About Petfect

Meet Marie.

Marie is head trainer and owner of Petfect. She helps puppy parents build a better bond with their dogs using kind, practical training that fits real life.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by toilet training, biting, or sleepless nights, Marie is here to guide you with encouragement — not judgement.

Her approach is rooted in the latest science of how dogs learn through play, positive experiences and a strong emotional connection with their people. Marie uses modern, force-free methods that support your dog’s brain health and behaviour, not just obedience.

In short: compassionate guidance, confident people, and three-minute games that build lifelong skills.
