Aaron trains high-energy, high-anxiety, and service dogs across the Metro East, with a daily video on every board and train. Below: real dogs, real places, real Google reviews.

Rescuing a dog from a shelter is quite the journey. Aaron provided a sigh of relief that no other trainer was able to do. There is nobody else I would want to train our dogs.
Not a training-room highlight reel. This is training that holds on the neighborhood walk, around the kids, and out in public.

Off leash, rock solidNo leash, no fuss, in the middle of downtown. Aaron trains the dog to want to stay with you, then hands you the same handling.

A stay a kid can walk up toHolding a stay in a public park while a child walks up to say hi. Family-proofing is the whole point of family dog training.
How it works →
Calm at homeThe training comes home with a hands-on handoff and session videos, so the calm you saw in the videos is the dog you live with.

Marmon Family Dog Training turns high-energy, high-anxiety, and reactive dogs into dogs their families can actually live with. Aaron Marmon works each dog himself, proofs the training in real public places, and on every board and train sends a short daily video, so the change holds at home and shows up on Google in a 5.0 rating from 42 reviews.

She no longer has anxiety, knows her commands, does great on and off leash, and our hikes are so much more enjoyable! He also helped her with socializing.

We enrolled Rey into the 4 weeks board and train with amazing results! My dog is more calm, confident, and well-behaved. Thank you Aaron Marmon.

Aaron at Marmon Family Dog Training has taken our rescue dog Cardi to new, amazing potential. We love seeing the abilities she never knew she had!

Baxter was jumping all over our guests non-stop, preventing us from having people over. We highly recommend Aaron, as we can now enjoy friends over and company again!

Eleanor, rescue Anatolian

We sent our golden doodle Friday to Marmon Family Dog Training when she was around 9 months old. I told Aaron, when I call my dog, I want her to come to me.

Great trainer! Jaxson is one of the best behaved German Shepherds I’ve ever seen since working with Aaron. Thank you for the hard work, it paid off in Spades!

Our dog has been somewhat of a challenge from the beginning. As a rescue dog she was immediately a beloved member of our family, but we quickly noticed that she had more energy than most any dog we have ever come across.

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’s training with Maggie was the best investment you can make into our dog, our family, and our sanity!

Aaron is genuine! Flexible. He loves what he does, and that very spirit is reflective in all his fur students! He’s THE BEST. He’s patient, thorough, confident and a professional.
We have a six-year-old overly friendly, energetic lab. When Aaron told us he was going to take her to Home Depot, parks, and places where she was going to see lots of people and other dogs, I was skeptical. We have used more trainers than I can count...
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.
We sent our Weimaraner, Bishop, for the board-and-train program and could not be happier. The daily videos of Bishop training in places like Home Depot and Busch Stadium gave us so much confidence. Bishop is awesome on and off leash and we feel confident taking him anywhere.
Aaron was the most amazing person I could have even imagined for the job of dog trainer. He not only trained my dog but took the time every single time to send me DETAILED videos explaining what was going on to help me out for when my dog got home.
Marmon Family Dog Training has been a life saver. Getting a new puppy while having 2 young kids under 5 was not exactly our smartest decision. Dolly was full of energy pulling on her leash, wild inside and could not be off leash outside.
Amazing experience! Aaron was amazing to work with, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. We immediately noticed a difference in our dog after one session. Each session our dog continued to build and improve with Aaron’s guidance.
Aaron did a fantastic job with my dog Knox. We had several issues with Knox and bringing him to Aaron earlier would have saved me some headaches and frustration. Not only did Aaron help get Knox on a better path but helped me as a dog owner.
Aaron is awesome! My pup was very young, 12 weeks old when I dropped him off for Aaron’s boarding and training. It was the first week, that he had some success already with some drills. Fast forward, Bodhi is a joy to work with on my own.
We rescued Jerry from a local shelter and it quickly became apparent that he experienced trauma early on in his life. Jerry is very anxious and we wanted to provide him with the best opportunity to succeed.
We cannot say enough great things about how amazing Marmon Family Dog Training is! Aaron takes the time to know your dog, and asks questions to set the training to your needs. He is a great teacher and his patience is unmatchable.
Aaron was amazing. He worked with my 5 yo GSD every week for 8 weeks and by the end she was far less reactive. She is still doing well, but I know that if I need advice or sessions again, Aaron will be there.
Aaron knows dogs! PERIOD! 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.
Highly recommend Marmon Family Dog Training. Aaron is amazing with the dogs. He had my wild puppy sitting and lying down calmly during the first visit.
Aaron is such a genuine guy and that shines through while he is training his dogs. You can tell that he really cares for your pet and has very effective training procedures. The dogs reciprocate that kindness and authority with obedience. 5/5 highly recommend!
My dog hasn’t been wanting to eat since we moved houses over a month ago. I had a conversation with Aaron, and he’s practically back to normal 4 days later. Such a relief!
I was very afraid that we would have to get rid of our dog. GREAT dog, but his peeing in the house was destroying our home. Aaron helped us work through the problem and we’ve now been free from pee puddles for months! Thanks Aaron!
Thanks to your help training Aina, we have been able to take her into the woods off leash for a walk and have been able to call her off squirrels.
When I first got my dog, it happened by mistake. He was not good at listening and walking him was a challenge. I was introduced to Aaron through a friend.
Aaron worked wonders for my pupper. I often get compliments on how well behaved he is and that is all due to the training he received from Aaron and I highly recommend!!!
It absolutely amazes me how well Aaron trains these pups of all age groups. Whoever said old dogs can’t learn new tricks hasn’t met Marmon Family Dog Training!
Very knowledgeable and uses techniques that yield the positive results you are looking for. If you want your dog to follow commands and stop bad habits in their track. This is who you want leading the way.
Aaron really understands how to speak to the dogs style of training. He is patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend working with them.
Aaron is an incredible trainer. His breed knowledge is beyond measure!
Highly recommended Marmon Family Dog Training. Professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Definitely the best around!
Tell Aaron what your dog is doing. You get a straight read on the fix and the right program. No pressure, no sales pitch.
