Your dog’s behavior isn’t a mystery—it’s a mix of 3 Core + 7 Key psychological sliders.

Most dog training focuses on obedience.
We focus on why your dog behaves the way they do—and how to change it from the inside out.

This isn’t a personality quiz.
This is a behavioral mapping system grounded in psychology, resilience theory, emotional regulation research, and real-world training experience.

The MariDog Method identifies your dog’s:
• Core Drivers – the deep stuff that shapes 80% of behavior
• Relational Channels – how your dog connects, communicates, and responds to you
• Modulators – the fine-tuning traits that make your dog them

Once you’ve got the map, training stops being random.
You’ll know what to target, what to ignore, and what to build.

🔥 Ready to decode your dog’s emotional operating system?
👉 Tap the link in bio to take the Training Type Test (T3)
🎯 Insight-driven. Science-backed. Dog-respecting.

🍪 vs ⚡
Why is this debate still happening?
The science is clear. The fallout is real. And yet—we’re still arguing about which tool is better, instead of asking:
What’s actually happening inside your dog’s brain?
Here’s the truth most trainers won’t say out loud:
➡️ Positive reinforcement won’t work if your dog is in shutdown.
➡️ Corrections won’t teach if your dog is panicking.
➡️ And no method will stick if the nervous system isn’t regulated.
At MariDog, we don’t train tools.
We train brains.
The uses temperament, disposition, and nervous system insight to build training plans that actually fit your dog.
📊 Start with the T3: The Training Type Test.
It’s not a gimmick—it’s your dog’s behavioral blueprint.

Not all barking is created equal.
Not all pulling. Not all whining.
Same behavior ≠ same solution.

Traditional dog training skips the part where we ask:
“WHY is your dog doing that?” The TRAINING TYPE TEST gives you the answer your need. Most dog training focuses on fixing what your dog does.
But lasting change starts when you understand who your dog is.

That’s what Temperament tells us.
It’s your dog’s emotional blueprint — the way they were built to move through the world.

When you train with their nature (not against it),
you don’t just get behavior change.
You get connection. Confidence. Peace.

Swipe through to meet the 4 core Temperaments and discover how they shape your dog’s behavior — and your training plan.

Tell me which Temperament you think your dog is — I’d love to hear.

Does your dog need a coat? Potato sure does!! its 20F out and she's bundled in a fleece under her Barbour-style insulated coat and she's wearing her favorite argyle snood. If your dog isn't a cold weather dog who is acclimated to the freezing weather, they'd probably appreciate some protection from winter's bite!

Your dog experiences the world primarily with their nose, so when you think of enrichment activities, try ones that use scent games
