In memory of Barry who passed away from prostate cancer. Missed so much!
You are what you eat...ask my !4 year old Pom :-))
Barrymore (cos he's alwight lol), is a rescue boy. He's kind, gentle and has helped so many dog aggressive dogs become calm and balanced once more!
They give me so much pleasure. And taught me so much about dog behaviour and the 'primitive' side of dogs!

Happy little client...once more a balanced and calm happy canine companion!
Gone far too soon from cancer, but never ever forgotten. Terry helped so many dogs regain a calm and balanced mind. He was so special!

Reviews

Incredible success from day one with our Bulldog.

5
We were lost prior to Marcelle’s services!!!!!!
Our Rescue Bulldog girl, was called reactive by trainers, she would bark, and she would head butted anything that wasn’t us. Our dog was unhappy and we were surrounded by negativity.
The one off fee is worth every penny as we were able to walk our dog on lead after one session, we attend the weekend sessions, and we have been fully supported judgement free.
Our dog is now off leash with perfect recall, and we have taught our dog how to leave a ball. Our dog is incredibly happy, she is a different dog, the results happened from day one and we haven’t looked back.
There are a lot of inexperienced trainers who give false advice, this led us down a dangerous path with our dog.
Marcelle is incredibly knowledgeable of all breeds, she’s been working over 40 years and it’s been an absolute pleasure working alongside her.
Our only regret not contacting Marcelle’s services sooner and going down the wrong path with rubbish training.

Marcelle has been a godsend

5
We adopted a 9 year old dog and she came with some behaviour issues that we were not able to overcome by ourselves incl. resource guarding and very poor recall. The changes she recommended we make and the training toolkit she provided fixed some of the minor issues immediately and thanks to her free weekend meet ups we had great follow up support to work on the things that needed repetition and our continued work. Also meeting with other dog owners this way has been lovely. Now two month later, we have a relaxed life with our doggy ā˜ŗļø.
Marcelle is still a great support when needed even now, when our dog suddenly started being destructive in her crate at night after a recent storm and we had three sleepless nights in a row, we texted Marcelle and with her advise our doggy slept well through the night again immediately. I’m so grateful and happy we sought her help, worth every penny!

A Life-Changing Trainer for Our Bossy Little Yorkie!

5
We had a home session with Marcelle for our tiny (and very bossy!) Yorkie, Millie — and she was absolutely amazing.

Marchelle was warm, patient, and truly generous with her time. She stayed as long as we needed, addressing all of Millie’s issues — from resource guarding and barking when someone comes near me, to anxiety in the car, walking problems, and even her food and diet.

She offered clear, practical advice and adjusted the session to cover everything we needed — not just basic training, but real behaviour solutions.

On top of that, Marchelle runs free weekend group training sessions where we practise things like recall with other dogs. It’s been a game-changer!

Millie has made huge progress, and we’re both much happier. I can’t thank Marcelle enough!

Reactive French Bulldog

5
We reached out to Marcelle to help with our 4 year old Frenchie who was highly reactive at home and on walks. We chose Marcelle based on her reviews and experience. We have seen significant improvements in her behaviour, however it is a journey. Training isn't just about your dog, it's about training the owners. She has given us the tools to help identify and challenge unwanted behaviour. Marcelle continues to support us at no extra charge on weekly training walks and is always at the end of the phone for advice. We've seen a reduction in barking, improvements to walking to heel and recall within a matter of weeks. We would highly recommend Marcelle.

Marcelle is Incredible

5
I was at my wits end. My 14 month old Labrador was such a handful I felt I couldn't leave the house. Bertie pulled on lead to such an extent I couldn't walk her, she jumped up at visitors the list went on. Since Marcelle has trained ME and Bertie. Bertie is happy, fulfilled and calm, and consequently so am I. Thank you Marcelle.
