Mariah is the best! We were at our wits end with our dog, Lola, because nothing seemed to get her to behave. Mariah came over yesterday for a consultation and worked with Lola while talking with us and answering our questions. Not only did our pup really like Mariah, we have also seen improvement in her behavior already! We are so happy and excited about working with Mariah and know that we made the right choice in hiring her as our trainer.

I meet with Mariah today and decided after speaking with her that she would be a great fit to help me with my Charlie. She is an attentive listener, full of suggestions and genuinely cares about the quality of the training that she provides. She is developing a plan to meet my needs with Charlie and I am excited to get started with his training. I am confident that she will be great!!

Honestly it has been amazing. I told Mariah the problems I was having with my dog Grace. Not only did she set a clear path forward for what we needed to work on to correct it, but also identified things I needed but didn’t ask for. I’m a soon to be Veteran being medically retired and she’s helping me to train Grace to be my service dog. I had a lot of quotes from bigger trainers, but Mariah was the ONLY one that even addressed my dog by name and the issues I wrote about. So I guess I’ll say this, if you want someone knowledgeable, actually cares enough to read what you write and generally a pretty amazing person. You’ve come to the right place.

Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Puppy training • Board and train programs at a facility • The dog trainer travels to me

Mariah has been wonderful with my dog. She has been able to personalize his training experience to best meet his needs. Mariah has helped me understand how he learns so that I am better able to train him and bond with my puppy. I feel confident that Mariah will help my dog know basic obedience!

My K9 Behavior is certainly amazing. I spoke with Mariah directly on the phone and was able to set a consultation the same day. Mariah connected with Tyson immediately! We were able to sit down and go over everything that I wanted for Tyson as a first dog owner. She answered all questions with detail and explaintion. I look forward to the upcoming weeks and working with Mariah and her new company!
