I had a fantastic experience working with Marcia. She supported my dog through loose-lead training, nervousness and general obedience, and the difference has been remarkable. Her calm, patient manner immediately put me and Bailey at ease, and her positive, consistent approach made each session productive and enjoyable.Thanks to Marcia, walks are more relaxed, Bailey is noticeably more confident, and his overall obedience has improved so much.I highly recommend Marcia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive and truly compassionate trainer.

Our Portuguese rescue dog arrived with us two months ago, with zero recall, very strong on the lead & showing some reactivity towards other dogs. After just four sessions with Marcia he's already much more engaged with us & showing great recall, returning even when out of sight. His lead walking, although not quite there, is so much better than it was. We've booked another block to address his reactivity but feel sure that, once his recall is 100%, he'll overcome this.Marcia is empathetic & so knowledgable, most importantly training us as owners as well as Dino. Her fees are very reasonable & we would totally recommend her to anyone who has a new dog in their family.

We’ve just completed six weeks of personalised adolescent dog training with Marcia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marcia has such a calm, gentle manner and an incredible understanding of dogs and their individual needs. Her 1:1 approach meant that every session was tailored specifically to our rescue dog, which made such a difference.She guided us patiently through various aspects of training and helped us better understand how to work with our dog in a positive, effective way. Our dog responded so well to both Marcia and her techniques, and we’ve seen real progress over the weeks.We’ve really enjoyed our lessons and are so grateful for Marcia’s knowledge, expertise, and supportive guidance. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalised dog training.Jenni and Trevor

Marcia is incredibly knowledgeable, patient (with us and our puppy!), and supportive. Also extremely reliable and adaptable. Don't hesitate, I thoroughly recommend Bristol Dog Days.

I purchased a reactive package with Marcia for my 1 year old dog Filo who was showing a lot of signs of reactivity, and I'm so happy with the results. She's gone from lunging at strangers and being scared of traffic and main roads, to being able to walk down the high street at school home time. Marcia taught me how to work with Filo with short bursts of training and she is now so responsive to me and walking wonderfully on the lead. Really she has trained me and not my dog!! I really recommend her as an affordable, down to earth and passionate dog trainer who clearly knows what she's doing. Thank you Marcia! From Rhianna and Filo

We’ve been working with Marcia for just 2 weeks now, for loose lead walking, and we have already seen a huge difference in our Labrador Ruby who was a notorious heavy puller! Ruby is much more engaged with us and is responding really well to the training. Marcia uses only positive reinforcement and is very kind natured, patient and knowledgeable. Ruby tends to be anxious around strangers but she warmed to Marcia very quickly. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to train their dog.
