Gary Maria, is an outstanding communicator and trainer. Our dog has fear aggression issues. Gary was able to give us the ability to recognize the signs and the tools to work with him to make him feel more comfortable. His approach has allowed our dog to be much calmer and feel protected. I would highly recommend Gary for your training needs.

Melissa Herzog Gary (of Gary Maria Dog Training) is a fantastic dog trainer. He was able to relate immediately to our dog and gave us a sense of calm right away. Gary has some specific training sessions that really worked since they are based on his years of experience working with animals in a dignified fashion. His methods are up to date with the current training techniques.
