I am blessed to have found K9 Paws Behavior Dog Training, I tried contacting another trainer who was very rude and unprofessional when requested to see her certifications. When I asked Marsha she was more than happy to show me all she has in her certifications, and insurance my family and I love working with her and randy and look forward to doing all the different classes they offer.
Over all this is a great trainer she worked with me to train a service dog the eventually washed out. Mentored under her guidance while training and she was great but when the dog washed out so did her mentorship. No worries though life goes on. I would recommend her to anyone looking for lure training.

After hearing so many horror stories from my friends and their experiences with dog trainers, I was very skeptical of them all. I was fortunate to be able to speak with a friend about my concerns and she highly recommended Marsha Tonkinson. Marsha was very easy for me to speak with and she listened to all of my concerns and answered all my questions. My Beagles and now a Poodle mix and I are all very happy with our dog training experiences. My Poodle mix, Pippi, has to be trained using different tools than the Beagles. I am so happy Marsha understands that what works for one dog is not going to work with all dogs. Marsha has made sure that I understand each tool, how they work, and how to use them safely. My pup and dogs enjoy their training sessions as I do too! It is very stress free and fun!
I'm very grateful for Marsha and Randy. They have helped me teach my new puppy so much and he is only 5 months old!

I'm very grateful for Marsha and Randy. They have helped me teach my new puppy so much and he is only 5 months old! I think it's very important to have great training at an early age to ensure my puppy grows up to be a well trained and likable dog. It also assures me that he will be cared for and loved should anything happen to me as my Rex was a gift from a friend because i had a heart attack. THANK YOU MARSHA AND RANDY!!
