Is your dog running your life? I’m Mary - and I specialize in the dogs other trainers won’t touch.
I’m the founder and head trainer of Mother of Beasts K9 Training, San Diego County’s specialist for reactive, aggressive, and out-of-control dogs.
My competitive background spans Schutzhund, agility, protection, dock diving, obedience, barn hunt, and more — and my team has placed, titled, or earned ribbons in every sport we’ve entered.
My team holds the prestigious IPO BH-VT obedience title through the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, recognized internationally, and I’m a Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals.
I don’t just love dogs — I’ve dedicated my life to understanding them at the highest level.
My approach is relationship-based. I don’t just fix your dog and hand them back — I teach YOU how to communicate, lead, and maintain the results long after our sessions end.
Every program is built around your dog’s individual psychology, triggers, and your family’s real life. Whether your dog is lunging, reactive, fearful, or you have a brand new puppy and want to get it right from day one — I have a proven program for you.
