Client Testimonials

  • "Marcia is so great! She does such a fantastic job with my dog Cindy who was having some behavioral issues. I took her to Marcia and within a few sessions cindy was back to her normal self. I will always use marcia for boarding as well! She does an incredible job and has been doing this for years!"

    – Kayla G.

  • "Marcia was a fantastic trainer for my senior dog with attachment issues, leash pulling and stubbornness. In just a few sessions she was able to modify walking on leash and teach her correction behaviors. In addition, Marcia has boarded my dog numerous times and I’ve always felt very comfortable because she provided proactive updates ensuring her safety in Marcia’s home. Highly recommend for boarding and training!"

    – Shannon G.

  • "Marcia was such a great trainer to work with. She helped build such a great foundation for my puppy during the board and train and continues to be a great resource. Will definitely continue training with her through all the stages."

    –Kimberly G.

  • "Our experience with Marcia was fantastic. We left our 5-month old lab with her for two weeks and he came back a new dog! She is extremely professional and passionate about her job. Have already recommended her to friends and family."

    – Tyler B.

  • "Marcia was amazing with our puppy. Marcia tailors her training to your puppy's current level of capabilities and then successfully builds on those skills in a manner that allows your puppy to retain the skills. Marcia is very knowledgeable about natural puppy behaviors and the various growth and development periods, and uses this knowledge to teach the owners how to communicate effectively with their puppy and build on the training sessions after hours. Marcia provided us with the education and training "tools" needed to modify behaviors and build a healthy relationship with our puppy. We plan to hire Marcia again in the future!"

    – Vanessa P.

  • "Marcia is professional, passionate and great at what she does. My 7 month old puppy made great strides in his leash training during his two week board with her, and she set me up for continued training on my own. Would recommend for anyone looking to kick start their dog training journey!"

    – Mary S.

  • "So happy we found Marcia from DMV Dog Training. She is super responsive and accessible and makes the lessons very easy to understand. She really helped us with our rescue dog, Juno. I highly recommend DMV Dog training and will definitely use Marcia again!"

    – Chris J.

  • "Very practical and helpful training tips. So glad we decided to set up training for our puppy!"

    – Lia P.

  • "Marcia helped me work with my dog Lulu on lash walking manners, and she's made a huge difference in just 5 sessions!"

    – Jen F.

  • "Thank you to Marcia!! She took our anxious, shaking-at-the-sight-of-his-harness, velcro’d-to-me dog and returned him with new confidence and comfort with the outside world. He’s sniffing outside for the first time and we’re even getting little tail wags every so often. He’s sleeping in his own bed and chooses to come by us or not, instead of being attached and totally reliant on us. Now we have to work on our separation anxiety from him!"

    – Dannika

  • "After reading reviews and doing some research we decided to engage DMV Dog Training and Boarding. We scheduled one hour sessions with Marcia on a weekly basis to complete the training. The results of professional training we received are positive, noticeable, and will definitely form the basis of any future dog training we may envision. DMV provided great tools and techniques for us to get the training results we desired for our puppy and for we recommend DMV without hesitation."

    – Rowland T.

  • "We loved the board and train program for our puppy with Marcia. She gave him an excellent foundation, taught him so much, and taught me as well which is critical in me continuing his puppy education :) we love the positive reinforcement and the care he got while we are away. Thanks, Marcia!"

    – Erin M.

    – Mary S.

  • "We hired Marcia for a Boarding and training program and I am so impressed with the amount of time, effort and knowledge. Marcia is an expert in her craft, and she is worth it. Our two puppies were trained beyond my expectations!"

    – Gary B.

  • "Marcia is a wonder. She took my totally untrained, 3 year old chocolate labs, and turned them into good citizens. Equally important, she trained ME out of bad habits and taught me how to be a good companion to my dogs. She is patient and kind, and my lady dogs loved her. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

    – Jenny Z.

  • "Our dog trainer Marcia was fantastic! She understands how a canine's mind works as well as how to train it's owner. She is very personable and made the experience really fun as well as educational and productive."

    – Julie B.

  • "Marcia is an amazing dog trainer who not only helped us with our newly adopted 11-year-old German Shepherd, but also trained my partner and me as first-time dog owners. Her approach of alternating one week of training with a week of practicing on our own was incredibly effective. It gave us time to integrate the lessons into our daily routine and truly make them stick."
