"Mallery Chabot ranks right up there with the Dog Whisperer in my opinion. Tybee is a rescued Maltese who had a number of issues. He had been locked up in a room all day and rarely let out. As a result he was extremely cautious around others which often resulted in aggressive behavior such as jumping, barking and nipping. Since working with Mallery he is a much calmer, loving dog. He obeys basic commands. Even the dog groomer called to compliment his behavior the last time he visited. I would highly recommend her."

" Max learned so much; the children can play & enjoy him now. Max can finally come with us to the park now!  Mallery was always on time and helpful, Jim and I could not be happier!!" -Cindy & Jim Allen, Dawsonville, GA

"Thanks to Mallery our dog Bennett is now a family pet.  We enjoyed her coming to our house, the education she provided us on the breed and gave us instructions that were easy to learn and carry forward.  Her service was fantastic and so helpful! Thank You!" -The Mitchell Clan, Atlanta, GA

"The personalized instruction makes such a difference, plus the added benefit of having the lessons at my house.  Kota has learned so much!" -Maryann Winter.

"I found Mallery through one of her listings, and was in need of some help with my Chocolate Lab. He is as sweet and goofy as can be, but he is quite a big boy, at 85lbs and still growing, he can be hard to handle at times. My biggest issue with him, is that he is absolutely scared of many, many things. Mostly people are what freak him out. So, I needed someone who could show me how to have a handle on him and how to help him learn to cope with his fears. I called several different people, and one place wanted him for at least 6 weeks and over $3000, another man wanted to put him on medication, and he hadn't even met Kingsley yet. I spoke with Mallery, and felt an instant understanding and openess from her. She met Kingsley and began to help me learn how to work with him. She introduced me to the Gentle Leader, that has been a life saver, and I am no longer being pulled everywhere! His fear of people will take time to get over, but Mallery has given me great tips and tools on how to improve this, and I have seen amazing improvements with Kingsley. I feel like I have better control over Kingsley and a better understanding on how to handle Kingsley's fears. Mallery has given me the knowledge that is worth far more than what the classes cost. I can actually enjoy taking my dog for a walk now, which as simple as that sounds, was one of the hardest things to do. Thanks Mallery." -Laura B. Atlanta, GA

"Jack is a Labrador retriever mix who we rescued last September.  Jack had not been treated very well, with little attention and no training.  He was a mess!  Really out of control. I took him to a short series of classes with a dozen other people and their dogs.  It helped some, but left a lot to be desired.  Since you have started coming to our house and giving Jack one on one training, he is a very changed dog.  The fact that the training is done at our house, so that you can see his environment, has made a huge difference.  The little things, such as how to enter the door, stopping jumping up on people, how to act inside our house, etc., have made him a joy to be with.  You have also trained me on how to communicate with him, so that he knows what I want and expect.  This has certainly relieved a lot of frustration for both of us!" -Jeff C. Dawsonville, GA

"Immediately after the very 1st session we had with Mallery we saw a huge change in our new puppy Bailey.  For months we had been struggling with house breaking, different kinds of obedience issues; you name it.  Mallery was, and still is able to customize all her knowledge and make it into a program that actually works!  All Mallery's impressive accreditation's speak the truth!  I highly recommend her to anyone in need of animal assistance."

“After months of cleaning up messes, hiding destroyed furniture, and wishing our dog Beau would listen to us, we called Mallery.  It was like all of the sudden an air of freedom and hope came over us and Beau.  Within the first few minutes of our very first session we saw a difference and we were hooked!  Beau is now a happy and included member of our family who even cleans up his toys when he’s done with them!!  Mallery was great! We would highly recommend her!” –Joshua & Sarah H. Gainesville, GA 

“Mallery has a way with dogs that is unlike any other trainer I’ve seen before.  She confident, and she transfers that straight through to whomever she is in contact with.  Our Rottweiler Kesor, had been pulling and barking so much we couldn’t take him anywhere.  After Mallery came along, that all changed, we take him with us to visit neighbors, parks, everywhere and he’s just a doll now.  With our sincere thanks we recommend her” -Paul & Jean A. Cumming, GA 

“I was taught when a dog misbehaves, yell or whack them to get the message across, but now I’ve learned that positive training goes a much longer way than that and because of it, Millie and I have a great relationship.  Thank you so much Mallery!” –Miranda L. Gainesville, GA

“There are many trainers available to people who are looking for quick fix answers, not solutions.  Mallery is a “lifetime trainer” she promotes consistency, permanence, and praise to motivate everyone involved.  She has worked with cases that many trainers turned away and has yet to give up.  She won’t give you a quick fix, she will however, educate you and take you through each step at your pace towards a healthy solution.” –Dr. Miller DVM , FL
