Sample prior student comments:- 

Julie C - I have always taken my dogs to Training classes, and I have never learnt so much as

I did in Marcia's Classes, she certainly knows her stuff. I will recommend her to everyone.

Jessica C. - Marcia is amazing and really knows how to train our whole family.

Jeff H. - Taught me how to take control.

Ashley & Shawn. - Very helpful, hands on, answered a lot of questions. Helped a lot with our crazy puppy.

Shaslo M.& Elanor M. - I learned how to train our dog properly. Excellent Trainer.

Shirl & Bob B. - We took our 2 standard poodle puppies to Marcia's Puppy Class and were more than pleased with the training. She took the time to make sure everyone understood how to train our puppies each week and gave us homework to re-enforce what we learned in class. We thought she was very knowledgeable about all types of dogs and their behaviours. There were about 12 dogs in our class and each one reacted differently and Marcia was able to change some of methods of training to suit each dog. Her sense of humour added to the fun of class. Our dogs loved coming to class and interact with the other dogs as well

References from Other Professionals  

"Marcia is a trainer with over 20 years experience and it shows, she takes into account the dog owner/dog team. Very personable she understands that every team is unique and does not use a cookie cutter approach when training a dog. She sees the world from the dog perspective and translates that into "human". I enjoy working with Marcia because she is straight forward, professional and very knowledgeable about dogs and people."

"I first met Marcia because I was looking for a Certified Canine Behaviorist to interview for a dog book I am writing. In her recent interview with me she displayed vast and comprehensive knowledge of the evolution of the dog, domesticated dog behavior, nutrition and training. She exemplifies a superior understanding of how dogs need to live and function in our society today, using the safest and most effective training methods. Marcia has also coached me with some great tips for by newly adopted 140 pound rescued Bullmastiff. All paws up for Marcia."

"Marcia has in-depth knowledge of dogs and dog behaviour. She also has the people skills to work well with the people who bring their dogs to her. The result? Better dogs and happy clients."
