Mariah Dog Training

Mariah was exceptional with our new St Bernard puppy! We needed help especially with the size of the dog and the fact we have a 5 year old daughter who adores the puppy!! She was firm but gentle with the puppy - reassuring with our family that what we expected would be attainable. We are continuing to practice what she taught us and will continue with her lessons until we have reached our goals!!

Mariah is a great balance of encouraging and humorous which works well when you have THREE dachshunds that all have different needs. She works well with my new puppy teaching her general manners and obedience, my teenager with reactivity issues and my old-souled fearful girl that is scared of her own shadow. I have tried other trainers. Mariah definitely hits the mark with her positive reinforcement and patience while training the humans and the dogs in the house.

Mariah has been training my 10 week old Vizsla puppy for the last 3 weeks. She had experience working with high energy puppies which has proven to be extremely helpful. I enrolled him in the puppy boot camp program and continue to see improvements every week. I would highly recommend Mariah to anyone that is seeking professional dog training. She is easy to work with, always on time and ensures that the owners feel comfortable with each technique before continuing.

Mariah was excellent at working with our Doberman puppy - she quickly identified behavioral issues that were bothering us and worked with Kurt during the 3 week boot camp to teach him appropriate behavior - she also worked with me and my husband which might have been more difficult than working with our puppy!!! I have also done group courses with Mariah and have been very happy with the experiences! She is certainly very knowledgeable and great to work with - I will be working with her again to continue to refine my dogs behavior.

Mariah is as much people trainer as she is a dog trainer. We have used her in-home training services for the foundation skills and commands as well as her group classes for both of rescue dogs. One of the benefits of the latter for us is the ability for one of our dogs - who has a hard time meeting new dogs on the leash - to socialize with other dogs in a structured environment. On top of all the training, she always does a great job with follow-up and additional educational material. I wish training with Mariah was mandatory for all new dog owners.
