The Family Dog online training resources have been great! If I’m honest, I really wasn’t sure how effective it would be to follow online information, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. We’ve been given great advice and tools and have noticed big changes in our rescue dog’s behavior in the short time we’ve been watching the videos and doing the worksheets. Marisha is also so helpful and full of great tips! Thanks for helping us! More...

We love Marisha! If I could give her more stars, I would. She's the best trainer you can find in our area. She uses positive reinforcement training, which we love! She has helped so much with our reactive German Shepherd, Atlas(all with positive reinforcement). We used to not be able to take him for walks or, really anywhere, without him reacting to other dogs. We can now confidently take him for walks and even into dog friendly businesses around our area. We'll never be able to express how grateful we are. She is now helping with our nervous golden retriever, Luna. She offers puppy classes, group classes, private classes, and more recently classes that take you into local businesses with your dog. Her group classes range from basic obedience, CGC, trick classes, pedestal classes, walking classes and more. If you have a reactive dog, she also has private behavioral modification classes. We've taken more classes than I can count with her, and have no plans of stopping any time soon! We've even taken some of her classes multiple times. Marisha is always available to answer any and all questions and is an overall wonderful person. We send everyone we meet her way when it comes to training. More...

When I first came to Discover Pet Training with Marisha, I had a nervous and shy Border Collie mix. She was 2 years old and had only been with us for a couple of months. Marisha showed great patience with my nervous girl, and has earned both her trust and love. Since then (almost two years ago now) we've done ALL kinds of classes with Discover Pet Training- beginner and advanced obedience, agility, loose leach walking, stretching, and she even holds a trick title! My shy little dog was lacking some SERIOUS confidence (which I admit sounded crazy to me when Marisha said it out loud). My dog is a completely different dog today. While she can still be nervous with new some new people, she trusts me enough to know she's safe, and Marisha has taught me how to read her body language and remove her from situations if needed. My dog has very strong sit, stay, leave it, and recall commands. People love that she can wave goodbye to them, or jump through a hula hoop with just a one word command. Kids like that they can give her a hand signal to sit, she's learned to present her side to people when I tell her to "say hi", she knows that "focus" means to make eye contact with me, and not break it. She can "check in" on a walk, she sits to cross a street, and I'm not joking when I say that she will turn left or right on command. Marisha has totally changed the balance of our household with her training! I am forever grateful to her in teaching both my dog and I how to have a good relationship and build on basic skills. We love that she offers not just basic obedience classes, but fun and unique ones too that gave a smart dog the chance to build her confidence and both of us the opportunity to bond through training while she was adjusting to a new home. I know this is a long post, but I have so much positive things to say about Marisha and Discover Pet Training that I could go on forever! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs manners, confidence, or just got a new dog or puppy during the adjustment period. This is an actual photo of my very happy dog during an outdoor session of training class. More...

We've been with Marisha since Pierce was pup. She uses only positive reinforcement that results in rapid learning and has helped build trust and confidence in our canine family member. She helped me work extensively on safety with small children and the outcome was amazing. I've learned more things about dogs than I ever imagined. Marisha shows a great deal of love for her students and is very knowledgeable. Every dog deserves the best! More...

My girls (lab/golden doodle mixes) have gone to puppy socials and basic training. They are now SO comfortable around other dogs and we have the cues and knowledge that make them great dogs at home! Totally a worthwhile investment! Thanks Marisha! More...

We heard about Marisha from Progress Park Vet Clinic in Peru. We've been with her since Ava was 3 months old. We can't imagine life without her. She has so much patience with every dog. Lots of knowledge and encouraging words. She's traing us as well, honestly. We recommend her to everyone looking for a trainer. She offers a variety of classes for dogs of all ages. A tired dog is a good dog! Our favorite class is the agility class!! More...

I have seen such an improvement in my nearly three year old Border Collie mix. We adopted Lady last summer when she was about 2. Lady was nervous in new situations and struggles with confidence issues. Marisha has helped in so many ways! Lady and I have so much fun in training classes, and Lady is so much more relaxed and happy now since we've been in training. We just enrolled in our fourth training class and can't wait to start learning agility. Lady's now good on her leash, and listens well. Definitely well worth the investment in training. More...

Marisha is not your average "dog trainer" she is more. Education...experience with animals of all kinds. Her classes are great. Lots of great info about different treats and toys...tricks you may not have thought about. So glad we signed up... wish we would have sooner, but will definitely be taking more! More...

5 stars! Marisha is a great trainer. She has so much patience with our girl. Discover Pet training offers a bunch of different classes. You can also test for STAR puppy, different trick titles and CGC. She also does personal training and daycare training! Have a cat, pig, deaf dog or something else? She can train them too! You can't put a price on training! Every cent we have spent is well worth it! We want to set Ava as well as ourselves up for success. Check out Discover Pet Training on their website or on facebook!

Marisha is an excellent trainer who uses positive methods. She coached me through several trick dog titles on my dogs and helped us to develop strong bonds that are so important for a dog and her human.
