Testimonials
“Mark has trained all of my dogs and countless others I have recommended to On Command K9 Academy. He has worked with my dogs on specific issues, obedience, and protection. Whatever your dog’s needs, Mark can teach it or correct it. He is amazing both as a trainer of dogs and owners. I know you will be totally satisfied with On Command K9 Academy!”
-Nancy Taaca
“When Chance, an abused and very aggressive Cocker Spaniel came to the shelter I ran I knew I had to do two things. The first was adopt him and the second was to call Mark, our dog trainer that Sun Coast Humane Society recommended for behavior modification. Marks quiet, gentle approach yielded great results within two weeks and the in-home follow up training really helped me guide and understand him. I highly recommend Mark Jacobs and On Command K9 Academy to anyone with dog behavior issues.”
-Debbie Parsons-Drake, Senior Director Animal Housing, United States Humane Society
“My puppy is delightful and easier to control since Mark worked with her–and with me! He is very patient but also firm with his training. He is very knowledgeable and no nonsense. He was quick to respond when we had questions during the training. It is difficult to release your new puppy to someone, but he is solid and knows how to teach with patience and with good explanations for what he is doing.”
