Mari Fetzer : Regulation-First, Certified Dog Trainer - New York, NY by Mari Fetzer
Transform your dog’s behavior by addressing what most training overlooks: regulation.
This 45-minute, in-person 1:1 session is built around my proprietary Regulation-First Method—a science-forward approach that fixes the sequence of training to unlock faster, more lasting results.
Most dogs aren’t disobedient—they’re dysregulated. When a dog is outside their Functional Zone, their brain can’t process or retain training. That’s when behaviors like reactivity, pulling, or “not listening” show up.
In this session, we correct that at the source.
Working in real NYC environments, we’ll identify your dog’s unique Regulation Type (R-Type) and systematically shift them into a state where learning becomes possible. From there, training becomes clearer, more efficient, and far more effective.
This is not generic obedience work—it’s targeted behavioral recalibration for dogs living in high-stimulation environments.
Ideal for:
• Reactivity to dogs, people, or city stimuli
• High-arousal, anxious, or unpredictable behavior
• Dogs who “know commands” but don’t follow through
• Owners ready for a more strategic, science-based approach
What you gain:
• A precise read on your dog’s behavioral patterns
• Immediate shifts in focus, responsiveness, and control
• Clear, repeatable strategies tailored to your dog and environment
• A more effective role in shaping your dog’s behavior
