Marion has an impressive career in dog training & has been helping dogs & their people live harmoniously since 2012. Certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, Marion is a graduate of the Animal Behavior College of Valencia, CA Dog Obedience Instructor Training Program (ABCDT). She is also a Certified Trick Dog Instructor & Canine Good Citizen Evaluator through the American Kennel Club, as well as an Instructor & Evaluator for Do More With Your Dog.

When she isn’t training dogs, she is assisting her dog Mizz Ziva as a Certified Therapy dog & contributing regularly to local publications such as Buck’s County Time Herald, Upper Bucks Free Press, & Town & Country. Additionally, Marion also mentor’s new Dog Training students of Animal Behavior College & CATCH Canine Trainers Academy.

Marion’s number one goal in her work is to reduce the number of dogs surrendered due to common (addressable) behavior issues. While it’s a tall order to fill, Marion believes through the use of force-free training methods & teaching dog owners how to raise an emotionally healthy family dog, she can accomplish her goal.
