Do you ever go on a hike with your dog and think to yourself, “Wow, I wish my dog would come when she is called like that!”...


Maybe you've recently brought home a new puppy and are unsure how to best approach his/her training.

Or perhaps you’ve rescued a dog and he has major separation anxiety and you just don’t know how to make him feel at ease.

Or maybe you’ve been training for a while, but your training isn’t where you want it to be. Even though you’ve been improving slowly on your own, you still don’t feel confident enough about your dog’s behavior to visit the local dog park or walk off-leash.


If you found yourself nodding along the way to any of those scenarios, you're definitely not alone.


I've helped thousands of dog owners create deep connections and control with their canine partners.

WELCOME TO THE DOGWERKS WAY!



The Dogwerks Way is a unique approach to dog training in which the Human learns to "Speak Dog" in order to communicate more clearly with their canine partner. This straight-forward, effective approach leads to a deepening of the dog-human bond and many Win-Win rewards. This course covers a foundation of Dog communication and how to teach the basic obedience commands from the position of a Trusted, Respected, and Adored Leader.

I am SO excited to introduce my brand new class, The Dogwerks Way! I personally designed this class to help you learn to "Speak Dog" in order to communicate more clearly with your canine partner with consistency, love, and confidence.


This class is like pulling up a virtual seat next to me in my kennel for an entire day!

I’ll be teaching you basic obedience commands, how to understand your dog through an interpretation of body language, and understanding associations. I also share my favorite equipment for different stages of training.

I created this class to give dog owners all of the tools and tips that I wish I had known when I started out. Regardless of your dog’s age or where you’re at now, this class will help you build your dog’s confidence, provide mental stimulation, and strengthen your bond. 


Together we will learn…

  • How to become the pack leader in your dog’s life.
  • How dogs use a language of body postures and energy to communicate their status to each other. 
  • What emotional displays are often misread.
  • Ways to prevent aggression towards other animals or people.
  • How to address puppy biting.
  • Avoid common mistakes that leave your dog feeling confused and sad.
  • How to use food in training in a way that rewards behavior but does not create dependency on treats.
  • How to help your dog feel relaxed even when left home alone.
  • Help prevent destructive behavior like chewing on your furniture or raiding your trash can.

What you'll get when you enroll:

  • Lifetime access to this dog training course
  • Exercises to practice with your dog after each lesson
  • A lifetime of great connection with your canine buddy

"DogWerks is incredible. The teaching style felt perfect for us. My 1 year old German Shepard/Malinois responded so well to everything we worked on. For me, this was more than just a dog training class. I learned about how my dog thinks, what gives her anxiety, and how to help her work through those things. At the same time, realizing that this may be just what I needed to deal my own anxieties. Marielle has provided us with tools and training exercises to help build confidence and trust in each other. With practice and patience we continue our adventures together. She has helped us work towards the next level in our relationship and we are so very grateful. We can’t wait to see her again."

"I worked with Marielle years ago when we got our Rottie puppy and she was wonderful in explaining what we needed to do so that our pup would understand what we wanted and I have consulted with Marielle on almost every dog since then. She is really good at training us owners on what we need to do correctly to get the appropriate responses from our dogs. I trust her and Debbie with my dogs when I need to board them when I travel. I know they are in great hands and are such good girls when I come home! Highly recommend Marielle for any and all types of training, or boarding, needs!!"
