What a difference in our dog Boomer. We have been working with Mary to help Boomer overcome his tendency to snap at other dogs who get too close to him. After a few weeks of class, Boomer is relaxed enough to sit quietly beside other dogs.
Mary showed me how to handle Boomer so he would respond to to her dogs in a friendly manner. She had lots of suggestions to help both of us be successful, as I was worried about Boomer meeting other dogs. Her calm demeanor was an asset when working with both of us. She helped build confidence in Boomer and me to ensure success.
I also brought our other dog, Rocky, to Mary's beginning obedience class to help build his confidence and sharpen his skills. He received plenty of individualized instruction based on his needs. Mary had varied the activities to keep the dogs interested and motivated.
Thanks Mary, for all you have done to help our dogs become happier and better trained pets. I highly recommend you to others who are looking to strengthen the bond they have with their dogs through positive training.

K-9 Perfection has done wonders for my dogs. Blossom and Roscoe both attended Mary's class, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that both of them learned many new things. Mary is very patient and her coaching techniques are easy to follow. I liked the fact that we were in a class environment, so the dogs got to socialize with others, but the classes were not too big. Mary was able to give individual attention to everyone in the group. I would definitely recommend her class to anyone who is considering getting classes for their dog or puppy.

We have had our puppies for six weeks now and the training with Mary is going very well! Siku and Nanuq have learned the basics and have graduated from Puppy Kindergarten. We all look forward to continuing their weekly training as there is no such thing as an over-trained dog. As a result of this training, we feel we are becoming better pet owners. You are a wonderful trainer! Thank you!

Thank you Mary! Finally we have more control over our dogs Maya and Missy. It feels good knowing that they won't endanger themselves and others. They seem much calmer and friendlier as well.

Mary is a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her as a competent dog trainer. Sarah is a very social and loving golden-doodle. She has been in training with Mary along with her sister Star. Mary has a very calm, gentle, yet firm demeanor which was good for Sarah and me. Sarah picked up the basic commands quickly and was eager to go to Mary's training facility when we got out of the car. Mary uses positive reinforcement and patiently works with each puppy until the command is understood, then mastered. Mary is very knowledgeable and organized. I appreciate her flexibility. I was not able to attend a class because I had a golden-doodle giving birth to a litter of puppies. She rescheduled at my convenience. The puppies are ready for adoption and I recommended Mary to all the puppies that are being adopted locally.

We will always be so very grateful to Mary for all she did with Chauncy to make him a happy dog once again. He was having behavior problems and even though I had taken him to beginner classes, he didn't get the one on one training and love Mary gave him. She also worked with us to show us what we were doing wrong and how to correct it. Chauncy loved her and looked forward to her visits - tail wagging. I would highly recommend (and have) to everyone, Mary and her loving methods of dog training.
Thanks again for all you help,

Mary Kalista-Jackson at K9 Perfection is the "perfect" trainer for any dog. Her enthusiasm, love, and compassion for dogs appears in everything she does. Mary trained our puppy for three months. People simply cannot believe what a well-behaved dog we have. Thanks to Mary, we can take our pet anywhere and know she will be welcomed and never a pest. Mary knows dogs; that is evident in her prepared instructions and everyday training methods.

I was very happy with K-9 Perfection Dog Training. Mary made us feel very welcome and she was very flexible with scheduling. Mary worked with my 12 year old son, Sam, to show him how to handle his new yellow lab pup, Rose. We started training classes when she was 10 weeks old and she was able to not only get the the special attention and training that a pup requires, but she was able to socialize with Mary's 3 dogs which was an extra treat for her. Rose has done well with her first class and we plan to continue a training plan. Mary has a great environment for training, professional yet relaxed and private.
I would recommend K-9 Perfection for anyone that is looking for a personalized dog training program.
