  Marni, at Sensible Canine, is absolutely fantastic. Working with her has been life changing. We have two large dogs, a goldendoodle (97 lbs) and a bernedoodle (70 lbs). The goldendoodle is 6.5 years old and the bernedoodle is almost 3 years old. We had a very easy time with our first dog but have faced issues with our second. Both are love bugs with wonderful temperaments. However, the bernedoodle can be reactive to other dogs, both from the window of our house and on walks. He also barks when people come to our house and has always pulled badly on the leash. When walking two very large dogs, this is challenging to say the least! Eventually, we reached a breaking point and decided professional help was necessary. We signed up for five sessions with Marni. It was the best decision we have ever made for our dogs. Marni uses positive reinforcement with specific tools to teach good behaviors and dissuade negative ones. From the beginning, she provided great insight into what our bernedoodle needs and showed us the power of consistency. Honestly, it was us that needed the training, not our dogs, and we have learned an unbelievable amount from her. Each training session is one hour. Marni uses that time to teach us a variety of tools and walks us through them with both dogs. After each session, Marni sends a detailed email outlining what we have learned and outlining how to practice the tools ourselves. For the training to be effective, you must practice regularly with your dog(s). If you do that, I cannot begin to tell you the difference Marni will make to your life and your dog’s life! We are now able to walk with two very large dogs without being dragged around the block. Our bernedoodle now rarely, if ever, barks at other dogs while on a walk and, if he does, we have the tools to manage it safely and effectively. We are no longer trying and failing with a mix match of different strategies. We have a set of tools we use consistently that work. If you are considering using Sensible Canine, I hope you go for it. I truly cannot recommend it enough!

  Mehak is so gentle and down to earth - I am such a planner and she was able to help me organize my thoughts combined with her professional knowledge of dogs and what my personal dogs could handle as well as identifying where a lot of their behaviors come from to start with. Mehak teaches YOU how to help your dog so you have the skills to keep training and leaves you with notes everytime! My boy has a lot of over excitement and over arousal, leash reactivity, etc etc. but he LOVES to train. While my other pup is more of an older lady with some anxiety and I have been taught how to help her feel more confident and relaxed. We have a third dog and we worked on in home relationships with all of the dogs and manners with her as well! It was our favorite part of the week to have her teach us and the dogs ☺️.

  We did the personalized private lessons with Mehak and she was wonderful. Very knowlegable, helpful and friendly. After every session she would email us all the notes from the session which was very helpful to look back on and review.

  We had such a wonderful experience with Sensible Canine! Mekah was absolutely amazing — patient, understanding, and incredibly skilled at breaking things down in a way that made sense and felt easy to follow. Her kind and compassionate approach created such a calm learning environment for both us and our dog. Schubert adored her from the start, and we could truly see the difference in his confidence and behavior after each session. Highly recommend Mekah and Sensible Canine to anyone looking for a trainer who leads with both expertise and heart!

  Marni has helped us so much with our somewhat difficult rescue pup. Her training techniques and tips have led to a huge improvement in our dog’s behaviors and have given us confidence in our approach. We are so grateful for all that she has taught us!

  Mehak not only did a wonderful job teaching me how to train my dog (and myself!!) but also how to read my dog's moods. Now I'm able to more effectively determine whether my pooch is stressed or happy and then apply the correct techniques to better handle her. Thank you Mehak for your patient, kind and animal-friendly teaching methods!

  I really appreciated Marnie's care, dog knowledge, and strategies for helping my Lab-mix with his extreme fears. She gave me ideas that I hadn't thought of, and they've helped improve my pup's behavior. I especially appreciated her calm and accommodating nature. Thank you, Marnie.

  Marni is the best! We started working with her when we got a rescue puppy that had a lot of nervousness and intense food drive issues. We also needed just basic manners as we had never had to train a puppy before. We have 2 small children so we wanted to be extra careful and make sure we have a good environment for a family dog. Our girl is now so great with our kids and while she still loves food, Marni has given us so many tools and tips that have drastically helped. We truly appreciate the positive reinforcement training method and know that Marni is carefully and patiently working with us and our individual dog’s needs. You can tell how much Marni loves working with dogs as it shows with her dedication and attention to detail. We couldn’t recommend her more!
