Testimonials
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and investment with Marty at Woodside K9. Our 1.5 year old bernedoodle, Winston just finished the two-week board and train program, and the difference is amazing. Marty was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional throughout the entire process. He kept us updated with photos and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way.
Winston came home with better house manners and is noticeably calmer on walks, which has made such a difference in our day-to-day life. Marty also took the time to help us learn how to reinforce Winston’s training at home, which we really appreciated.
We’re so glad we chose Woodside K9 and would highly recommend Marty to anyone looking for effective training who truly cares about dogs and their families!

Marty is outstanding! He was worth every penny for the two week board in training. Our Golden was out of control trying to give him a walk. Now he walks off leash whenever we go on walks. It’s been three years and we still get compliments on how well trained our dog is. Marty is excellent with communication. I was having trouble with the e-collar recently and he helped me figure out what was wrong with it. I was about ready to buy a brand new one and he took time out of his busy schedule to help us. If you’re looking for a trainer, this is the one for you! In today’s world people just barely do their job and bring home a paycheck. Marty is 110% committed to the well-being of your dog. I can not thank him enough!

Marty at Woodside K9 is nothing short of a miracle worker! We have trusted him to train both of our dogs, with truly amazing results. We first worked with him for our pittie, who has since passed, and more recently for our very anxious rescue super mutt, Ember.
Ember’s transformation has been AMAZING. She went from being afraid to walk, scared of new people, dogs, and noises, to being calm, unbothered, and walking confidently like a champ! She’s now playful with other dogs, polite around everyone, and listens well.
Ember has blossomed into the thriving, confident, gentle soul she truly is.
From basic obedience and manners to tackling significant issues like reactivity and anxiety, we cannot recommend Marty highly enough. His methods are effective, gentle, and grounded in a deep understanding of dog psychology. Marty truly cares, takes the time to understand each dog and your family, and ensures you know how to maintain and build on the training. Our dogs have loved him!
You can end your search here–if you need a dog trainer, look no further than Marty at Woodside K9. He’s truly exceptional!
