I am a professional dog trainer who runs Perfect Pooch Performance. I am a boutique facility with giving individualized treatment for the dogs who stay with me. I only take 2 dogs at a time to make sure everyone gets plenty of excercise and attention. I have a 1800sq ft artificail turf training field on my 1/2 acrea. My husband is retired and helpful as well. . I am up at 6:30am to get the dogs out for a bit before I serve breakfast. Then the dog is given outside time to roam the yard and hang out. Nap time is given in the middle of the day and then after nap time we can play ball or go for an on leash walk in the neighborhood. If I feel I have dogs that are good playmates, I will them to hang out together and play. Dinner time is around 5:30pm and then around 7pm we are hanging in the living room and having family TV time. Bedtime is usually between 10pm-11pm.

Information Marie M. would like to know about your pet

I require a Meet and Greet so I get to know your dog and they know the property to make it less stressful the day of drop off. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or unusual behaviors I should know about. Dogs are never left unattened when loose on the property. When it is bed time, they must be able to sleep in a crate for their safety.

A typical day

I have some fun agility stuff in the play yard. I like to play ball with the dogs and can take them for on leash walks. Does your dog need some training? This is a good time to turn boarding into a Board and Train time (additional fee). I have a pool and can also have a few swimming lessons (additional fee).

Pet care experience

I have been dog training for the last 20 years and have competed at National level events with my dogs. I have turned to my love of dogs into a business. with boarding and private lessons. Love what you do for work is the best work to have. I have a totally fenced backyard and have another fenced area for dog play and dog training. I provide in home private lessons, board and train, small group day care and boarding. I have a pool for swim lessons too! Comfortable giving dogs medications. I believe in being fair to the dog with clear communication of the expectations for training. Pre visits are welcomed before boarding starts to make sure you are comfortable with where your dog will stay. You can see more about me you can look up my business Perfect Pooch Performance

Marie is amazing! She watched over our 3 month old puppy while we had a work trip to go on and everything went so smooth! Felt good knowing he was in good hands and only having to worry about if our puppy was being a good boy lol got lots of updates and photos! Highly recommend :)

Marie is wonderful! I always worry when I leave Riley with someone while we are gone. I have total confidence in Marie and knew that Riley would be happy and safe. I think he had a blast!

I was originally concerned about having to board my 4 month old pup. However, as soon as I met Marie at our Meet and Greet prior to his stay, I felt completely confident that this would be a good experience for him. Marie is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, and he stayed in her home, so I knew he was in good hands. She also has a 4 month old pup of her own that got along great with my boy. It was a perfect match.
