Marie Selarque is a fantastic, gentle and caring dog trainer. She is simply a natural with dogs and her positive reinforcement methods made training our 10-week-old Labradoodle (Daffodil) a great experience.

We so believed in Marie that we flew her from Oahu to Maui on a regular basis to help with the initial training. Due to our hectic lifestyle, we weren't always able to spend as much time on a daily basis reinforcing what Daffodil had learned. Therefore, on two occasions, we sent Daffodil to Oahu to board with Marie. Although we missed having our puppy around, we knew that Daffodil was in the safest hands possible for nurturing and training.

We consider Marie a friend of our family and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who's looking for the best.

When Cortes was 9 months old, I was feeling stuck and a bit frustrated in my training. Private sessions with Marie have improved and enriched my relationship with Cortes immensely. Marie was able to address specific issues and behaviors unique to Cortes and teach me to handle them in positive and effective ways. The information, support and techniques she shared with me helped me get over the adolescent "hump" and took my training with Cortes to a new level. Marie is a wealth of information and I look forward to her continued help in learning with Cortes as he grows and changes. – Cristal & Cortes
For a nominal price, Marie offers a great opportunity to find out if you are interested in agility for your dog without the frightening commitment of seeking out the people who are competing. My dog really liked some of the activities immediately, but she gained the confidence to do even those activities which were initially threatening. I believe, she even likes to show that she can do the scary ones as she repeats them in subsequent weeks. – Margaret & Hoku
Marie Selarque came highly recommended to us by a friend. We had just acquired a four-year-old untrained Great Dane. Marie taught us to use gentle techniques when interacting with our dogs. Our dog's manners improved immediately and before we new it they were sitting patiently, lying down on command, walking without pulling on their leashes and becoming familiar with the commands "stay" and "off." We all (dogs included) look forward to our next training session with Marie. – Wayne & Sydnee & Great Danes Kila & Border Collie Panda
I first met Marie at the Bark Park when my chocolate lab pup, Sarah, was 4-and-a-half months old. After watching Marie work with her dogs several times, I asked her about helping me give Sarah some basic training. We agreed on a series of sessions at my house. Marie had an immediate rapport with Sarah. After four sessions, Sarah had the basics of her training. Marie was prompt and professional. She has an obvious love and respect for dogs. Sarah stills greets her with great enthusiasm at the Bark Park. Dave & Sarah
Marie of Pro-Dog Hawaii has been a great help in giving us the tools to raise a healthy, happy dog that can interact with humans as well as within dog society. Her reward-based training is compassionate and non-violent, and can be used by children, adults, and seniors. We have boarded our puppy with Marie on a number of occasions, and each time Mele has been welcomed in as an accepted part of the family. We have the utmost confidence that not only will our puppy be walked and fed, but she will also be given both the attention and the discipline that she needs and deserves. – Mary, Ward & Mele
