Mary Ellen with "Wyatt," one of her students.

Mary Ellen Walsh’s level of experience in dealing with dogs is a quality that few trainers possess. Since the early eighties, Mary Ellen has bred and trained Labrador retrievers that are both hunting and AKC Championship titled and is active in Labrador and all breed dog clubs in the U.S. and abroad. A mother of two, Mary Ellen has been exposed to and has resolved virtually every type of real life family situation involving dogs, children, their parents, and family “scheduling.” Mary Ellen has been featured on numerous television shows demonstrating her training techniques. Her instruction is always in an easy to understand manner and in a tone that’s fun, relaxing, and non-threatening and non-intimidating for the dog, its owners, and their children.   Mary Ellen is available for private instruction in the comfort of your home in the Fairfield County, Connecticut and Northern Westchester County, NY areas. You will have a training program designed specifically for you and your dog. Mary Ellen is also available for phone consultations.
