Mariah Dog Training

Mariah did an outstanding job with our very hyper Weimaraner puppy, Dolly. Her training techniques are so great; after 1 or 2 times, Dolly knew exactly what she was supposed to do. (I'd like to give Dolly credit for being so smart, but I know Mariah is really the one who deserves it - she knows what she's doing!) I will recommend Mariah/Orlando Dog Whisperer to anyone needing assistance with puppy and dog training.

Although my husband and I had been told by friends and family that is raising a puppy is like raising an infant we were in for a shock when decided to welcome a very high energy, hypoallergenic miniature Golden Doodle to our family. As cuddly and teddy bear cute as Maggie Mae was, she was also not potty or crate trained, had no obedience training at all, had guarding issues, and struggled with being over-ly social, if there is such a thing. When we tried to walk on a leash she got very excited about each person we walked past, and would have to run to them to say hi and get attention. While this was a great way to meet our neighbors, walking with Maggie in a social setting on a leash was impossible. As new puppy owners, one of our concerns was whether or not we even had the right crate set up in our home. We struggled with putting her in the crate at night and wanted to be sure that we were doing everything we could to make our puppy comfortable. We called Mariah because we were looking for a one-on-one training with someone that would be willing to come home and customize our trainings just for Maggie. Mariah not only helped us with crate training Maggie, but each time she came we worked on a different skill. As working people, it was very convenient that she was able to come to us. Each training was about an hour long. It started out with Mariah asking us how Maggie was doing, followed by walking us through how we can address each problem. We would walk through various training lessons with Maggie during the hour time, then she would tell us things to work in-between lessons to reiterate the skill. Mariah understands how dogs learn, and was great at explaining the person to dog psychology to us so we were confident that we were making the right choices for our new family member. At just 9 months old now, Maggie can now sit, lay down, stay, walks on a leash, and is completely potty and crate trained. She is also able to pass by a random cotton ball on the floor, or paper towel on the coffee table without wanting to grab it an run. As newlyweds, my husband are and I are careful with our money, and I can say without doubt that Mariah's training is an outstanding value for the peace of mind we now have as owners have a very happy, well trained puppy dog that has a foundation of skills that she will have for life.

Mariah was amazing with our dog, Bear! Before we started training with Mariah, we had reached our breaking point. Now, we are able to enjoy our dog again. Mariah really knows her stuff, and provided tons dozen extra resources and little tricks that we use every day. Mariah cared for Bear and her success, as if she were one of her own dogs. This made training that much more enjoyable. If you are looking for someone who is professional, and will show you results, look no further. Thank you for everything, Mariah! -Carly, TC, and Bear
