"Marion is an excellent trainer and has a great affinity with dogs. She has a kind and gentle approach to training both dog and owner. My young dog, Rufus, has several issues but he has now had two sessions with Marion which have concentrated on these and he is improving already. It will all take time but Marion has given me much encouragement and advice and also follows up training by sending clear and helpful notes. Highly recommended."

"There is no doubt that Marion is very committed to her vocation. Each animal (and owner) under her training is treated as an individual with specific needs. She thinks of dogs’ welfare and well being as well as the training. Following each training session, Marion will supply a set of Training Notes. These are not just a set of generic guidance but are tailored to the specific needs of the dog at that stage of training. These Training Notes are really thorough and easy to follow. During the training sessions, Marion is very supportive and understanding and works through problems with you, working hard to seek alternative methods if a specific method is not achieving the desired outcome. Marion has a gentle manner with an exceptional ability to bond with both humans and animals using a training method which is both supportive and encouraging. What I learned is that the training really pays off so it is important to stick with it even if you think it is not working. What happens is that suddenly things start to click into place and your puppy becomes better behaved and more responsive to your commands. You find that what seemed like an impossible task becomes achievable. This is worth a million dollars. Marion is a very special lady and we are so lucky to have found her. I have no hesitation in recommending Marion to anyone."

"After two great training sessions with Marion, our rescue dog Cooper is improving from week to week. He also enjoys the training, which helps him to gain in confidence. I would definitely recommend one to one training for any nervous or fearful dog. It makes a big difference."

"Marion was wonderful with our Goldendoodle. He recognised her van as she parked outside & would greet her with such excitement. (I don’t think it was ALL because of the fab treats…) We now have a new puppy and had no hesitation in going back to Marion for the training we need. Thanks Marion. You do a great job but also a lovely person who genuinely cares!"

"Marion was born to take up a role like this in life. She brings a level of care, diligence and capability to every element of her pet care practice. Be that, exercise, training or advice - she excels. Marion has been trusted with our dogs for over 6 years now and without question they are both better dogs for it. We honestly could not do without her."
