Testimonials

  • I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for an amazing 4 weeks of Puppy School with Marcia. This is the first time I've experienced Puppy School, I found the program to be exceptionally informative and am very impressed with how easily it has been to give our German Shepherd Lexi commands and understand her. We are first time German Shepherd owners and am so glad we participated in this program. Marcia was fantastic, she is a wealth of knowledge and learnt so much over the past 4 weeks and most importantly of all it gave Lexi a chance to socialise and get used to other dogs being around her. It was a very pleasurable experience and loved being able to bond with Lexi. My 11 year old also attended Puppy School and she is enjoying teaching and training Lexi with all the different commands and games we learnt. Highly recommend Pawsonality.

  • We completed personalised in-home training with Marcia at Pawsonality for our 10-month-old miniature dachshund. We completed four sessions that focused on core skills of verbal communications, using play and control behaviours, leash walking, and control. We felt supported in the training sessions and enjoyed learning new activities together to build our confidence (and our Puppy’s confidence!) We paired these training sessions with the Pawsonality Social Walks and have seen a massive improvement in our puppy's reactivity and our own confidence in leash handling. We would especially like to stress the wheelchair-friendly approach to Marcia’s training sessions, where our puppy learned (and we did too) the various ways to walk on leash in different environments. We highly recommend Pawsonality training to anyone with questions or those in need of guidance in addressing behavioural issues, as well as those just wanting to further strengthen their bond with their fur-baby!

  • I've been feeling so overwhelmed the past few weeks/months. I'm now feeling confident and hopeful that we will have well trained dogs into the future. Here is a picture of both boys dropping and waiting- This time last week I would have said this was impossible. Thank you for being so kind and making me feel comfortable!    
    Laura and “Freddy” & “Mini”
  • “These two (well it was mostly for the cheeky one Maple) finished their 4 week training program with Marcia from Pawsonality today. Maple has made definite steps to improving her behaviour with the help of Marcia’s knowledge, patience and absolute love of dogs and now it’s up to us to continue what has been learned by all of us. Marcia comes highly recommended especially if you want someone who has a real understanding of dog behaviours and a great way of teaching both us the owners and our fur babies.”
    Lisa & “Phoebe” & “Maple”
  • Thank you for the follow up and training notes they will be very helpful.
    I really appreciate all of Marcia’s knowledge and support I don’t know if I could have made the progress we did without her. She truly is a dog whisperer. Thank you and we look forward to some classes and social walks in the future.
    Thanks again
    Catherine and “Summer”
  • I cannot recommend Marcia enough and would urge everyone to have training sessions for their pups with her.  She has helped the relationship immensely between my 2 rescue pups who have gone from constant arguing to now harmonious playing (if staffy play could be called harmonious ha ha) and also the relationship between myself and my problem child ;) who now trusts me to control any situation.  Her help has been invaluable and I really can’t thank her enough.  I’ll definitely be back if any more rescue pups are added into the mix which is highly likely lol!
    Leona & “Minnie” & “Bella”
  • Thank you for helping us communicate better with Koda and teaching us some great training tips and techniques, we've already seen a difference in his behavior and no doubt over time he'll get better with practice and consistency.
    Wallula & “Koda”
  • Marcia was very knowledgeable and throughout the sessions we had I saw immediate improvements in the behaviour of our dachshund. Marcia had a challenge to assist our dachshund adapt to a new kitten plus a 24/7 home care team coming into our home. I am so grateful for Marcia's professional expertise resulting in a very tame and well mannered dog. I recommend Pawsonality extremely highly to anyone needing assistance with dog or cat training.
    Anna & “Zaza”
  • Thank you so much for these substantial notes and advice. Both Indi and I learnt so much during this training course. I can’t thank you enough for what an enormous positive impact and change this has made to us.

  • I really enjoyed your puppy school and your teaching style... I’m loving seeing Betty progressing and getting better with her patience (a big win) and more comfortable when we’re out. I know those wins wouldn’t be happening without what we learnt with you.

  • Marcia your advice was invaluable in helping us on our journey with Jasper... I still hear your voice in my head when he has a pulley day day on lead. Thanks for all your support and guidance over the past 6 years it's been extremely helpful.
    Julia & “Jasper”

    Vanessa & “Letti”
  • You're a gem Marcia... You've gone far and beyond your dog training duties and we very much appreciate it.
    Robyn & “Lucy”
  • The progress he's made in such a short time is a credit to your skills as a dog trainer.
    Matt & “Cooper”
  • A great trainer and a greedy beagle really are a winning combination. When there is a food reward on offer, I'm fairly confident Marcia could teach Harley to perform Shakespeare!
