Less stress for you.Better days with your pet.
Maybe you dread getting the lead out, or you apologise to guests before they're through the door. You're not doing it wrong, and you don't have to work it out alone. We start where you and your pet are today, find out what you'd love to change, and build a force-free plan that fits your household, your time and your budget.
"We now have fun on our walks."
"I just completed 12 weeks of small group training and my dog is now listening to me and I can control his reactivity on walks. My dog has learned to trust that I am in control through Marianne's positive reinforcement training techniques and we now have fun on our walks. She is an absolute master trainer with years of experience. I can't recommend her highly enough, do yourself and your dog a favour and book in with the Pet Professor."
