About Kerry Marques

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Kerry now lives just over the border in Litchfield, New Hampshire, with her partner and their two dogs, Amo and Duce. A lifelong animal lover, she enjoys spending her free time riding horses, caring for animals, visiting the beach, and spending time with dogs whenever she gets the opportunity.

With 10 years of training experience, Kerry enjoys learning what motivates each individual dog and using that understanding to encourage engagement during training. Her work includes off-leash obedience, behavioral modification, and aggression-related challenges.

Kerry also incorporates real-world environments into training when appropriate. Whether working with a dog at home, walking through public areas, or practicing skills in other everyday settings, she focuses on helping dogs and owners develop practical skills they can continue using together.

Ultimately, Kerry wants training to strengthen communication between dogs and their owners. Her goal is to help owners better understand their dogs while building greater confidence and consistency in everyday life.

Kerry’s Training Philosophy

Kerry believes a handler’s energy matters, but clear communication matters even more. Rather than approaching training through domination, she emphasizes being calm, predictable, and consistent so dogs have a clearer understanding of what is expected.

Training Tip From Kerry: “Your energy matters, but clarity matters more. You don’t need to dominate your dog. Stay calm, predictable, and clear about what you expect.”
