Mari Fetzer - The MARIDOG Method - Certified Dog Trainer - New York, NY

Verified Member since Jun 2023 Verified checkmark

With over a decade of experience in pet behavior modification, I am passionate about helping pet parents transform their canine companions. As a certified Family Dog Private Trainer, I utilize my extensive background in dog obedience training and pet behavior modification. My signature MARIDOG Method is a comprehensive approach that leverages the LEGS system—focusing on Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self—while also considering the HUMAN factor such as lifestyle, schedule, and experience. This holistic method ensures that both you and your dog find harmony and understanding, leading to a more balanced relationship.

I specialize in coaching owners to effectively change their dog's behavior, which often starts with understanding the "why" behind each action. My training emphasizes the development of essential traits such as Focus, Confidence, and Calmness, using tools like clickers, treats, and praise to reinforce positive behavior. Whether you're dealing with a playful puppy or a more challenging set of behaviors, my flexible approach is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine, ensuring that all lessons are not only effective but also enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.

I am dedicated to serving dogs and their owners with the utmost care and expertise. My services extend online, making it convenient for you to access personalized sessions from the comfort of your home. With a flexible cancellation policy, you can trust that my priority is your satisfaction and your pet's well-being. Ready to embark on this transformative journey with your dog?
