About Marlie's Misfits, LLC
Marlena (a.k.a. Marlie)
Hi there,
I’m Marlena, aka “Marlie”, and I’m beyond ecstatic to be pursuing my lifelong dream of working with dogs! For the past 10 years, I have been dedicated to a career in the dental field. I thoroughly enjoyed helping people achieve the healthy and confident smiles of their dreams! While I’ve loved making a difference in people’s lives, my true passion has always been working with animals—especially dogs.
After years of dreaming about it, I decided to take the leap and turn my love for dogs into a career. Now, I’m transitioning into the world of dog training, combining my patience, dedication, and care to help dogs and their owners build strong, loving relationships.
I believe every dog deserves to thrive, and I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and rewarding environment for training. Whether it’s basic obedience, behavior improvement, or strengthening the bond between dogs and their humans, I’m here to help.
This journey is just beginning, and I’m so excited to share it with you! Let’s work together to bring out the best in your furry friend.
Contact me today to learn more about my services or to schedule a session!
What is a Misfit?
A "misfit" typically refers to a dog that doesn't quite conform to typical expectations or societal norms for what a "good" or "ideal" dog should be like.
These dogs may have behavioral traits that are considered less desirable in conventional dog culture, such as being overly shy, anxious, hyperactive, or even misbehaving in public.
Sometimes "misfits" are described as dogs that come from difficult backgrounds, such as those who were abandoned, mistreated, or had a rough start in life. They may face challenges that other dogs don't, like fear and trust issues, but they have resilience and can thrive with the right care and training.
Overall, a "misfit" is a term that celebrates individuality and uniqueness, acknowledging that every dog, no matter their quirks, deserves love and acceptance.
