Testimonials
“We sent our two dogs to Mark for a week-long board and train to improve their leash walking, obedience, and dog reactivity. We saw a huge improvement in their behavior and I can even walk them both at the same time comfortably now! Mark truly cares about your goals and the health and safety of your dogs.”
– Stephanie Pelletier
“Maisy girl is a changed girl! After only 7 days she’s so much easier to be with. She walks easily now, listens to directions and sleeps in her crate all night! Mark uses the E collar and while it may sound scary, he had me hold it in my hand and feel what the dog feels. It’s a buzzing vibration that does not hurt her.”
– Anam Cre
“Mark did amazing with my 10 month old golden doodle. 1 week with him and he was walking off leash perfect listening to commands and just overall extremely well behaved compared to before. Thank you again for being so amazing and for the daily training videos to get an insight on how you trained him.”
