About us
Who Am I ?
Hi my name is Mary Oliver,
i’m a dog trainer and canine behavior specialist certified in dog communication and owner education.
I live in Iowa with my Cowboy Corgie (Pixie) and my Belgian Malinois (Scout).
I train all over Iowa and I will come to you for personalized 1-on-1 in-home training.
I have also trained all over the country via Zoom calls.
As a dog trainer, I know how important it is to develop a strong bond of trust with your furry friend.
However, getting your pet to respect you and follow your lead can be a challenge.
Does your dog ever...
- Not listen to you when you call? Wish they would come right away when you called their name?
- Jump on other people and frighten them? Would you love it if they calmly greeted visitors on all fours instead?
- Bark at and act aggressively around other dogs? Wish your tail-wagger would go about their business in a calm manner around other pups?
- Pull on the leash while you go on walks? Want to feel like the leader instead of being dragged around?
I can help solve ALL of that and MORE!
Emergency Recall
Emergency Recall is a specialized dog training command designed for urgent situations, where your dog responds quickly and reliably. It involves unique cues, high-value rewards, and distraction-proof training to ensure safety especially in high-distraction environments. The training includes real-world practice, owner guidance, and builds reliability during outdoor activities. This command enhances your dog’s safety and helps prevent accidents during off-leash moments. It should only be used in emergencies to remain effective.
I use natural and gentle techniques based on your dog's own psychology.
Calm your dog in seconds
I help your dog relax instantly so they’ll listen to and obey your commands, even in busy, noisy environments.
Stop Aggression
I use effective strategies that stop disruptive behavior like pulling on the leash and scary situations like dog-on-dog aggression.
Understand Your Pup
I teach you why they act out and the surprising ways that you might be enabling or even causing bad behavior with your own actions.
Enjoy Dog Ownership Again
Leave stressful situations and anxiety behind. I help you fall in love with your dog all over again and create good habits that last a lifetime.
Results in Minutes Not Weeks
I use techniques you can use right NOW. You’ll see immediate changes in your dog’s behavior, without weeks of intensive training.
Training That Lasts A Lifetime
I help your dog establish good behavior and habits, even at an early age to prevent negative experiences before they occur.
