Board-and-train dogs work real outings: the Arch grounds, busy plazas, crowds and noise. A command that holds there holds anywhere.

Success stories
Real dogs, real results.
Named breeds, named problems, real outcomes. This is what training with Aaron actually does for Metro East families and the dogs they live with.
Proof, not promises
Proof sits next to every claim.
Aaron Marmon trains high-energy, high-anxiety, and service dogs across the St. Louis Metro East, then sends a detailed video after every session so you see the change for yourself. Below are real dogs, in real places, and the reviews their families left on Google.
In the field
Training, in the places that matter.
Not a training-room highlight reel. This is obedience that holds on the neighborhood walk, around the kids, and out in public.

This is Rey, the same lab mix from the reviews wall, holding commands outside Busch Stadium after the 4-week board and train.

Loose leash, anywhereMaddie at a perfect heel
No tension in the leash, no fight. Aaron teaches the dog to want to stay with you, then teaches you the same handling.
Private training →
A stay a kid can walk up toSteady around children
Holding a stay in a public park while a child walks up to say hi. Family-proofing is the whole point of family dog training.
How it works →
Calm at homeThe living room test
The training comes home with a hands-on handoff and session videos, so the calm you saw in the videos is the dog you live with.
Behavior help →
Easy around kidsA dog the whole family trusts
Relaxed off leash next to a boy and a soccer ball. This is the create-the-dog-you-dreamed-of part.

The dogs behind the reviews.
Every one of these is a real Metro East dog whose family left a review on Google. Same trainer, same method, a different problem solved each time.
What kind of results does Marmon Family Dog Training get?
Marmon Family Dog Training turns high-energy, high-anxiety, and reactive dogs into dogs their families can actually live with. Aaron Marmon works each dog himself, proofs the training in real public places, and sends a detailed video after every session, so the change holds at home and shows up on Google in a 5.0 rating from 41 reviews.
Josey, the Blue Heeler: from anxious to easy on the trail
Josey came in anxious. Her owner, Felecia S., says she “no longer has anxiety, knows her commands, does great on and off leash, and our hikes are so much more enjoyable.” Aaron also worked her socializing, so the dog that used to struggle now handles other dogs and the trail without the stress.
Bishop, the Weimaraner: a board and train that holds anywhere
Bishop went through the board and train program. His owner, Nicolas F., watched daily videos of Bishop working in places like Home Depot and Busch Stadium and gained the confidence to take him anywhere. Bishop is “awesome on and off leash,” and the family now feels comfortable bringing him out in public with them.
Knox: six weeks of board and train, and an owner who learned too
Knox spent six weeks in board and train. Sending him away was tough, but his owner, D. Cray, is “more than glad I did it.” Beyond the dog’s training, Aaron helped the owner understand what he had been doing wrong at home. The only regret was not reaching out to Aaron sooner.

“He is worth every penny and more. The Ecollar training, care and continued support we received from Aaron over the years has CHANGED OUR LIVES! Eleanor is happy, healthy, and a great addition to our family thanks to Aaron Marmon. I could go on and on but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for all things dog.”

Look at that default down with Ranger! Aaron provided a sigh of relief that no other trainer was able to do. There is nobody else I would want to train our dogs. They absolutely loved him and so did we!

Rocky, our rescue dog has been quite a challenge from the beginning with extremely high energy. We immediately enrolled her with Marmon Family Dog Training with incredible results. Thank you Aaron Marmon!

Great trainer! Jaxson is one of the best behaved German Shepherds I’ve ever seen since working with Aaron. Thank you for the hard work, it paid off in Spades!

I was having developmental issues with Rey and needed a professional trainer to help. We enrolled Rey into the 4 weeks board and train with amazing results! My dog is more calm, confident, and well-behaved. Thank you Aaron Marmon.

Baxter is such a good dog, yet was jumping all over our guests non-stop, preventing us from having people over. We highly recommend Aaron with Marmon Family Training as we can now enjoy friends over and company again!

Aaron at Marmon Family Dog Training has taken our rescue dog Cardi to new, amazing potential. We love seeing the abilities she never knew she had!
Robin Puderbaugh5★
Aaron is genuine! Flexible. He loves what he does, and that very spirit is reflective in all his fur students! He’s THE BEST. He’s patient, thorough, confident and a professional. His teachings are solid, yet basic in element for a real learned experience!

Aaron was the most amazing person I could have imagined for the job of dog trainer. He took the time every single time to send me DETAILED videos explaining what was going on. I basically have a whole new dog and I am more than impressed with the work he did.

Amazing experience! We immediately noticed a difference in our dog after one session. I feel more confident handling my dog and the bad behaviors she worked through, and I now have the tips and tricks to keep building on her training.

Aaron did wonders with our Blue Heeler, Josey. She no longer has anxiety, knows her commands, does great on and off leash, and our hikes are so much more enjoyable! He also helped her with socializing.

We sent our Weimaraner, Bishop, for the board-and-train program and could not be happier. The daily videos of Bishop training in places like Home Depot and Busch Stadium gave us so much confidence. Bishop is awesome on and off leash and we feel confident taking him anywhere.

Aaron did a fantastic job with my dog Knox. Sending him away for 6 weeks was tough but I’m more than glad I did it. He helped me as a dog owner better understand what I was doing wrong. I just wish I reached out sooner.
