Marilyn is an American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and is certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Her journey with dog training began at a young age with her own American Eskimo, sparking a lifelong passion for working with dogs. What started as a personal interest soon developed into a career dedicated to helping both pet owners and their canine companions. Before launching her own business, Marilyn spent years training under respected mentors, gaining experience in everything from basic pet obedience to behavioral rehabilitation and competitive dog sports. In addition to her training expertise, she worked as a certified explosives K9 handler in the private sector for three years, further expanding her knowledge and skills in specialized dog training.
Today, Marilyn's passion has become her profession, and she is committed to helping dog owners achieve their training goals for a more enjoyable and fulfilling life with their dogs. She is grateful for the opportunities that have shaped her career and looks forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of both dogs and their owners.
