Andreia grew up doing what she loved most, working with animals. She has had and taken care of her dogs since she was young. As a young teenager, she volunteered to work in kennels. She enjoyed working at a farm helping take care of horses. She attended schooling at the career center for Animal Management where she learned to care for many different animals.

She became a kennel tech here at Marcum and started taking over any client dogs that needed grooming, and now has become a dog trainer.

The Marcum K9 Training Process

From obedience basics to specialized skills, our expert trainers guide every paw toward success, ensuring each session is as exciting as rewarding.

Arrange a Consultation

During your initial training consultation at our Canal Winchester facility, we will assess your dog's temperament, any training skills it may already know, and the most significant challenges you're currently facing.

Training Programs

We understand that each dog is unique, and so are their needs. As we discuss your needs and goals for dog training, our staff will help you devise a plan of attack to get your four-legged friend trained in no time!

Training Classes

The time has come to start the training process. Whether we teach you and your dog one-on-one or enroll in group puppy classes, our expert trainers are there for you along the way! 

Training Maintenance

The work isn’t done once the dog training classes are complete! If you do not use the techniques learned in the training program, your dog can lose the skill over time. Make it a habit to use the commands daily with your dog so the practice becomes a part of your routine!

Jill & Bailey

Our new puppy Bailey is 4 months old and was quite a handful! She would chew on our pants and shoes when we tried walking around, she wouldn’t quite understand how to tell us when she needed to go outside and I was starting to not like our new puppy at all.

Libby trained Bailey for the 5 day board and train and Bailey came back a completely different dog. She is much more calm, no more biting and she is more attentive to us than using us for play toys. She no longer tugs on her leash and is much more enjoyable to take on walks. Libby and Allison saved our relationship with our new puppy. Thank you so much!!!
