The Dog Nanny's Canine Training Academy

The Dog Nanny: Marcia’s Philosophy “Causing pain is no way to train.” At The Dog Nanny, I do not approve the use of pinch collars or static shock collars. My training approach focuses on positive reinforcement and reward-based methods, combined with my extensive knowledge of canine behaviour, to find the best training solutions for both dog and owner. I have been training, competing, and breeding dogs since 1986 and have worked with a wide variety of breeds. Through my deep understanding of breed traits and canine behaviour, I am able to develop a training method—or a combination of methods—that works effectively for each individual dog and their owner. Always Learning: Training & Behaviour Over the past 20 years, there have been significant advances in our understanding of how dogs communicate and navigate their world. As a professional trainer, I stay current with the latest developments in canine behaviour and training, regularly attending and speaking at seminars and educational events. Above all, leadership is key — dogs are natural followers. My policy is to present owners with humane, effective options for training and behaviour modification, ensuring the best possible outcome for both dog and owner. The Dog Nanny has received a 4.9 out of 5 rating based on 88 customer reviews and has been listed in the top three dog training facilities consecutively since 2017.
