“After looking for a dog trainer for a couple months, we started working with Margaux and are so happy we found her. Our dog, a 3 year old rescue, suffers from significant separation anxiety and we’ve already noted improvements after meeting with Margaux and implementing her suggestions. Margaux is a complete professional and is responsive and supportive; she is incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciate that she always explains the science behind her suggestions. Margaux’s follow up emails are also extremely detailed and helpful in ensuring that we are making progress between each session. We’re excited to keep working with Margaux and see our dog gain more confidence and experience less separation anxiety.”

“I have been working with Margaux to help socialize my 4.5 year old pit mix. Margaux and Twix have been so so helpful, and I've seen Tres grow to the point where she is pretty comfy around Twix! She used to immediately become reactive whenever she came close to another dog, and now I can recall her and she will sniff within 6 ft or so of Twix. Margaux has been helpful in interpreting Tres's body language and giving me tips for helping Tres grow.”

“After three failed training attempts (board and train, group classes, and private training), I had very little hope with training Miles going forward. Margaux not only gave me the tools to properly handle Miles but she also gave me the confidence to lead our partnership. Instead of focusing on commands or obedience, we focused on building a better relationship as a human/dog pair. I’ve learned to read his body language, communicate with him effectively, and advocate for him in stressful situations. Margaux understands that training is not a one size fits all and is willing to figure out what the best next step is for you and your dog. I am so thankful for her help and support!! Cannot recommend her enough!”

“After a less than stellar meeting with another dog trainer, we were thrilled to connect with Margaux. When she first came to work with Bowie we could immediately tell that it would be the perfect fit. Margaux took the time to truly get to know our dog and understand our family; giving us tips and exercises that improved behavior nearly instantly and more long term solutions as well. Everything she does is so clearly well based in her deep knowledge of dogs and her own training and expertise shows in how she is able to interact with humans and animals alike. When I took Bowie for a walk the week after starting to work together, multiple other dog owners commented on how well behaved he was- which I credit completely to Margaux. If you're looking for someone to help with any challenging dog behavior, to set you on the path for success with your furry family member and to strengthen your bond with your dog, Margaux is your best bet. I can't recommend her strongly enough.”

Margaux is professional, extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for every single dog and human she works with. As a fellow professional dog trainer, I have exceptionally high standards for anyone who handles, trains, or cares for my dogs. Margaux is always my first call and always exceeds all my expectations for the care she provides. Before Margaux, my husband and I did not go on vacation without our dogs in over two years because we didn’t trust anyone else to watch them. Now, we can finally have ‘couple time’ and trust that our dogs will be safe and happy in Margaux’s capable hands. I highly recommend her services.

“I met with Margaux to work on some reactivity with my dog. She brought her dog Twix to help us. Margaux was really helpful in aiding me through the whole process. We talked about body language and how to navigate my dog’s thresholds. I felt way more confident and knowledgeable about what I was doing after meeting with her!”
