your trainer

Hey, I’m Marissa, the human behind Proof & Purpose Dog Training.
I grew up around farm animals & working dogs, so I’ve always been wired to read behavior, body language, and what’s really going on under the surface. Everyone thought I’d become a vet because of how connected I am with animals but I chose the behavioral route instead.
I’ve worked with horses, hunting & sport dogs, service/task dogs, and I built my name doing aggression & reactivity rehab. Whether you need solid obedience foundations or help navigating big behavior, I’m here for real-life results, clear coaching, consistent fundamentals, and zero fluff.


My Approach

Clear communication, solid foundations, and real-world proofing. We start with the building blocks for a strong foundation catered for your individual dog. Clean, consistent cues and follow-through. Then we proof it where life actually happens. You’ll leave every session with a plan, doable homework, and the confidence & education to keep momentum between lessons.
