Maureen is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP) and a Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI). During the COVID pandemic in 2020, Maureen helped clients train their puppies virtually, and because of the successes achieved during that time, she continues to offer virtual training as an option.
Training Philosophy
Maureen believes training should be fun and those training activities are something you and your dog can enjoy all through their life. Working together, you will learn how positive reinforcement gets the behaviors you want from your dog and in the progress strengthens your relationship.

- K9 Nose Work® Group or Private Classes
Nose work is a relatively new dog sport inspired by scent detection trainers and their desire to create an activity that encourages dogs to use their innate hunting & scenting abilities. Whatever the age and ability of your dog, or you, nose work is an engaging and fun activity. Designed to be all-inclusive for both people and dogs:
Nose work is great activity for building confidence, independence and problem-solving skills by using their super power sense of smell!
For you, the handler, no special training is required. It is a low-impact sport.
You can do nose work classes just for fun or for competition
