When Mia first came to our home Scar was very aggressive towards her and had to have his muzzle on. But just after a few lessons he began to trust her. He would allow her to walk him without his muzzle, and he would listen to her when he was given commands. Within just five lessons with Mia, Scar became a different dog. She taught us how to teach him boundaries, how to stay in his place when told, and walk on a leash without pulling. Since our in-home training and group classes, Scar has become a better dog. He has not once become aggressive towards us in the home since. The biggest issue we had was when we were in the kitchen cooking, he would get territorial, but now we knows to stay in his place whenever we are in the kitchen. I am glad I was introduced to Mia because she has truly turned Scar into a better and obedient dog, which includes that she is now able to pet him and he will roll over for more scratches (not many can do this with him). Working with aggressive dogs is never easy and it takes time with them. Mia took her time and saw his true potential. She did not give up on Scar even when he had some issues throughout training. In the end, I am grateful for the time I had with Mia and the positive changes she has made in my 6 year old dog, Scar.

We enrolled our dog, Rex, in the Homeschool program to help with his leash aggression in our apartment complex and when walking in busy places. Mara went above and beyond and not only corrected Rex’s behaviors, but she helped us to understand what to do as well. Rex is now walking like the god boy he is and is so well behaved. We would highly recommend her programs and Rex does too!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Mia. From the very first session, she’s brought so much heart, skill, and intentionality into training my dog, Ruthie, as a psychiatric service dog for my practice. This whole journey has been really meaningful for me, and having Mia alongside us has made all the difference. She shows up to every session with so much patience and professionalism, but also a genuine understanding of the bond between handler and dog. She’s helped me feel more confident as a handler and has supported Ruthie with such care—always meeting her where she’s at, while still gently encouraging her to grow.

Mara was fantastic to work with. Made the training process very straightforward and easy for us to adopt. Hunter went from being reactive and pulling on the leash to calm and walking at heel in just 3 weeks. Highly recommend!
