About
Marie is head trainer and owner of Petfect.
I help puppy parents build a better bond with their dogs using kind, practical training that fits real life. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by toilet training, biting, or sleepless nights, I’m here to guide you with encouragement, not judgment.
My approach is rooted in the latest science of how dogs learn—through play, positive experiences, and a strong emotional connection with their people. I’m trained in modern, force-free methods that focus on your dog’s brain health and behaviour, not just obedience. That means understanding how things like neurochemistry, learning theory, and emotional regulation all shape the way your puppy responds to the world.
In short? I teach you how to train your dog—with compassion, confidence, and 3-minute games that build lifelong skills.
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me either drawing/painting or spending time with my family and dog.
