Marvin Pierce Dog Teacher LLC

I have been working with Marvin, Bianca, staff & volunteers for almost 2 yrs they are not only great trainers, they are great people! They are very kind to dogs and their owners. The teaching techniques that are used benefit both dog and handler. I have some physical disabilities and have learned many strategies to "modify" the training to meet my needs. I have found the training has helped me enjoy outings with my dog. I highly recommend Marvin Pierce Dog Teacher! Like Marvin says "A good dog makes a good dog",

Marvin Pierce has been an awesome resource for our family as we trained our ~1yr old German shorthaired pointer. This is our second GSP, but the first one we had tried to train with little kids at home, which gave us much less free time for our own training. We dropped our dog Ranger off for the hybrid program and we were so impressed with the results. While we had trained Ranger on some of the basics, he still had significant training issues: unreliable recall, he would pull badly while on the leash, we couldn’t keep him away from the dinner table at mealtime, and he would constantly steal things like socks and play keep away in the backyard where he was impossible to catch. After roughly a week and a half at the hybrid program, we had what felt like a very new and improved dog. Thanks to the expert training of the team and the introduction of the e-collar, I can now let him run off leash and know he will come when called. We can reliably keep him in his bed at family mealtime rather than surfing the table. We’ve broken him of the game of keep-away, and he walks very nicely on leash. Overall it just took our sweet but very pushy dog and made him SO much more manageable. To top it all off, they’ve been an amazing ongoing resource after the initial program and for occasional boarding.
