Nirvana Tails Moment: A state of perfect happiness and bliss for enlightened pets and their people.
Mary Molloy uses compassion, kindness and understanding to build a foundation of trust. When animals understand they are in a safe space, they are eager to learn. Her years of experience and training come packaged with a calming demeanor that helps an anxious animal (and owner) relax and enjoy the training process.

Mary conducts all initial sessions via Zoom. There are a number of reasons why this is beneficial:
- It eliminates stress, anxiety, or fear for animals who need time to warm up to strangers;
- Some pets are so happy to meet a new person that their enthusiasm makes focusing difficult;
- Much of our first consultation is spent learning or strengthening new ways of working with your pet, which can be done just as effectively via remote;
- Remote training has been shown to be just as effective as in-person training for many behavior issues, including aggression (1);
- It saves you time and money.
Mary approaches her consults in a very professional manner and works to a high standard. She is well prepared and very knowledgeable but not rigid in her views and always open to considering other viewpoints or new scientific findings. She uses her knowledge and skills to custom tailor her methods/consults to the need of the owner, and does that in a very gentle way, which is a pleasure to observe. I have already recommended her to friends in the NYC area and will certainly continue to do so. --Irene-A. Zimmer, Dr.med.vet., MRCV

My husband and I were so pleased with the dog training provided by Mary for our Papillon, Sandrine. Mary gave us so many suggestions and techniques to help us deal with our dog’s fear of other dogs and skittishness around people. She also helped us train our puppy to do basic commands and make the walks in our busy neighborhood less stressful and more enjoyable for all of us! One of the most useful tools Mary gave us was fantastic follow-up emails and handouts after each session to review what was taught and explain in greater detail each command or strategy and ways to expand on it. We keep these in a folder and refer to them often. Overall, I highly recommend Mary as a dog trainer who uses only positive training methods and gets the desired results. --Lisa Seacrist and Sandrine, Forest Hills, NY
