Marvin Pierce has been an awesome resource for our family as we trained our ~1yr old German shorthaired pointer. This is our second GSP, but the first one we had tried to train with little kids at home, which gave us much less free time for our own training. We dropped our dog Ranger off for the hybrid program and we were so impressed with the results. While we had trained Ranger on some of the basics, he still had significant training issues: unreliable recall, he would pull badly while on the leash, we couldn’t keep him away from the dinner table at mealtime, and he would constantly steal things like socks and play keep away in the backyard where he was impossible to catch. After roughly a week and a half at the hybrid program, we had what felt like a very new and improved dog. Thanks to the expert training of the team and the introduction of the e-collar, I can now let him run off leash and know he will come when called. We can reliably keep him in his bed at family mealtime rather than surfing the table. We’ve broken him of the game of keep-away, and he walks very nicely on leash. Overall it just took our sweet but very pushy dog and made him SO much more manageable. To top it all off, they’ve been an amazing ongoing resource after the initial program and for occasional boarding.

Marvin and his team are amazing. We had a rescue that was afraid of men and we could not get her to recall at all. Three weeks with Marvin and she was a happy new girl. She loved Marvin and now comes right back even when she sees a 🐿️!

Marvin and the team have been so helpful to us since day 1. We met them back in 2020 when we got our pup and did trainings in their covered horse area, which is now where the kennel is. Since our training, we've done our boarding which our pup comes home smiling and happy. We know she's taken care of when she's at Marvin's. Highly recommend!

Outstanding. We have a spirited puppy who has challenged us to our limits-- Bianca and her team have been there every step of the way. The ongoing support after board and train has been excellent. We are so grateful to have connected with the team at Marvin Pierce Dog Teacher.

My dog went from being a complete train wreck to a brand new dog who listens and follows most directions! Marvin and his team are amazing!
