*** NEW TESTIMONY ***

Bailey, Matt & Ranger!!!

"We had a phenomenal experience working with Maggie. When people ask us about working with Maggie, the first thing I typically say is "If I had known the end result was going to be this good, I would have paid triple the price". My wife and I have a super active bird dog and after a year into his life, it was clear we needed some help with training. His recall was inconsistent, he was really rambunctious around the house, and we just didn't trust him enough to take him out socially. That all changed since working with Maggie. She came to our house for a consultation that lasted two hours and it was clear she wanted to get to know the unique needs of our dog and immediately formed a connection with Ranger. From there, we crafted a plan and did 4-5 sessions together that each had detailed homework. The results have been incredible - we are now completely confident Ranger will do whatever we ask and we are fearless about bringing him into public. He is "place trained" in the house, he has mastered off leash heels, and he responds to "down" from distance in the woods. With this core training in place, we are no longer shy about having guests who are nervous around dogs and I can run or bike with Ranger off leash in the woods. We consistently have people stop us in public and tell us "That is the most well trained dog I have even seen". We couldn't recommend Maggie enough. It is well worth the investment. "

Feb 9th.

Mae Mae ❤️‍🩹 🕊️ when I brought her home September ‘21 I could have never imagined our time would be cut so short. It’s not fair and it has hurt my heart in a way I can’t describe. Mae was a brilliant, spicy, powerful and hard working lady who taught me more than I could’ve predicted. She brought me strength, resilience and laughter in a time when I needed it desperately. She will always be apart of my soul, she took a piece of my heart with her and I will be forever thankful that I got to be her mom.

I miss you, I love you and I hope you are at peace now my Mae ❤️

It is with great pleasure and thankfulness that I announce the official launch of my very own company - MM K9 LLC

I am soooo excited this day is here. When I made this decision I was both excited and terrified. I knew that I wanted to present the best possible company to my clients and really be able to tweak the things I never could before.

My goal with this company is to have the freedom to cultivate personal and trustworthy relationships with every family I encounter. To be able to give my absolute all to every client’s specific needs. To me, it’s not about the money, it’s not about the income. To me it’s about those moments when I’m sitting in your living room watching you cry tears of relief because your dog did something you thought would be impossible. It’s about the moments I get to be there when you’re frustrated and when you’re celebrating! The chaos in the beginning, the ups and downs in the middle and the success, that’s what I’m here for.

- Brigitte from the first day I met her has been one of my biggest supporters. Most of you have heard me talk about her and it is no exaggeration to say this wouldn’t be happening without her being such a rock in my life.

- when I first told my family about this project, I got a longggg text from my sister (terrifying) essentially laying out for me step by step what I needed to do in the next few months to become a business owner. She is quite literally the best.🫶🏼

Casey- best friend of 10 years, answered all of my frantic questions while going over the legal and contractual verbiage of multiple decisions. When reading through certain options for the business, my head would spin and casey helped me through it.

I built & designed this website from scratch, as someone who can barely work excel, I ✨really✨ hope you enjoy it! Link in Bio!

There were a few people trying to hold me back/intimidate me and their bullying did not win. This company is my heart and soul. I promise to never stop asking questions, never stop learning and striving to be the best trainer and advocate for dogs.

Now, let’s get to training!!!

Sincerely,

Maggie & Mae❤️

!Testimony!

Ariana, Erika & Luna

" Maggie is the best investment we have made in our dog and ourselves, hands down. She is the most knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and engaged trainer we have ever experienced. Maggie has shifted the way we understand our own lives with a dog in it, as well as what we can do and expect from ourselves as dog owners. Our Luna is very high energy and high drive, a ball of energy: we went into training with Maggie hoping to get Luna to stop pulling on her leash and “listen to us more” when around distractions like dogs and squirrels. Little did we know we would get that, and so much more in our time with Maggie.

When we met Maggie, we were at a dog-parenting low. Luna had just been removed from her pack hike group, and we were overwhelmed and confused why all the things we were trying didn’t seem to work. In comes Maggie, and in just a few lessons, we had a completely different dog, a completely different life, and a whole new understanding of dogs and their behaviors. Luna now has near-perfect recall off leash, walks in a perfect heel, can stop mid-play and lie down, interacts with dogs beautifully (and with permission), and will stay in place calmly instead of going bonkers around the house. We have structure that helps our dog understand her own boundaries and limits, as well as helps us as humans live our lives.

Luna also LOVES Maggie, probably more than she loves us! So we always trust her with boarding Luna. We know we never need to worry about her in Maggie’s hands, and we always get back a tired and very happy dog because she had all her needs met. Maggie has been such an incredibly important part of our lives: she has changed our expectations of a life we can live with a high-energy dog and continues to remind us of the importance of consistency and structure with our Luna. She helps us problem-solve and understand Luna as new things pop up or we make changes in our life (like moving!).

Whenever we feel stressed about Luna, we take comfort in knowing we have Maggie to help us understand her and provide some insight/peace of mind. She is always our first choice with boarding, and knows our Luna so well. Maggie is considered a part of our family now, and we are so eternally thankful for that. If you’re reading this wondering if Maggie is the right choice for you, look no further. If you are willing to put in the work and consistency to give your dog their best life, Maggie is the best step you can take on that journey. "

Testimony!!

Luiza & Koda

" I have so many great things to say about Maggie and MMK9. I started working with Maggie 2 years ago when my pup (Koda) was only 8 months old. He was a very rambunctious dog with lots of energy. After the first session with Maggie I noticed a huge difference in his behavior and after 4 sessions with Maggie my little trouble maker became a model citizen ;) . I started being able to take Koda everywhere with me, which was my main goal, and he became an amazing off leash dog who made hikes so much fun! I tell everyone about Maggie and I will continue to do so because she is that amazing! Maggie creates a safe environment where you and your dog get to learn so much while also creating a strong bond. If you’re looking for a trainer who will never judge, is knowledgeable -and continues to strive to become the best version of herself as a trainer- and will be there with you every step of the way, then you have found her! Koda and I will forever be grateful for Maggie and Mae! "
