This was the fourth time we had Marie work with our dog and us. This time she helped us with a 7yr old GreatDane Lab mix rescued from the animal shelter. I am always amazed at how Marie has a bond with the dogs and how quickly she can get them to respond to her commands/actions. Marie will give you homework that you are to do with your dog to reinforce the commands you learned during your lesson. It's important to remember that you must do the homework and work with your dog. If you want an obedient dog, it will take work. What makes Marie stand out from others is how she trains you, the pet owner, to work with your dog in your home environment. Thank You again, Marie! We appreciate the talent and skills that you have taught Cooper and us!!
Marie is simply awesome. She has a remarkable ability to get the best out of animals. Admittedly, at first, I was quite curious if she could get my stubborn Rhodesian Ridgeback to obey commands. Within 10 minutes of our first lesson she had him on point and following her every word. Bennie took to her immediately. She exercised lots of patience and taught us as well how to be a better leader. She has a very simple but detailed process. You too will have to put in time and effort, but it was all worth it. Marie is definitely the one to call if you need help in training your dog. Highly recommended!
Let me first say that we LOVE Marie! Not gonna lie I was very intimidated initially. She's kind of like the Gordon Ramsay of dogs. She came in and pointed out everything I was doing wrong: EVERYTHING. I felt like a bad dog mom. BUT all my bad behavior had solutions she taught me very easily. Every time she trained with Tyson my jaw was on the ground. She's a miracle worker! Everything has improved. She taught me and Tyson how to always be safe and have control of a situation. His separation anxiety has subsided significantly. Don't expect her to teach them to play dead. She's going to teach you how to control your dog and the proper way communicate with them. Marie trains humans to train dogs :3
Yes!!! I am giving this great awesome lady a 5 Star+ review. Hubby found her at Yelp... so, thank you fellow yelpers for your good reviews. Marie is an awesome trainer... the first day Shiro met her, he listened and focused on her The DogMaster". Shiro is our 4th dog and adopted him from the pound. He's nine months and that's why we decided this time to have a trainer come to our home and give us a good training on how to work with a 9 month puppy that has more energy, and since he came from a shelter and lived there for more than 11 days not knowing the condition from where he really was when they found him on the streets of Los Angeles. On the first day of t with Marie, Shiro responded already knowing simple commands like sit and down. When he was in the pound, a volunteer trainer would work with some of the dogs in the pound and Shiro was one of them. Having Marie come for the 4 weeks of training to work with Shiro and us was the best decision we made. Not only Shiro getting trained but us as he's owner truly needing it even though we had dogs before... some new and fresh perspective that we had learned from Marie. So if you have a new family fur... definitely getting a trainer to come to you at your own home is the best because you are all in your own element... the family and it's surroundings! Thank you to Marie who taught Shiro... he's a dog to listen to the commands of his masters as he watches over the family to protect and love, and we ... as Shiro's owner to love and care for him because he is our family dog. Looking for a DogMaster trainer... call Marie!
The only thing I regret is not meeting Marie earlier. Thanks to Marie, it's never too late to teach an old dog (7 yrs) new tricks. Mimosa has transformed to a new dog. We're all surprised to see the improvement and progress of Mimosa made within only few weeks. I definitely recommend Marie The DogMaster for everyone. We miss Marie already.
Marie is very professional and her training is very straight forward so we can practice ourselves after the training. Me and Hajima ( my one year old puppy that I adopted 3 months ago) enjoy working with Marie during the training and he is really improved a lot on walking and no more leash pulling. The command that Marie taught me make Hajima knows I'm the leader and this lead him to be more attached to me in a respectful way. I highly recommend Marie if you want to find the right trainer.
Looking through websites and reviews of multiple trainers in the area, I was sold by Marie and her training techniques. Not only is she great with training techniques, but she has an educational background with training dogs. We recently adopted a one year old husky with limited training as he was chained in the backyard for most of his first year. Within four trainings, Marie went through all of the basic commands and more. She also showed us hand motions that correlate with the command. Our dog still retains (most) of the training and it's been very fun for us to see him grow and learn. She didn't only teach our dog, but trained us too! She's truly the dogmaster and i highly recommend her to be your first step to training your dog.
