times find the dog is not aggressive but reactive instead. My dogs will be able to tell the difference if the dog is aggressive, reactive, or sometimes just nervous or excited.

You trained my Chihuahua a couple of years ago to stop trying to bite people. That was awesome. I called you a couple of months later and you explained the house breaking for the hard to housebreak dog. Can I still come to class?
Yes. Classes for my clients are life long. If you have a specific or new issue please call me. No extra charge for extra help.

Gwenevere Marx is not your typical trainer. We desperately needed help with our aggressive rescue. We lost a senior dog and wanted to add to our pack. It would not be possible if we had not first done some serious rehabilitative work. Gwen gave us the tools to give this dog a better life. She loves going to the group training where there are other dogs like her. We all worked really hard and followed Gwens expertise and were able to add a puppy to our family. I recommend Gwen for your dog training needs. A huge bonus is meeting other dogs and owners.

My husband and I hired Lehigh Valley dog training and behavior to work with our dog noodles. I bought a standard poodle puppy from a reputable breeder. by the time he was five months old. He had become as Gwen put a Knucklehead. Gwen explained to me that I had accidentally reversed his housebreaking. She showed me how to correct that and he came around very quickly. Another problem that I had was that he was so bouncy. I couldn't get him to settle. Gwen and her assistant used a very natural easy technique to correct that problem. Another problem was he would not be crate trained. He would bark all night long all day long if I had him in the crate. I felt cornered if I left him out of the crate he would go to the bathroom anywhere in the house. If I had him in the crate he would bark and sometimes work himself into a tizzy. I was so frustrated. Things have been turned around now thankfully. He was always loving he was just so nuts. Thank you Gwen for all of your hard work and straightening this out. I just love the assistant that you brought with you. She was so helpful as well. My dog now loves to play with other dogs and has respect for them thanks to Gwen's dogs. Gwen even watched my dog while I had a short hospital stay. I only have good things to say.

Our experience was nothing less then amazing! Gwen and Ashley her assistant came to our home and worked diligently with us and our dogs to identify their problems and work to solve them. Our dogs are rescues and both come with some baggage, but with her help and advice, we are VERY hopeful that our dogs lives have been changed for the better. We HIGHLY recommend Lehigh Valley Dog Training!

We had a 4 month old German Shepherd puppy that was biting and out of control. We were ready to rehome her. Gwen came to the house with her German Shepherds who taught her how to behave. She was there for three hours and explained why this was happening and what to do. We saw an immediate improvement. We attend the Sunday training classes. It is an amazing sight of sometimes 65 dogs with individual needs which are all being addressed. I highly recommend this.
