About us
Who We Are
Hi, I’m Mary Oliver — a professional dog trainer and Certified Canine Behavior Specialist. With years of experience working hands-on with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I’ve developed training methods that address the root cause of behavior issues, not just the symptoms.
I work closely with you and your dog to understand why certain behaviors happen and how you can become a calm, confident leader your dog respects. My approach is rooted in dog psychology and natural instincts — no harsh tools, no fear-based techniques, and no gimmicks.
Our Mission
Our mission at Mary O’s Good Dog Training is simple:
To help families and their dogs live happily together, free from stress and frustration. By teaching effective, science-based training techniques and focusing on owner education, we empower you to enjoy dog ownership again — and build habits that last a lifetime.
What Sets Us Apart
- Personalized training tailored to your dog’s unique needs
- In-home and online options for convenience and comfort
- Techniques that work now — not after weeks of classes
- No yelling, fear, or harmful collars
- Focus on building trust, respect, and leadership
- Ongoing support and access to an extensive video training library
Whether you’re working with a puppy learning manners or an adult dog struggling with aggression, recall, leash pulling, or other challenges, we’re here to help — with compassion, expertise, and results you’ll see quickly.
Why It Matters
Dogs don’t misbehave out of spite — they communicate based on instinct and experience. When you understand why your dog does what they do, training becomes clearer, faster, and more rewarding for both of you. Our goal is to help you:
- Enjoy stress-free walks and greetings
- Reduce anxiety and unwanted behaviors
- Deepen the bond you share
- Love being a dog owner again
Let’s Get Started
At Mary O’s Good Dog Training, it’s not about tricks — it’s about results that last. Our training helps you understand, communicate, and lead your dog with confidence and care.
Happy People — Happy Dogs.
That’s our promise.
