  Marni was wonderful in helping us work with our dog in prep for baby! She was patient (with our pup and us ;) ) and was flexible in terms of her approach and the logistics for our sessions which was much needed during pregnancy. Highly recommend working with Marni and appreciate her working with us and meeting us where we were at during each session,

  We had a wonderful experience working with Marnie! It takes lots of hard work, but Marnie is so patient and the dogs loved her vibe and energy. I feel confident that if more questions or concerns come up for our dogs we would reach out to Sensible Canine.

  We love Sensible Canine! Mehak Greenberg was wonderful with our very spirited puppy and we learned so much that the whole family can implement. I loved the small, intimate group classes that allowed for more personalized support and the follow up notes were always so helpful to reinforce what we learned. We're really benefited from leash training, recall techniques, and use of rewards. Thank you, Sensible Canine. Highly recommend!

  I brought my pup in for sensible skills training - the basics for younger dogs. We both really enjoyed the training - towards the end my dog was excited Sunday mornings knowing we were headed to training. The facility is clean and has lots of space. He learned the basics of sit, down, stay, leave it, "calm" greetings, and loose leash walking. You also get a handout after every class with tips to make it easier to practice each week. Mehak is a great trainer and enjoyed working with her. Thanks!

  Marni was a fantastic trainer. She provided science backed education to me every session and knew how to treat my pup.

She was flexible on meeting times and communicative before and after the sessions—even providing written coaching notes after we met.

I would definitely recommend Marni and her company!

  Sensible Canine's expertise as a trainer has been nothing short of transformative for my dog. From the moment we embarked on this journey, their commitment to understanding Pepper Ann's unique needs was evident.

Their approach brought a deep understanding and sense of empathy to better understand my pet. They delved into the underlying reasons for Pepper Ann's behaviors, tailoring their methods to address her specific issues.

Throughout the training process, Sensible Canine provided invaluable guidance, empowering my partner and I with the knowledge and tools to reinforce positive behaviors effectively. Their dedication to Pepper Ann's progress was unwavering, and their genuine passion for helping dogs and their owners was palpable.

Thanks to Sensible Canine, Pepper Ann has undergone a remarkable transformation. She's not just better behaved; she's happier, more confident, and we've forged an even deeper bond as a family. I wholeheartedly recommend Sensible Canine to anyone seeking expert guidance in nurturing a fulfilling relationship with their furry companions.

  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!!
