I use natural and gentle techniques based on you dogs own psychology.

Calm your dog in seconds!
I can help your dog relax instantly so they will listen to and obey your commands even in busy, noisy environments.

Enjoy dog ownership again!
Leave stressful situations and anxiety behind. I can help you fall in love with your dog again and help crate good habits that will last a lifetime!

 

Results in minutes, not weeks!
I use techniques that you can use right NOW. We can stimulate changes in your dog's behavior without weeks of intensive training. 

Understand Your Pup!
I teach you why they act out and the surprising ways you may be enabling or even causing the bad behaviors with your own actions.

Stop Aggression!
I use effective strategies that stop disruptive behaviors like pulling in the leash and scary situations like dog-on-.dog aggression 

Training That Lasts a Lifetime!
I help your dog establish good behaviors and habits even at an early age to prevent negative experiences before they occur.

Dog Training That Solves The Root Of The Problem,
Not Just The Symptoms! 

 

Does your dog ever...

  • Not listen to you when you call?

  • Do you wish they would come when you call their name?

  • Bark and act aggressively around other dogs?

  • Do you wish your dog would stay calm around other dogs?

  • Pull on the leash during walks?

  • Do you want to feel like the leader instead of being dragged around?

  • Does your dog jump on other people and frighten them?

  • Would you love your dog the greet others politely with all four feet on the ground?

Who am I? 

Hi, I'm Mary Oliver,

I'm a Certified Dog Trainer/Behavior Specialist.

I have lived with and trained dogs for over 50 years.

​​

A few years ago, I bit off more than I could chew! 

I got 2 pups who were 3 weeks apart in age.

 

Kiowa, a Wolfdog rescue, and

Seirra, a German Shepherd Dog. 

At 6 months old they already outweighed me and could take ME anywhere THEY wanted to go!

​

So, I started looking at different training methods, everything from adverse training to prong collars

and even Ecollars! 

(They worked, but I'm not sure who liked them less,

me or the pups.)

Nothing was working!

That's when I found this amazing method!

It's so simple; win the dogs mind and respect and the

training is easy!

​

Now my dogs look to ME for direction and guidance!

Now they follow ME anywhere I want to go!

​

Since then, I've had the privilege of showing many others how to have a calm, well behaved dog who looks to them for guidance.

​​

I love it when my clients tell me how much I have changed their lives and their dogs lives for the better!

​​

I just can't wait to help more!

"Our dogs are doing well after Mary's visit. They are no longer fighting, just playing now. They are responding quite well to the commands and the barking has decreased. They are actually waiting for permission to cross the street on walks!
Thanks, Mary!"
