Marcia has been teaching people to train their dogs for over 17 years in the Midcoast Region of Maine. She is dedicated to helping people strengthen and maintain the bond they share with their dogs. It is a particular pleasure to help to shape well behaved, cherished family companions as well as competition-ready teams. Marcia also trains her own dogs in obedience, agility, herding, rally, tracking and canine musical freestyle. She has enjoyed national and regional recognition and multiple high-in-trials in various venues with her dogs in the areas in which she trains and competes and is grateful to her dogs as teachers, partners, and friends. She credits her dogs and their joy in learning through reward based training for her successes. She invests in her continuing education through books and videos, by attending seminars and clinics, taking classes, and networking with other trainers. Marcia shares her home with 3 Australian Shepherds, 1 Gordon Setter, 9 sheep, 9 ducks, and Jack, who puts up with them all... Her happiest hours are spent teaching. Working with people and dogs is a source of constant satisfaction for her.
