Home Dog Training in Vermont

Vermont Dog Trainers

Maryanne Wood has a been a dog lover all her life. She has been active in fostering and rescue work for more than 2 decades, always owning at least 3 dogs at a time. One in particular pulled at her heart – King, a disabled 10 year old Rottweiler mix whose owner had died. “Instead of languishing in a shelter, this 3-legged guy found a safe haven in our home as he lived out the remainder of his days,” recalls Maryanne.

Becoming a professional dog trainer was a dream come true for Maryanne. “Dog training adds one more component to a life I feel so blessed to have. I live in the beautiful Green Mountain State of Vermont, surrounded by nature. Nature exists in the reality that each component is part of the whole. The universe is a beautiful balancing act. As I have observed and worked with dogs over the years, it has become evident to me that they instinctively realize their place in nature. Dogs have so much to teach us about the world around us if we only open our hearts and minds to them.”

That lesson came to the forefront of Maryanne’s life when in August of 2007 she was selected as one of only 33 people from across the United States to join the Behavioral Observation Team at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota. Dogs share many of the same traits as their wolf relatives, so participation in this project gave her an even greater understanding of canine behavior.

Maryanne graduated with high distinction as a Certified Dog Behavior Advisor from Canine Dimensions, then completed her internship by participating in the rehabilitation of fearful and aggressive dogs at our shelter outreach program.

She is recognized by both of the nation’s most prestigious dog training associations: the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals. She is also certified by the American Kennel Club as a CGC evaluator.

Canine Dimensions Home Dog Training services the entire state of Vermont, and Clinton County NY.

Hi Maryanne,

Just a note to let you know that Rocky and our family are all doing fine. He is much better behaved since we met you. We really cannot thank you enough for everything you've done. We were considering having to rehome Rocky but now that you helped us resolve his behavior issues, we can't imagine life without him. Thank you so much.

Bill and Margot

Maryanne,

There is an amazing change in Lucy since you visited us in December. Lucy now comes when she is called - every time. No more running out the door, no more jumping up on our guests. I'm just sorry we didn't call you sooner!

Thanks again,
Brian

Maryanne,

I want to Thank You tremendously for the training you did with Jingles. He is fantastic and your methods and rapport with him was excellent. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone who needs dog training!!!

We have been working with him everyday but I cannot really call it work as he makes it quite enjoyable. The walking is such a pleasure....to have him heel and be focused on me is so much easier and calming for Michael and myself.

I’ll keep in touch and for sure when we add any dogs to the mix you will be the one I call.

Regards,
Thea

Maryanne,

“Mocha is doing well. We had a barbeque at our house on July 5th and she was great. She barked some, but I was able to get her attention and have her stop, and she did better than I ever thought possible. She was around all the guests and she even let them pet her and feed her, with only minimal barking. Pretty much a miracle!

She no longer barks at noises from outside in the night. We love this. And when she does bark at something that scares her, we can use her new obedience commands and she stops in seconds.

Taking her on walks calmly is going to take a bit longer, but now that I know what to do I'm sure we will eventually get there.

She is a success story!”

Thanks,
Rose
