We did 4 training sessions with Marilyn and they have been super helpful. As a new dog owner, she taught me many things I just did not know (e.g., petting a scared dog reinforces their fear) and gave us some specific techniques that have helped our fearful dog to relax. Sunny wrote below to beware of the submission technique but this has been a huge help to our dog - though our dog is scared, not aggressive. Marilyn is loving and kind and a pleasure to work with. She gives so much of her time and experience, and makes herself available outside of training sessions. She's a great resource for all things dog - I am very grateful to know her and have her work with our dog! Thank you, Marilyn!
Pros: smart, kind, experienced, easy to work with
