I GOT MY SERVICE DOG HERE AND HE SAVES MY LIFE. My boy, Damian, is a Tourette's and PTSD service dog. While Marj is strict, she cares for the dogs. A lot. Actually, I was hesitant to pursue Glad Wags but I did some research, talked to Marj and decided to continue. I say Marj cares about the dogs because she does. I wish people could go on the service dog field trips and see us as a group in action. My dog is an Aussie and he can kind of smile when he wags his little Aussie tail. He gets so excited to see everyone at Glad Wags. Positive: -MARJ TEACHES US HOW TO LITERALLY MASSAGE OUR DOGS! That's pretty cool. Damian gets a massage twice a day. I wish I were him, sometimes! -The field trips are fun and its nice to see everyone working with their service dogs -Marj will genuinely train your dog. -It was a great experience for Damian. She chose a perfect dog that a. Loves to help b. Can detect and react to psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, tic attacks, interrupt self harming behaviors, and get me out of dissociations and flashbacks c. I have a very loving and trusting companion for life. -I have severe PTSD and Tourette's. Marj knows that and like with all disabilties is incredibly concious of it and helped me tremendously Negative: -If you get a GW dog, people will bring up the past A LOT. Big changes have happened with Glad Wags -You will have to wait for a dog and then training and then train in person with the dog, which can take months. That is NOTHING compared to the YEARS and wait lists everyone else had Overall, Marj changed my life. She is very, very good at working with disabilities. I can speak for no one else's experiences. Opinions are valid but my facts are that Marj trained a very happy dog and that single dog has stopped me from suicide attempts, seizures, panic attacks, self harm, and flashbacks all by himself thanks to Marj's training. read more

Marj the Dog Trainer - Service dog in San Diego - Pet Training Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Trained my dog when he was a puppy in 2013. My dog came home and has never been the same. Always afraid to get in a car when he lived to ride before. He is constantly in fear. In classes she sprayed listerine in dog's faces or at least that is what she said was in the bottle. Said it does not hurt them but it has alcohol in it and she sprayed them right in the face. As I said my experience was almost 12 years ago but I hear from other trainers she is still training and still not treating dogs right. For what all I paid and she took him for several weeks. He learned 1 command well. read more

Absolutely 100% Most of us are like a close knit family. She is available most of the time by phone. Yes I am also aware of the allegations and charges a few years back. She has been completely open and honest about it. I have had very in depth conversations with Marj and she has always been one of the biggest helps I could ever ask for. She has always given me and my dog great direction and has been helpful with life issues I have incurred with my job and obstacles she has helped me overcome. read more

Marj provides a variety of services. Your dog trainer must be someone you can work with as your dog grows and your bond gets stronger. I have appreciated her continuing support. I have continued working with her for almost 3 years. She uses a variety of approaches and tries to tailor suggestions to your situation. Each of my 5 dogs are unique and no one method works for all. Her approach is not a one and done. read more

I'm writing this review to inform people of general information you want to check before agreeing to any services. First be smart NEVER pay for a service before reading the contract. I want you to know that when you pay for a service you need to get an actual invoice not just a receipt that is sent to your phone. You need an invoice that states what the service is, how long it's going to take, how much you paid, and what company you paid it to. The reason I say this is because if you try to dispute this later, that is a requirement for this to go through. Second you need to actually have a date set when you're starting service, how many classes it will ensue, and what date it will end. The reason I say that is because again a verbal contract is open, which means the trainer can put all of their training in that last month of a year and claim that they offered you the correct service. Three you need to make sure that you check a company's viability, even if you have to look years back whether on google, yelp Do The Research. 4 not everyone needs a service dog if you are not on any medication's or have no mental disabilities. This is why there are so many animal attacks and why there are other options, such as an ESA. Lastly on top of all of this, you only have 100 days to dispute a service and that is for date of actual payment and NEVER Sign a contract that states you cannot be refunded from the very first training session, always read the FINE print. read more

Marj has worked diligently with both myself and my daughter to get our service dogs trained. We also use her as the trainer for Doberman Rescue. With over 50 years of experience, there has yet to be a behavior she can't help us figure out, or even a bad habit she hasn't been able to help us break in a positive way. I HIGHLY recommend Marj!! She is so great about getting the entire household on board with making sure you have the best and most obedient dog you could imagine. I'm grateful every day for the freedom we are gaining with our service dogs along with the training of our rescue dog which will help insure they will be the best pets! read more

