Hi! My Name is Mariah. I am 29 years old and I have been involved with dogs since I was 19 years old, and I love every moment of it. I am currently taking courses on canine behavior and psychology to fill in any knowledge I may have missed in my own experience, but am passionate and plan to continue pursuing knowledge to help dogs everywhere. I have two trained service dogs of my own, both of which I trained myself during a 4 year apprenticeship with a handler that has 20 years of experience and holds numerous competition titles. I recently moved from New Jersey to Missouri. When I was in New Jersey I was one of the top border/trainers in the area and known well for my ability to work with working line dogs and dogs with behavioral issues. I have a house in the city now and a section of my home dedicated to dogs! We have a very large yard with 6ft fences, an operational slat mill for exercise, and a large pool for dog use. Video walkthroughs are offered free of charge. If you are interested in training please review this next section. I offer the following services for training: -Board to train basic obedience (stay must be longer than a week) -Daycare to train basic obedience (typically m-f but can work with different days) -Basic obedience package (6 sessions completed in 3-6 weeks on your schedule) -Individual training session by session -ESA -Service training (not for any and every service, this is a case by case basis, some services I still don’t have enough experience with yet to offer e.g. seeing eye dogs) -Competition training -Protection training -Behavioral training -Walk/Obedience package The following list is examples of behavioral issues -General anxiety, separation anxiety -Crying, screeching, excessive barking -Marking, peeing when afraid/excited, pee pad trained, not potty trained fully -Fear/anxiety of other dogs, general reclusiveness around other dogs -Leash pulling, leash anxiety -Door crowders, house escape artists -Dogs who will eat other dogs food, food stealers, beggars, dogs who search everywhere for food, dogs that will rip open bags for food -Barking at windows and doors when people pass by -Crate anxiety, crate barkers/screechers, crate escape artists, crate destroyers, crate reactive -Leash reactive dogs -Dog reactive dogs -People reactive dogs -Cat reactive dogs -Dogs that have attacked other dogs -Dogs that have bitten or attacked a person -Dogs who have needed to be muzzled in the past. -Early intervention for reactive puppies (received before 8 weeks) This is my full time gig, all dogs, all the time :) If I have to leave at all for groceries or doctors appointments it's never longer than two hours. I have crates of every size, fences to divide a room if needed, muzzles in case of emergency (NEVER used without telling the owner first, this is just for unexpected behavioral problems if safety is in question) I also have various training equipment, different types of training collars, leashes, long lines.
