Mailey is absolutely awesome. She is on top of her game, and we needed her to be, because our very large Labradoodle ran the house before we met her. Loki is extremely smart, goofy, and a gentle giant. He was difficult to control, jumped all over guests, and thought the pool cover was a trampoline. Then we called the Pooch Professor for some schooling and we met Mailey, who is knowledgeable, patient, smart, serious and funny. There is a reason and logic behind everything she teaches, when she teaches it, and the methods and tools she employs to make our lives better. Loki got training, sure, but we all learned the proper way to raise a dog and make sure they can walk on leash, go to restaurant patios, not jump on everyone, and not tear up the house. The Pooch Professor gets an "A" from our family!

We discovered Mailey in 2006 after thoroughly researching dog trainers when, as first time dog owners, we realized we wanted the best possible education on dog rearing. After allowing our five pound puppy to run our home for a over a month (despite how cute he was), we scheduled an appointment with Mailey where she taught us practical techniques that both addressed our immediate needs and provided a foundation of skills that we could build upon as the relationship with our dog grew.  After consistent use of the tools we learned, our dog matured into an incredible companion and furbaby who put smiles on the faces of all who knew him. This year we brought a new puppy into our lives, consulting with Mailey from day one on selecting a dog that matched our home and health needs, and also requesting a refresher on crate training and basic puppy obedience skills. Our new dog has a HUGE personality, and Mailey proved to be an invaluable resource for helping us teach her how to follow the rules of our household while still maintaining the spark in her personality.  Utilizing positivity and rewards, Mailey meets both dogs and their humans where they are, and ensures that the unique bond that is forged between dog and human is appropriate, rewarding, and enduring. Not only would we enthusiastically recommend Mailey to any dog owner of any experience level, but we know the magical and life long results that you can expect to get from her methods.
