I can help you with anything from tricks to aggression issues!

Mary Torrano, M.A. Physiology & Behavior, Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Family Dog Mediator (FDM) Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP), Predation Substitute Training Certified Instructor (PST-CI), APDT member. I am qualified and certified by several professional training organizations and offer a variety of canine behavior consulting and training programs. I advocate for and use only fear-free, choice-based, trauma-informed, behavior modification and training methods. Teams advance clarity through clear communication and enjoyment in the learning process. Foundational experiences to promote feeling safe, calm & happy is crucial for conditioning positive emotional responses (CER). Teams develop confidence and resilience through a variety of positive experiences. Emphasis during sessions includes observing and understanding body language as a basis for communication. The LEGS model of animal welfare (Learning Environment Genetics Self) used in Family Dog mediation (FDM) is used to understand and support behavior change for the team. Only least Inhibitive functionally effective (LIFE) protocols are employed. I advocate against and do not allow the use of any training methods, techniques, tools, or equipment whose purpose and/or intent is to correct, punish, or suppress behavior using fear, intimidation, force, or pain for my teams. Environmental management, enrichment, and fostering behavioral diversity is the foundation of behavior change. Reinforcing desired behaviors, ignoring unwanted behaviors, managing behaviors you can’t ignore, and teaching behaviors you would like instead, is a clear and simple protocol for learning.

Hello! My name is Maddie, and I am the Owner and Head Trainer here at Woofology LLC. I have extensive experience working with animals since I was a young child. I was always “that kid” that took in strays and animals in need and did the best I could to give them love and care. At the age of 10 years, I entered into the horsemanship arena and competed regionally in equestrian horse shows, and even won a few Championships! I always took horses that had little training–virtual diamonds-in-the-rough and turned them into champions. We didn’t have a lot of money to buy championship ponies, so with a lot of love, effort, and training I made them. I always found myself on the animals that were a little misunderstood—and therefore a little mismanaged, stubborn and somewhere outright dangerous. I stuck with them and we eventually succeeded in giving these animals a chance at doing something important. All my life, I seem to end up meeting those “troubled souls” in need of love, care, and training. When I was in College, I met and married my husband. He is in the Air Force and his work took us halfway across the globe to Okinawa, Japan. There I finished my degree (I wanted to be a high school teacher–I love to teach and make a difference) but I found that my passion and skills were needed to help with the extensive stray problem on the island. I volunteered with the local Animal Rescue group where we managed to save many lives, rehome them and get them stateside. I personally fostered the big dogs—and the ones that had “issues”. It was also in Okinawa where we started our family. After our four-year tour was over, we returned to New Mexico. We faced some personal hardship upon our arrival, a hardship that made me realize life is precious, short and always uncertain. It was at this time that I decided I needed to do what I always wanted to—work with animals as a career. I already had so much experience working with dogs and that “natural” understanding of animal behavior it wa
