“The best thing about working with Maida is her compassion for dogs and owners. She’s very patient, willing to try different techniques and adapt to unique situations.” –George and Donna Ferrie & Joplin

 “My dog walks well on the leash, listens better and is overall happier and calmer and barks less at the fence. [We found] ways to communicate well with my dog while maintaining a loving healthy bond.” –Kristy Marsillo & Guinness

 “Uli has really become a nice, mellow puppy. It was noticed after the first class. Very happy/thankful.” –Aaron Grabein & Ulysses

 “Maida listens! She listens to you and she listens to the dogs. Maida spends time talking to you. She listens to your concerns, asks questions, and provides you with information drawn from a wide breadth of knowledge and experience. But not only does she address the human, she is constantly aware of the dog and what she/he is saying, interpreting the canine communication to the human! I also enjoyed her calm, relaxed, yet authoritative presence. Just a pleasure!!” –Janet Fowler & Ranger and Vivee

 “Maida has excellent insight to dog behavior and demonstrated compassion to my problem with my dog’s behavior toward my cats. She helped ease my anxieties as we worked on the steps toward improving the situation between my pets.” –Paula Gordon & Duke

 Maida really knows how dogs respond and learn, and she is patient with them (and with the owner) in training. I liked that she would tell you why certain things work better than others. And when you are getting training in your home, she can look around and help with the problems you may have, such as when the dogs go crazy when they hear someone at the front door.”   –Lucy W. & Chocco and Petunia

 “Very informative and friendly. The pace of the class was perfect. It allowed for everyone to achieve their goals. Everything was awesome.” –Ramon and Maria Arizpe & Pumkin

 “Maida was very patient, provided corrections to dogs (and trainers!) calmly with detail.” –Chip Senkbeil & Pepper

 “The tools Maida gave us to work with Willa ended up being just as valuable as the training itself. Maida is funny, focused, and interested in a good outcome for both the dog and the owners.” –Joolie Bracken & Willa

 “We can never thank you enough for your extraordinary care and concern for our baby, Tank. Your knowledge and skills with dogs is a special gift.” –Michaela Burgman & Tank
