Huge shoutout to Aaron for the incredible transformation we’ve seen in our 6 month puppy in such a short amount of time. What sets him apart is not just how well he works with the dog, but how well he teaches the owners too.

What happens in a private session?
Marmon Family Dog Training builds private sessions around the behavior you need to change. Aaron reads your dog, sets the plan, and coaches your timing and follow-through while you practice. In-home work and public settings depend on your location and goals; agree on where you will meet before booking.
- The foundation. Sit, down, place, recall, and loose-leash walking, built one clear step at a time.
- Puppy start. House manners, crate and potty routines, socialization, and biting handled before the habits set.
- Practice for daily life. Work on the habits your dog needs at home and on walks. Confirm the lesson setting with Aaron.
- You do the handling. Aaron coaches your timing and follow-through so you can keep building after the session ends.
- Follow-up support. Aaron stays reachable between sessions so you are never stuck working it out alone.
Puppy Development
A puppy is often the best time to start. Aaron folds a puppy start into private training: house manners, crate and potty routines, early socialization, and focus before the hard habits set, then the foundation as your puppy matures. You learn the handling from day one.
Want Aaron to do the hands-on work and hand the dog back finished? Look at board and train. Private training is the opposite bet: you put in the reps with Aaron in your corner, and come out a more confident handler. Not sure which fits? Ask on the free phone consultation and Aaron will tell you straight.
Which one fits your dog and your life?
Two honest ways to get to a trained dog. Here is the real difference, so you pick the one that fits instead of guessing.
Private, in-home training
Best when you want to be hands-on and your dog can learn in your own home and neighborhood.
- You do the handling, with Aaron coaching you through it
- Training happens in your rooms and on your streets
- Sessions on your schedule, one at a time
- Follow-up support between sessions to keep you on track
Board & Train
Best when you want the heavy lifting done and your dog back ready to go.
- Aaron does the handling himself, start to finish
- Your dog stays and trains with Aaron
- Faster, more consistent daily reps
- A short daily video recap, plus a hands-on handoff
Not sure which is right? Aaron will tell you straight in the free phone consultation.
Private training owners on handling their own dog
Straight from Google. Real Metro East owners who did the handling themselves.
Aaron trained with our golden doodle puppy, myself and my husband. The difference we seen in her was amazing. I would highly recommend him.
Aaron knows dogs! He spent 1 hour with our 2 Golden Doodles, he had the new puppy behaving in the first few minutes. If you need help with dog training, you need Marmon Family Dog Training.
