Testimonials

I’m so glad we found Keystone Dog Training. We adopted Weyland, a three year old pup, from a shelter last year and we signed up and did both the basic and intermediate training classes.

If you have ever debated taking your dog to classes– do it! Mary provided us with the foundation we needed to work with Weyland on his terms, while also teaching him confidence and boundaries.

Mary was generous with her time and personalized advice for our situation. She can give a bit of “tough love”, but you know it comes from genuine concern for each dog and their human.

Going through dog training taught my partner and I how to be better dog owners and I believe most every dog and dog owner could benefit from dog training classes, especially from an instructor like Mary at Keystone Dog Training.

Mary is excellent!!! Our 7 month old lab puppy, Moose, is very high energy and very social. After completing the basic obedience class, we have seen so much improvement with Moose, and if it is possible we love him even more than we did before!

Mary offers foundational obedience training for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, with a focus on personalized advice, confidence-building, and boundary-setting. She emphasizes teaching owners how to train their dogs effectively using methods that work on the dog’s terms, resulting in long-term behavioral improvements. Clients report dramatic transformations in dogs with issues like leash pulling, door jumping, and lack of recall, with many continuing to apply Mary’s techniques months after classes end. Mary is praised for her patience, genuine concern for both dogs and owners, and her ability to balance tough love with encouragement.

Her training approach helps owners become better dog guardians, and her classes are noted for being affordable and highly effective. While group classes are the primary offering, she also provides individual guidance during sessions, helping owners understand how to handle specific challenges like high energy, socialization, and reactivity.
