About Dogs With Maggie
Credentials and approach
Dogs With Maggie is run by Maggie Barker Beltran, who holds both the CPDT-KA and CDBC certifications and cites "20+ years experience helping families and their pets." The site is explicitly force-free, summing up its philosophy as "No fear. No pain," and says it follows "current science-backed training principles" and the Pet Professional Guild Best Practice Guidelines.
What's offered
Work is delivered through individual in-home sessions around Wooster, with a virtual option available. Puppy programs target biting, house soiling, socialization, leash walking, and recall. Adolescent and adult programs address impulse control, jumping, leash pulling, and object stealing, while behavior consulting covers barking, lunging, resource guarding, and fearfulness. The combination of two recognized certifications, a clearly stated positive philosophy, and detailed problem lists makes this one of the more substantively documented trainers in the area.

Maggie’s patience and positive reinforcement techniques have worked wonders. Ruby, who was initially young and a bit unsure, blossomed under Maggie’s guidance. Maggie has a unique ability to connect with dogs and understand their behavior, which made the training sessions both effective and enjoyable.
I was particularly impressed by her tailored training plans. Maggie took the time to understand Ruby's personality and my goals and crafted sessions perfectly suited to Ruby's needs. Her step-by-step guidance made it easy for me to continue the training at home, reinforcing the behaviors taught during the sessions.
Thanks to Maggie, Ruby is not only well-behaved but also happier and more confident. Her progress has amazed all of our friends and family, and I constantly find myself recommending Maggie to everyone who has a pup in need of training.
If you want a dog trainer who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what they do, Maggie is the one! Thank you, Maggie, for transforming Ruby into the wonderful puppy she is today! 🐾💕🐶

Maggie is very thorough and patient with my dog and her human parents.
Maggie also provides her training program in writing which makes it easier to remember her training instructions.
I would definitely recommend her as a dog trainer.