Marj the Dog Trainer - My daughter working with the rescue dogs after being coached by Marj the Dog Trainer!!! - Pet Training Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Marj the Dog Trainer(Glad Wags Service Dogs) isn't a dog trainer! She claims to train all dogs. She picked out mine (several times) and never got it right. Once my dog was "ready" she only coached us (there were about 7 teams training) on sit, heel, down and come breifly. Below is an explaination of what accured or for the most part lack of. I do not by any means incourage anyone to go through her for anything. I attached a photo also of what I got. GLAD WAGS SERVICE DOGS I went to Glad Wags Service Dogs in Tulsa, OK in the fall of 2020 and agreed to have them train a service dog for me. Not right away though. I asked her (Marj-the dog trainer) all the right questions you ask any dog trainer. She knew all the answers. Plus, I really needed a service dog for all my medical issues, and had been looking for a couple of years for the right place to have it done. I have multiple medical issues Epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, and I have had to have multiple back surgeries. That is only a few of the issues I have going on. Marj Satterfield said she evaluated a dog she picked up running lose, said it passed the evaluation. Then a month or two later I get a call from her saying it bit her, and appeared to have gotten an aggressive streak (she was guessing from an old injury) but she did not want to rack up vet bills. So, she went dog searching. She found Cezanne at a shelter "trained her all the way through". That included a training session with me and Cezanne and about 5 or 6 other people, just going over the basic commands (sit, down, heel, come, and stay). That's not a service dog, that's a pet. When I got Cezanne home, she would only kind of heel, and come. It took me 2 months to get Cezanne to sit. I think she knew Marj would whack her one good with a horse whip, if she didn't. Which is what she told me to use and do. Marj, did encourage me not to do it in front of others because of what they would say. Once I got home with Cezanne, I trained just like Marj said minus the whacking with the horse whip. I continued to use the whip, but I took Marj's whacking down quite a bit. When we, (Cézanne and I) went into a store of any kind (especially a grocery store) she would let her nose get away from her sniffing everything and everyone. A true service dog is not trained to be a pet, but to be an invisible extension of the handler. My dog, Cezanne, was even taken back so Marj Satterfield could put "more training on her". I set a date to hand Cézanne over to Marj July 16th 2022. Well, Marj e-mailed me saying she couldn't. So, I rescheduled for August. Well, Marj gave another excuse when it came close to the hand off date. So, I rescheduled for September 3rd. She finally made it to our drop off location. So, I finally got Cézanne handed over. She was wowed, by how good I had taken care of her. Then down the road (late Oct/early Nov) Marj called me and told me they had to put Cézanne down, but not till the day after. So, she started looking for another dog for me. She ended up with a Sheepadoodle. Then called me Dec 2nd, saying she was gone for a month due to a niece's funeral. Then went on to say, when she went to pick up the dog from the breeder, because the breeder just housed and fed it while she was gone, it was no longer a good candidate for a service dog. She wanted my finale ok to go on to another dog. I told her I would have to sleep on it and call her back. Well, that is just what I did, I called her the next morning. I told her, "I could not in good conscious give her the ok to go on to a 4th dog". I came to the conclusion that she is NOT a dog trainer. I would highly encourage all those out there looking for a service dog NOT to go through Glad Wags. "Glad Wags Service Dogs" is all a joke. I was with them from the fall of 2020 to Dec 2022. The service dog they gave me, when I took it back for more training, they euthanized it. They didn't bother telling me till the following day. So, I am still without a dog. What I got was a badly trained pet ,yes, and a far cry from a service dog. Glad Wags Service Dog Info. gladwagsservicedogs.com 4950 South 79th East Ave, Tulsa, OK 74145 Phone-(918)504-1764 read more

Marj, trained our service dog (SD). Our service dog has continually amazed us and gets compliments everywhere we go. Marj has taught me so much, including that we as owners need to continue working with our dogs. If we, as owners, don't continue to work with our dogs the dogs, like children, will learn what they can get away with. read more

My father's dog Mojo had behavior issues. Marj has and continues to work wonders with our dog. With the techniques Marj taught us, Mojo no longer has aggression! We had tried several other trainers with no success. While we were on vacation, Mojo barked in the kennel during a thunderstorm resulting in the place calling my father demanding Mojo be picked up immediately. We called Marj, who had also worked previously with Mojo. Marj picked Mojo up and boarded him putting him through her behavior boot camp. Upon return, we noticed an extreme change in Mojo's overall demeanor. Marj also figured out several things going on with Mojo that we changed his diet, give him tinctures, and ways that will not harm him but still keep him under our control. read more

Marj has been wonderful to work with! We have hired her to work on an Alert Service Dog for my daughter's Epilepsy. She's graciously helped us with basic training for our family dog, too. Marj is firm with the dogs, but obviously shows them a lot of care and love. Having a dog alert for seizures is very important to our daughter and it's been good to know that not only is the dog cared for and loved, but that it will be trained well enough to help us keep our daughter safe. I'd recommend Marj to anyone looking for a service dog and to anyone who might need help in training the family dog good manners. read more
