More than just obedience training…

1 on 1 Training

with Marcia

I believe in the power of in-home, private training to help you and your dog build a lifelong bond. Together, we’ll create lasting harmony through leadership, trust, and a deep understanding of your dog’s true needs.

It’s not just about words—it’s about communicating in a language rooted in nature.

Let me show you how!

I provide expert training for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—addressing a variety of behavioral challenges, including:

  • Housebreaking & crate training
  • Play-biting & jumping on people/furniture
  • Counter surfing & excessive barking
  • Chewing & aggression issues
  • Rushing to the door when guests arrive

Beyond correcting unwanted behaviors, I emphasize proper socialization, teaching dogs to be gentle with children, and fostering mutual respect between dogs and their owners. I also educate owners on understanding canine body language and communicating effectively for a peaceful, well-balanced relationship.

 

With 30 years of experience, my approach is tailored to the individual needs of each dog and owner. Good manners and respect stem from structure, consistency, and clear expectations. I help owners appreciate their dog’s breed-specific traits while establishing a positive and cooperative dynamic.

For rescue dogs, I believe in guidance rather than pity. A rescued dog is safe now, and the greatest gift you can offer is stability, confidence, and the opportunity to thrive in their new home.

I offer in-home training sessions (2-3 hours) throughout the Triangle and Triad areas, as well as nationwide virtual consultations. Let’s work together to create a home filled with harmony, understanding, and lifelong companionship.

What They’re Saying

Client Testimonials

Just had an amazing session with Marcia (aka the dog whisperer!) with Marcia’s Best Dogs. I feel like I have a new dog. She completely trained my dog and broke him of his bad habits in 2 hours. I can’t recommend her enough.

Betsy Conway

In less than 10 minutes, Marcia diagnosed the inconsistency in our [dog] pack structure (including humans) which was causing stress and confusion and less than ideal behavior. She quickly put in place a plan for correction resulting in pure harmony! She is very knowledgeable in canine behavior and teaching humans how to understand their behavior and foster a peaceful environment. I highly recommend her services.

Patricia Gundersen Sena

Three days ago Marcia came to our house and in 2 hours taught our 2 dogs how to better behave. I didn’t think it was possible, but she really delivered. She also taught me and my husband how to be better and more consistent dog owners. I’ve waited 3 days to post this because I wanted to see that the training had really been effective. It has! Thank you Marcia!
