Maureen Keene Testimonial Turns an Aggressive Dog into a Loving Family Member

Turns an Aggressive Dog into a Loving Family Member

My first dog ever was adopted from Last Chance Rescue during Covid. He is a Plott Hound named Taylor. At the time, I wasn't told he was born into a dog-fighting ring in South Carolina and escaped after three years of being a practice dog for pit bulls and Rottweilers.


When I adopted him, he was withdrawn, aggressive, and afraid of everything and everybody. If I had returned him, he would have been deemed unadoptable and would have spent the rest of his life on a farm, tied up.

Enter Maureen Keene, who worked with Taylor to restore his personality from the mental and emotional abuse he had been exposed to all his life. But, as much as she worked with Taylor, she worked with me to help me understand how he thinks to improve our communication. It didn't happen overnight, but today Taylor is totally rehabilitated and an active and loving part of the local community. Many people refer to him as the Mayor of Long Beach because of all the people and dogs he knows. To this day, he is most excited and happy whenever we bump into Maureen on walks.


I can't imagine how this innocent and loving soul would have lived out his days banished to a leash for the rest of his life. Maureen overcame fantastic odds without flinching and gave Taylor life purpose and joy. If she can do this for him, she can help any other owner challenged with a dog with aggressive behavior.

Amazing Puppy Trainer

If you are looking for a dog trainer, please look no further! Maureen is absolutely amazing. She is currently training my second puppy. She was so great the first time around I knew I needed her again. If you’ve raised a puppy before, you may think you don’t have much to learn however there are so many tips and tricks Maureen is able to provide that you may have forgotten and many things you never even knew.


Maureen Keene has made puppy training so much easier and honestly just more enjoyable as she know what works and what doesn’t. She’s so knowledgeable. You can ask her literally anything and she will have some piece of great advice or solution for you. She goes out of her way after sessions to go over what to work on and what you’ve gone over and is there to answer any questions you have in between. I am so glad I found her and plan to continue our training! If I ever have another puppy, she will again, be my first call.

Knowledgeable Dog Trainer

Maureen is an excellent trainer! When I picked up my puppy at eight weeks old from the breeder, I brought her directly to Maureen on a recommendation. She trained my puppy to potty on grass turf outside, and when I brought my puppy home, she was thoroughly trained. She is also open to giving advice whenever you might have an issue with your puppy, I.e., mouthing, chewing on clothing, shoes, furniture, jumping on guests, etc. If you are looking for a knowledgeable dog trainer, I highly recommend Maureen.

Highly Recommended for Leash Training

Daisy is a Jack Russell/Boxer/Pit Mix. She’s sweet as sugar with people but not so much with dogs she doesn’t know. She also pulled like crazy on the leash and my poor elbows couldn’t take it anymore. Maureen's leash training took  total control and taught Daisy how to walk in public, how to encounter other dogs without freaking out, and how to enjoy the leash. She was gracious in allowing our second dog Luna (Shepherd/Retriever mix) to walk with us, and Luna benefitted too. Maureen accomplished miracles using only positive reinforcement. We couldn’t be happier and recommend Maureen without reservation.

The Dog Behavior Modification Trainer You've Been Looking For

No one will treat your dog better than Maureen while correcting your dog's undesirable behaviors using only positive reinforcement. For example, I've used Maureen to help my dog stop pulling while walking on the leash, to stop jumping on people at the door when they first come in, and to not beg for food while I am eating. Watching her work is magical. She has patience and a way of connecting with dogs I've never seen before. So if you want to help modify your dog's behavior while being treated with love, Maureen is the trainer you've been looking for.
