Carlos & Marcia Chiarelli with her Jack Russell Barkley

Marcia has starred on Broadway as Sandy in Grease and also as Amy in Circle in the Square’s production of Where’s Charley? in which she won a Theater World award and earned a Drama Desk Award nomination. She also starred as Dee Stewart on the CBS daytime drama As the World Turns.

🐾 Five stars doesn't do them justice🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I cannot recommend K-9 Solutions highly enough! From the moment I met Gina and Carlos, I knew I was dealing with professionals who truly understand and love dogs. Our journey with them has been nothing short of amazing.

I am so happy with my experience with Regina! K-9 solutions has been amazing in helping me train my beautiful puppy! She was knowledge, professional and made this experience enjoyable. Whenever I had a question, she was always available for me and even after the training has offered her time if i need it. While training, she would make me feel so comfortable especially on a Saturday darling morning. She taught me the difference between making the training an experience and not a tedious job. 10/10 experience

I am beyond happy with my experience at K-9 Solutions! Gina worked wonders with my poodle, Lilou — she’s more confident, calm, and responsive than ever. You can truly see Gina’s passion and knowledge in the way she connects with dogs (and owners too!). She made training fun, positive, and completely personalized to Lilou’s temperament and my lifestyle. I finally feel like I understand my dog on a deeper level. I highly recommend Gina and K-9 Solutions to anyone who wants real, lasting results and a happier pup! 🐾💖

5+ stars is not enough! Thank you Gina for your patience and knowledge. Our puppy Louie learned so much! We enjoyed every session. You were consistent and timely each week. We will continue to work with him and remember your words, “practice makes changes”. I highly recommend K-9 solutions!
