Our Story
Welcome to Discover Pet Training. We specialize in puppies and preventative training. After all if you teach your dog what you want, you don’t have to worry about fixing unwanted behaviors later. Don’t worry though, we also do behavior modification for dogs that have developed those unwanted behaviors. We offer group classes, private training programs, and an online obedience class to help you discover the best dog your dog can be. Our group classes cover a wide range from obedience to agility to jumping to just plain having fun.
Meet our trainer: Hello, my name is Marisha. I always knew I wanted to work with animals. So much so that I got a degree from the University of Stevens Point in Wildlife Education and captive wildlife management. In other words my college career prepared me to work with zoos with wild. This background has helped in more ways than I can count when it comes to dog training. In addition to my college degree I have my ABCDT dog training certification. Although not required in the dog training industry, certification is a way to communicate to our clients our dedication to them and their pets. Certification shows a trainer put in a lot of time and has been tested on their knowledge. I also have continued my education and I am a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI), Certified Canine Conditioning Coach, AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator and instructor, and a Certified Pedestal Training instructor. In my training I use positive methods based on science to help you discover the best pet your pet can be! We choose to follow the Association of Professional Dog Trainers' (APDT) LIMA protocol. LIMA stands for Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. To learn more about the LIMA protocol click here: https://apdt.com/about/position-statements/docs/position-statement-lima.pdf.
We also offer free help to any shelter to help set up a kennel enrichment program. Animal shelters and rescues should contact us directly for more information. If you have any questions for me please feel free to send us a message!
