Dog Training Certifications and Accreditations
Hi, I’m Marie-Cecile - but everyone calls me Marie.
My journey as a reward-based dog trainer began in 2009 with my beloved Beagle, Eli’z. Together, we explored scent training, obedience, and agility. Through patience and positive reinforcement, she became (quite possibly!) the only Beagle in the world to stroll off-lead through Exmoor National Park.
After Eli’z passed in 2023, I welcomed Miss Red, a wonderful Chocolate Labrador, into my life. Believing that every dog needs a purpose, I took up gundog training with her – a breed-specific sport that deepened both our bond and my love for canine learning.
In 2025, after years of hands-on experience and a growing passion for helping dogs thrive, I decided to turn that love into a career and became a dog trainer. Throughout I have had the privilege of working with Christina, whose guidance has not only helped me achieve meaningful progress with my own dog, but who also continues to mentor me as I grow in my journey as a profession dog trainer. Her expertise and support have been invaluable, and I am proud to learn from such a skilled and inspiring trainer.
My mission is simple: to create happy, confident dogs through kind, reward-based training – helping both dogs and their humans enjoy life together to the fullest. In my sessions, I aim to give your dog the exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention they truly need. We will reinforce good manners, build focus, and provide calm, positive social exposure. It’s a safe, productive way to tire your dog out—both mentally and physically—while helping them become a more confident, well-behaved companion.
