Testimonials

Mary--just sent our announcement of Kensho and I passing the test to become a certified Pet Therapy Team. Just wanted to send you a quick note and THANK YOU for your help in training. Before your work with us we could have never have passed the test due to Kensho's issues with other dogs. Part of the test is an encounter with another neutral dog. We were scored individually and as a team on 21 different things. There was a "no pass" or a score of 1 or 2--2 being the best. We got all 2's except for a "one" on the "reaction to a neutral dog" and also the "leave it" where he was tempted with a ball---his favorite toy. He did soooooo well, Mary---you would have been proud. We've worked hard for this---thank you so much for your help!! We're so jazzed to get to work down here.

Blessings, Karen Everitt

and finally....

“I am really proud of my wife Mary. I think she is outstanding in the field of dog training.

As a matter of fact, that’s where she was when I took this picture -- "out standing" in a field "

Hi Mary!
I had to email you to tell you how wonderful Asia is to deal with now. I had carpet cleaners, a plumber w/his wife and child, and Direct TV man here today all at the same time. Asia was in the house around all of them and listened to every word I said!! It was so amazing to see the progress she has made. She is still difficult around other dogs but we are working on it still. I think it will take some time for her to suppress those "drive" instincts. Thank you , thank you, and thank you for your efforts and training. It made all the difference to us!

Just to let you know how pleased we are with the progress we and our 2-year old Betsy have made since starting recently with "Who's Walking Who(m)?".

Even our neighbors have commented on the transformation of Betsy's behavior. Whereas she would try to control every movement up and down the street with her constant barking, she is now calm. She is a different dog.

She will walk off leash and never stray.

At night she will stay in her "kennel" with the door wide open, and she will still be there when we get up in the morning. She used to make herself at home on our bed, and the only way to keep her inside her "kennel" was to lock it up.

It used to be the ritual for her to run to the door when the bell would ring, and she would be all over our guests. Now we "place" her and she will stay

We have to thank Mary for her sincere desire to help us in all aspects to become happy dog owners. Her training methods are exceptional, and we would recommend her to anyone.

When we starting 'Who's Walking Who' with Jade, our 4 year old boxer, we had
both high hopes and a fair amount of skepticism.  We began training Jade
when she was a puppy with several different trainers with only moderate
results.  We have been amazed at the transformation in Jade's behavior after
only a few classes with Mary.  Not only are we happier dog owners but Jade
seems happier too.  We have been very impressed with Mary and her sincere
desire to help us with any issue.  'Who's Walking Who' has far exceeded our
expectations and we would highly recommend it to all dog owners!

Hi Mary!

Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with Benny's progress. 
We have both been working real hard.  I can now take him in my car 
without anyone being with him in the back seat!!  I just have to 
remind him to sit a couple of times and he's great!  This let me get
 him to the groomer’s yesterday and he and now he has his new 
beautiful Springer hair do!  In all seriousness I can't believe he is the
same dog, and he has only had a few lessons.

Your method is wonderful.

Michael will be working with him at tonight's session as I have
 another commitment,  but just wanted to let you know that your 
method has allowed me to actually enjoy being with my Benny 
and watching his amazing progress!!

Dakota, and Harley

I just want to say before we started the remote collar training, my
dog, Harley, was out of control!  He would jump up on people, get out of
the yard (which would result in a 25 minute chase), and basically not
listen to a word my son or I would say to him.  It was getting so
frustrating for me and Dakota, because we wanted a dog for so long, but
we were to the point of maybe getting rid of him because he was so
defiant.  
After the demo, I could not wait to get started on the lessons because
Harley was already making progress. Today... Harley and Dakota are buddies!! 
 Harley comes when called,sits, doesn't jump up on people 
(especially the neighbor kids), laysdown, and goes on walks nicely!  
We are working on "placing" him so whenpeople come to the door 
he will sit on the stairs and not try to"escape."  

I am so proud of him and undoubtedly it has made us a happier family.  

Thanks a million Mary!!!!  
Debbie, Dakota, and Harley