Marie was a great trainer for Peppa and did everything we asked for and more! This was our first dog and we were absolutely clueless. With her guidance, we were able to see changes almost right away. Obviously, you must work with your dog to perfect what she teaches but she's honestly a miracle worker. Peppa loved Marie very much and so did we! She is very accommodating and she is booked for a reason, so don't wait on it and contact her immediately! The whole experience was so easy and stress free for us and made a huge difference with Peppa's behavior. She even brought her a goodbye present!! Appreciate you very much Marie!
Let me tell you... we had a very pawsitive experience with Marie. She is very thorough in discussing your family and your dog's needs before starting to train the entire family (yes, the furry member too ). She is very knowledgeable (hence... DogMaster), loving, kind, and firm. She stresses the importance of having a mutual respect, love, and trust between you and your pet. Our puppy completed the "Puppy Basic Obedience Course", and I am proud to say that we all learned how to effectively communicate and understand. I am pleased to recommend, Marie Bymaster, The DogMaster to anyone who needs an excellent trainer.
Although it is a joyous time bringing home a new pup, reality quickly settles in that you have a little land shark and constant supervision. Our new pup was biting the kids every second and I couldn't imagine him settling down enough to chill while we were in the house. All that changes with Marie's training! Marie quickly empowered and built confidence in us to train our pup, including my kids ages 8 and 11. Her approach is firm yet kind. She is an expert and can deal with any situation. You really learn about the need for consistency. It was the best investment ever to have Marie join us during the first weeks of bringing pup home. I highly recommend. Worth every second!
Our little girl Loki was taken from her litter at 4 weeks old. She was a very scared, shy and nervous dog. My boyfriend and I wanted to find a trainer that would help Loki become a more confident and playful puppy! The first session, my boyfriend and I learned a lot. Marie told us that we had to switch everything we were already doing and do the correct way. She was training us and Loki at the same time! For example, we would always coddle Loki because we thought that would help her be calmer. When in fact we're just rewarding her scared behavior. Over the course of 4 weeks, we continuously trained Loki on her commands and we watched her grow and become more confident. The best thing to watch was Loki growing more attached and confident with Marie. She's so playful! Today was her graduation and Marie was so nice to print out a certificate for Loki as well as giving her a chew toy as a graduation present! Marie has surpassed our expectations and I can't thank her enough for her help! If you're looking for an experienced dog trainer who will teach you everything you and your puppy should know look no further! Marie is definitely the DogMaster.
Hire her! Our high energy Corgi puppy listened, responded, and respected Marie since the first meeting. She's friendly but very firm and Hercules immediately knew she was the pack leader (which I had to learn). After some research we decided to ask Marie for help due to her flexible schedule and high Yelp reviews. I've worked with our puppy everyday since he was 2 months old, and although he already knew most of the basic commands before meeting Marie, we still had trouble with some, and we didn't know the proper way to walk him. Marie made every trick seem so easy. Taught him new tricks and reinforced ones he knew. I guess it just comes natural to her. It's amazing to watch how she works with our puppy. Give her a call and you'll thank her for teaching you the proper relationship with your dog!
Marie was amazing! I was worried our Frenchie Quintus was too stubborn to learn. Marie gave us easy to carry out exercises, and in four short lessons, he learned so much. It is evident Marie loves what she does, and has a love for all beings canine. When Q graduated, she gave him a graduation gift, and his squirrel has become one of his favorite toys. I love that Marie comes to your home. This really set us up for success, as all of Q's lesson were in an environment he's comfortable in, and where he'll continue to learn. I cannot recommend Marie highly enough! If you're looking to train your dog, you cannot go wrong with Marie!!!

