  We took the Sensible Skills training with our year and a half mini Aussie mix and we loved it. Mehak does a fantastic job at showing us humans how best to communicate with our dogs in a calm, gentle manner and get results!

  We had a wonderful time working with Mehak! She was so kind and very flexible with her schedule. The convenience of having her come to our house was awesome and having her in our dogs actual environment was really helpful. She customized our training package to fit our needs for our dogs, and the training was so individualized for our two girls as well. She really got to know their personalities and translate that into their training. I would absolutely recommend Sensible Canine!!

  We had an incredible experience working with Marni! She taught us so much, answered all of our endless questions, and helped our dog come overcome many of her fears and come out of her shell. We love her philosophy of training with lots of positive reinforcement. After completing our sessions with Marni, we feel prepared to work on new skills with our dog on our own using the strategies that we practiced together.

  When I called Sensible Canine, I was having quite a bit of trouble our puppy Mobi's manners and being able to get him to focus for any period of time. He would jump on us and guests when we came in the door, he was mouthy, and was getting pretty destructive around the house. He isn't the first dog we've had, just the hardest to train. Mehak came to our home and asked us what our concerns were as well as watched Mobi and could see some of them for herself. From our initial consult and through our weeks of training, she gave us the skills we needed to help Mobi focus on good behaviors and reward him for those. She showed us how to redirect from the jumping and the mouthing. I have learned so much and I'm so grateful to Mehak for her patience with both Mobi and my family. I can't recommend her and Sensible Canine enough. Mobi has come so far in just a few short weeks because we have the skills to interact with him and direct him positively. He's really thinking hard before he jumps and he is learning not to use his mouth to get attention. He's not so excited all the time and has learned that it's okay to do nothing sometimes. These sessions work Mehak have made a world of difference. I am so happy we made the call and took the chance. Thanks for everything!

  My husband and I rescued a 1 year old heeler this summer and needed some help getting her to open up and be confident as well as basic obedience training. We hired Sensible Canine and worked with Mehak.  She was great at teaching us the steps to work with our dog and understand what she needed through fun and easy games. The detailed notes after each training and other resources that she provides are extremely helpful even weeks/months later to remember some of the things she taught us. She was always very reliable in scheduling and being on time. I highly recommend Sensible Canine and Mehak

  Thank you to Mehak for being my dog Cocoa's trainer. Mehak was very patient and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how she made the training sessions a positive experience for Cocoa. Never once did Mehak use any type of negative reinforcement, Cocoa was relaxed and engaged the whole time.  This was a good decision because Cocoa has such specific issues (dog anxiety and aggression) there's no way that I could train her by myself. I hope to use Sensible Canine again in the future.

  Mehak is working with me and my rescue dog in regards to socializing behaviors with other dogs, using positive reinforcement. She is reliable with appointments. She is consistent and through with her training methods and knowledge. She has alot of reference material to educate me, and is receptive to my feedback of what's working and what is not. I would recommend her and her company for any of your training needs.
