Philosophy

Training should be fun & increase the bond between you & your dog.  Mary loves the incredible relationship that develops with advanced training & the rewards of keeping dogs in their homes.  She incorporates a variety of positive reinforcement based techniques, including lure/reward & marker training using food, toys, play, praise & touch.  Competing with her own dogs in a variety of sports allows Mary to understand how to use food in training without causing the dog to become dependent on it.

​

​Rather than choosing a breed that is likely to excel in one particular sport, Mary has always preferred living with the individuals that are the right fit for her lifestyle & doing activities that they enjoy together.  Her Malamutes have earned recognition in obedience, agility, rally & other performance events. 

High Five!

What's in a name?  Mary's training name 'Modar' comes from her first two performance dogs, Mokie & Radar, who are pictured at the top of each page!
