"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!"
