Testimonials
I am an experienced dog owner and I came to Mary Jo feeling defeated and inept with my new puppy. Mary Jo turned it all around for us and headed us in the right direction from the get go. I saw major improvements immediately and knew I was connected with the right trainer. Mary Jo is calm, friendly, professional and brilliant when it comes to dog obedience training. She listens to your concerns and always has a solution. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I’ve brought my new puppy Peachy to a couple of Mary Jo’s private lessons and let me tell you she is already a changed puppy! Mary Jo is so kind and patient and really customizes a game plan for you and your dog! She’s knowledgeable and will give you different options on how you would like to approach your training. So excited to see what the future holds for our Peachy girl at Rhy’s-N-Shine Canines!

My dog, Hawkeye, and I, have absolutely loved the lessons and classes we’ve taken so far at Rhy’s-N-Shine! We have taken both a beginner obedience class and private agility lessons with Mary Jo. Hawkeye is 130 lbs of pure chaos, but Mary Jo has always treated us with kindness, patience and understanding. She has worked with us through several challenges, always being respectful of our individual needs and goals. We have come so far in the couple months that we’ve been visiting Rhy’s-N-Shine and we always leave hopeful and excited for our next visit! I can’t say enough good things about our experience, but most importantly to me, are the tail wags I get to see when I tell Hawkeye we’re going to see his friend Mary Jo!
