What do clients say about training with me?
Maya provided a calm and safe environment to help understand how to build a relationship with our dog. She helped me better understand our puppy’s needs and behaviours and gave tools in an easy to understand way. She provided different methods to meet a diversity of learning so that the information would really sink in. She really made every effort to provide clear information and would slow her pace if needed, there is no rushing. Maya helped me be accountable in a fun and non judgmental way! She is magic with dogs and is truly wonderful to be supported by. Maya’s passion, care and love of dogs is evident. I highly recommend Maya and look forward to more training with her as my puppy ages! ~Tasha E
I don’t walk out the door in fear anymore. I walk out the door with confidence and calm. Maya has taught me that training starts with me being calm and the dogs being in tune with me before we leave the house. I can walk my dogs in public and with other dogs, I pay attention to body language and redirect accordingly. I can not put into words how much Maya’s training has changed me as a person and as a dog owner.

Having owned many dogs in the past my impression of what it took to train a dog was not only wrong it was damaging for my fur family members. Maya has transformed the way we live with Otis, we don't just love our pup, we 'like' him a lot too! Without Maya training our family to welcome our pup properly, provide consistency, calm boundaries and ultimately clear communication we would not have been able to manage a dog. Shes truly a rockstar!

Maya is a miracle worker! Our wild beauty, Oni, was absolutely running the show when we called Maya. She immediately read the situation and coached us on how to take control and take the pressure off our pup to make sense of the chaos out there in the world. Now walking is a joy, there is little to no barking in the house anymore and the big anxieties that Oni had(like those terrifying garbage cans) are no longer a big deal! Maya is so kind, supportive and confident in her extensive knowledge. I cannot recommend her enough! ~Jeff L
Maya has been such a huge help for not only my dog's confidence but for mine as well. Holly makes such progress after our training sessions and I always leave feeling calmer and more in control. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for help with your dog! ~Keltie S
