Marnie Harris, KPA CTP
Dog Trainer
I owned a dog training, boarding, daycare and grooming facility in Colorado for 11 years. I provided one-on-one behavioral therapy for dogs who were reactive, emotional, or aggressive. I also taught group classes, private lessons, online training, workshops, seminars, agility, nose work, and therapy dog certifications.
I have also helped operate several rescues, with a primary focus on dog behavior. This includes serving as the Executive Director of Chicago Canine Rescue, as well as the Canine Manager of Animal Rescue League of Berks County in Pennsylvania.
In addition, I have been a consultant for numerous rescues and shelters across the country, helping resolve their most challenging cases, plus training their staff and volunteers.
I also raised and trained service dogs for autistic children for four years, and taught classes for volunteers, fosters, staff, apprentice trainers, and 4H classes.
I have also rehabilitated dogs in my home that couldn't be adopted out and would have otherwise been euthanized.

Testimonials
Marnie is an amazing trainer. I am grateful she did not give up on Bear and had the patience to teach him new things. Now it seems like I have a different dog, he listens more and is well behaved.
- Denise Montes
Marnie is a fantastic behaviorist/trainer! She listens to you, addresses your comments, and knows how to read your dog (emotions, behaviors, needs, etc.). Marnie tailors her approach to you and your dogs needs. We did 2-3 sessions with Marnie and that worked perfectly for the "behavior issue" we were having with our pup. She taught us what to do outside of the lessons, and we applied it at home to achieve the results we all wanted.
Highly recommend Marnie!

Marnie is fantastic!! I have learned a tremendous amount that will go a long ways towards enriching and helping Bowser live his best life. Marnie has helped me better understand his behaviors and how to address his undesirable behaviors - I'd fully recommend training with Marnie and myself signed Bowser up for multiple 4 week sessions and can see tremendous improvement after each 4 week session. Honestly, Bowser is a changed dog from when I first brought him by and now is able to behave more calmly and make better decisions rather than just be impulsive and lunge at anything and everything he wanted initially.
I absolutely 100% recommend Marnie and her behavioral modification training - she explains things well and sensibly. She truly helped me understand Bowser better and what type of dog he is and how to best train him and continue to train him. I'm still amazed at the relationship she was able to build with Bowser seeing him only a few times a week and how well he behaves when with her. It gives me something to work towards knowing he can be near perfect - I just need to put in the work.