We just completed a 4 week training for our 1 year old Australian Cattle dog mix. Marie is an awesome, caring dog trainer. She provides you with the tools/ techniques to be successful. You definitely need to work with your dog each week between sessions to reinforce what was taught. Not only did our dog learn so much, we learned how to work with our dog. I would highly recommend Marie if you are looking for a knowledgeable trainer who truly care and wants you and your dog to succeed. read more
Marie is a wonderful trainer and person. Our family had the pleasure of meeting with Marie for 4 weekly training sessions and it was a great and productive experience. Her training methods work and are loving toward your pet. You'll build trust and respect between you and your pet. We took the techniques Marie gave us in our lessons and we did our work during the week to build upon those techniques. Our dog Maverick was always excited and eager to have Marie come and train with all of us too. I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone to help train your pet. read more

My 5 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, Lando, just graduated his puppy basics. As a first time dog mom, I felt instantly comfortable and empowered by Marie and her coaching. She was great with Lando throughout the process. Her coaching was easy to follow and Marie was also quick to answer any question and offer support as needed throughout the training sessions. Highly recommend :) read more

Well I don't even know where to start. Marie is the most sweetest, kindest, and patient person I've ever met. Not only does she teach your four legged child but she also teaches you the importance of proper training and how to build trust with your pet. I would have not been able to train Dexter without the help of Marie, I would recommend her to anyone who is having trouble training their dog or just don't know where start. She is wonderful and dexter is so good at following commands now! read more

Marie is just wonderful!!! My 2 Pomeranians and I just finished our final session (3 total) today, and guests in my house say the changes in my pups are apparent! I initially reached out to Marie because of her stellar Yelp reviews and very good pricing, and I wasn't let down! We went back to basics at the start--sit, come, down, stay, etc.--then moved on to new stuff that is just as useful--drop it, leave it, wait, etc.--and in the final session today we even learned roll over, shake and crawl!! Most importantly I learned to be the "pack master," so that my dogs finally understood that I am in charge. They no longer jump on the couch uninvited and are slowly learning to remain calm when guests come over because they only get attention when they have "all 4 (paws) on the floor." Marie is eternally patient with stubborn dogs, and she knows her stuff! I highly recommend her! P.S. Her final send off when the dogs "graduate" is very sweet!!! read more

I decided to contact Marie after reading all the 5-star reviews on Yelp and learning about her background on her website. Marie came to the house to train my 4-month old standard poodle, Skipper. We completed the Puppy Basic Obedience Course yesterday and I am very pleased with the result. In just 4 sessions, and homework with Skipper in between sessions, Skipper has learned to respond to both verbal and hand commands, such as: sit, down, stay and so much more. Marie was very professional and patient, and most importantly, her positive reinforcement training method really works! I will be turning to Marie again for Skipper's CGC training in the near future! Thank you, Marie! Highly recommended! read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers here on yelp? Marie is an excellent trainer! She helped us with our five month old Mini-Aussie Shepard puppy Logan. We did the basic obedience class. The results were amazing and I was so happy that Logan responded so well. Marie is very compassionate about training and love dogs. She is very good at instructing not only the dog but you as well. The price is very reasonable and I highly recommend her service. She was able to work around our schedule and that was also a big plus. Thank you Marie! read more

I found Marie, The Dogmaster on Yelp to seek help with our puppy Shamai, a 5 month old female Golden Lab/Retriever mix. Shamai still has a way to go but overall, what a difference Marie has made! Marie was so patient with us and Shamai! She's great at following up and ensuring that everyone is on board. Our puppy even received her diploma, which we have showing proudly! The Dogmaster was worth every penny! read more

I am so glad that I found Marie on Yelp. I was inspired by Marie's video on her website sharing how she became a trainer and also her passion with animals. My puppy recently graduated from the Puppy Basic Obedience Course. With Marie's guidance in each session along with her notes, I am able to train and continue to practice with my puppy to do all the commands. Marie is very patient, knowledgeable, a great listener and a great trainer. She is very experienced and just seems to have magic that my puppy is able to learn quickly and pick up new commands each time after a few trials. My puppy just loves to see her every time. :) Thank you Marie. I will continue to practice with Tin Tin and hope to see you soon. read more

Marie is a gem! She genuinely loves dogs and advocates for them by educating dog owners like myself about how dog's behavior is a reflection on how we handle them. She essentially teaches people how to communicate with dogs through gentle and simple techniques. My whole family joined us during the sessions and everyone pitched in. Value- Marie's prices are beyond reasonable, especially if you consider the time and headache she saves you by coming to your house. Puppies can be a handful in the car and quality trainers are not always local. Rather than spend a morning or afternoon hauling your puppy to a class, why not have a professional come to your house and educate your whole family? It really does take a village people! Get it done right the first time and call a pro. I'm sure glad I did! read more

Marie is absolutely amazing. She was able to get our 6 month old Lab with way too much energy to really come around. Our family couldn't thank you enough and this is only the beginning. If you are looking for a trainer that truly cares and knows what she is doing then the Dog Master is the way to go. Thank you so much Marie you're awesome!!!! read more

Marie is amazing! I'm so glad that we found her on yelp. Marie is an excellent dog trainer. Our 3 month old Australian labradoodle puppy Simba just graduated from his puppy training classes. Not only Simba, but his brother Java- our 2.5 years old pomapoo and us, all learnt a lot. We took Java to puppy classes and adult classes, but none of those could be compared to Marie's classes. Marie is patient and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Marie to anyone who needs a trainer. read more
