I hold three certifications and am well known and respected in my community as the go to trainer for the toughest cases.

More info about Maggie Marshall's dog training:

I offer in home, private training sessions, group classes indoors and outdoors for any obedience needs and behavior modification. I will handle anything from housetraining to serious bite histories.

Behavioral issue focus:

I love to work with puppies when all is new and the future is bright, but I also enjoy the complicated cases involving severe fears and dogs fighting within the home.

Dog training methods:

My training sessions are customized to suit the needs of each dog and owner. After the behavioral history is taken, I prioritize the owner's goals into a time efficient and results based training plan. Each session is booked and paid for individually to keep the power and flexibility in the client's control. I frequently use a marker and reward system to teach new behaviors and quickly transfer the behaviors to real-life scenarios, so the client can understand how to apply the new behaviors. I advise the client to make changes in their own behaviors to produce different results in the dog. I provide ebooks for the client with written instructions and provide a follow up email summary after each session.

Why I became a dog trainer:

My first dog had some challenging behaviors that I was able to overcome. The experience revealed to me that I had an affinity for dog training. Once I knew that, I researched the best routes to become a professional. I was excited to have found a career path that would allow me to feel fulfilled, to do good and to still be available for my family.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Changing behaviors that the client believes are unchangeable.

My #1 dog training tip:

Call a professional as soon as you bring your new dog home.
