About
I help overwhelmed dog owners like you, develop the relationship you’ve always been looking for with your dog! I am a behavior consultant and obedience trainer. With my perspective of dog training you will learn dog psychology, effective house manner skills, and obedience training for family homes or more advanced obedience. I offer behavior modification services for behavioral issues like aggression and fear. I love giving dogs and owners the ability to communicate with each other. The bond, respect, and ease that comes with proper communication is like no other. To share that with others is my favorite.

Hired on Thumbtack

Maris was so professional, from the moment she arrived. She immediantly focused on the dog and observed his behaviors. She was so nice to work with, and asked us what our goals were with this dog. I also personally felt validated when she told us this dog was a liability; it was good to hear and needed to be said.

Maris is just awesome. She helped us through a huge dilemma, basically saved our dog!! She was professional, quick to respond, and even after our training session was completed, has been very responsive to additional questions and keeps me up to date with articles and tips via email. We trust her completely and our dog has been so much more of a joy. Maris helped us understand our dogs behavior and also our own and how seriously they effect each other. We are so grateful for all Maris has done for us!

Maris helped us train our 5 month old Golden Retriever. She taught us all we needed to successfully train our pup (which is ongoing). She is very professional, confident and knowledgeable and we highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about training their dog.

Maris is the best! She helped us so much. When I started to work with her my dog was biting me and others and she had killed 3 raccoons in our yard. Maris took my dog to re-socialize her with her pack of dogs for a couple of weeks and did some intensive training with me. She taught me how to walk the dogs (I have 2) so they are by my side, not in front. She had me use a simple lead high on the neck so I could give a little tug to direct/correct. She also taught me the "Nothing in Life is Free" method. With this my dogs have to follow a simple command before they get a privilege and I go first through doors; symbolically in the lead. I think this made a huge difference. Maris also told me to make sure Maddie is socialized at least twice a week with people or other dogs which I do regularly. Both my dogs were from rescue organizations. Maddie was 3 months old when I got her so that window to socialize was pretty well closed. She seemed to just get worse over the years and really bad after my older, calm dog died. My friends all say Maddie is like a different dog since Maris entered the picture. I think she is, too. She is much calmer, comes when I call and follows commands very well. I am able to walk her without problems and take her to the off leash dog park. She hasn’t bitten me since Maris worked with us and she is good around visitors. I could not recommend Maris more highly. I think you will be very pleased if you give her a try.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Evaluations are for dogs needing behavior modification. Prices vary depending on location, but generally the most expensive part of the process is the evaluation. I need to go over a thorough history of the dog to get to the bottom of the behaviors. Basic obedience prices also vary on location. Group classes are taught for 6 weeks for $100. Private lesson prices can vary on your location. We work in the comfort of your home.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Provide as much details as you possibly can about what your goals are with your dog. If you have bizarre behaviors that you need behavior modification for, try to get videos of the behaviors in case we cannot recreate them during an evaluation.
