Super Fine K9

In 2018, my husband and I added a new male mini dachshund puppy to our family.  We already had an 8 year old mini girl who is sweet and lovable. .but loud.  I reached out to Margaret to help us tame Willy down as he wasn't listening as he should.  Margaret listened to all my concerns, which even included our 8 year old girl.  Margaret showed us and educated us on so many things we didn't know about having two dogs.  She taught us about giving them individualized play time,  training them separately, and desensitizing.  Things we never did with our first dog.  Willy has improved but so have the two of us as their owners.  We continue to work with both of them as a "parents" job is never done.  I now feel I have the tools necessary to do the right things.  If you are in need of a dog trainer, who truly loves dogs, and cares about her clients...Super Fine K9 is for you.  Margaret is patient and understanding.  She knows people and she certainly knows dogs!  This was a great experience for me and my dachshunds.

There are not enough nice words to say about Margaret. My boyfriend and I rescued our poodle Harley from the meat market in South Korea, even though we got so lucky with his temperament, he didn't know any basic commands or even english! ! Margaret was so kind and patient but assertive. She helped train us and Harley in a way where we really understood. Even after the 1st session we saw a huge improvement, and after 6 I am so impressed with everything we know and now we have the exact tools for success. THANK YOU Margaret, we will forever be grateful for your expertise. More...

Margaret did an amazing job with our puppy. It's because of Margaret's style, and her tips and techniques, that we didn't lose our dog when she got free from her harness. We appreciate all of the help!

Margaret was easy to work with, friendly, and non judgemental. She took the time to get to know our dog, our concerns, and tailored a 6 course schedule to fit our needs. She brought us out into the community and trained our dog in a variety of settings; Loews, Horseshoe Lake, and our neighborhood and home. She is AMAZING!!! I feel so much more at ease when I walk our dog, plus she taught us so many great obedience tricks. We can never thank her enough!! More...

We brought Margaret in to correct some unwanted behaviors in our year old Shih-Tzu pup including puppy biting, getting off furniture, unwanted barking. Margaret really got to know us and Jax prior to even meeting us in person, via a telephone interview so she was able to hit the ground running upon her arrival in our home for training.  We purchased her 6 session package and feel that Margaret gave us the tools we need to raise a well mannered dog. Her positive training techniques allowed us to see the world from the dog's perspective, showing us how to motivate the dog to do the right thing in all situations. Margaret was very pleasant to work with, even when she told us that we were doing  the wrong things in our own training. Now it's up to us to consistently apply the concepts we learned. We would recommend Margaret to any family looking to train any dog. More...

We've been having Margaret train our GS puppy for the past few months now.  We are new pet owners so we were very picky as to who we wanted to have come and train our Sai.  We've seen an incredible difference in his confidence and skill.  She has also helped us see what we were doing wrong as well as all the subtle gestures that would confuse him.  Margaret is very patient.  She took the time to go over what we wanted and went over a game plan on how to achieve it.  Her methods work and we have enjoyed the training.  Sai has grown to be a blessing and is bringing much joy to this family.  We can't thank Margaret enough for her knowledge, expertise, and patience.  If you are looking to train your dog, look no further than Super Fine K9 and have Margaret show you how to properly train your fur friend.

We worked with Margaret for a few sessions with our 11 month old dog, Finn. He was having leash reactivity issues, making it quite difficult to take him on walks without him barking up a storm at people and other dogs. We thought we'd truly never be able to bring him around my moms dog, Savannah. Margaret worked with Finn to boost confidence, reward good behavior and allowed us to take videos to continue to work with him.She is a lovely person who truly has a passion for her work which is so beautiful to see these days!To make a long story short, through working with Margaret we were able to slowly take finn on more walks! And now him and his aunt Savannah are now best friends and love playing together! We can't recommend Margaret enough. More...

My dog is a rescue and he was terrified of the world and very reactive toward unfamiliar dogs. We did several training sessions with Margaret. She taught us confidence and trust building strategies, obedience training skills, and ways to make our dog feel more comfortable around other dogs. He's a completely different dog now! He's confident, happy, and so friendly with dogs. Highly recommend training with Margaret. More...

Highly recommend Margaret at Superfine K9! She was recommended to us by our vet's office when we needed help to acclimate our new rescue pup into our home with our six year old Shih Tzu, who is the Queen, and to address the new pup's behaviors, since he had already had a failed previous home placement. From the first visit she offered practical tips on managing the pup's behavior. There are four adults living in our house and she was keenly aware of how that might impact the consistency of what we did with our new puppy. Each week she would visit with us and made us feel more comfortable with what we were doing, and we could see the progress.  It was more like Margaret was at the house visiting and having a conversation, providing us excellent guidance and feedback while answering all our questions. It never felt like we were at a lesson. She has regular as well as four legged people skills! With Margaret's guidance, the dogs are now getting along and our rescue pup is on his way to becoming a gentleman. We would enthusiastically recommend her, and have already recommended her to friends who used her and had a positive experience as well! More...
