Testimonials
“We worked with Mark and within the first couple minutes, Bruno was listening to us and actually stopped pulling!”
– Stephania
“For 9 years, Biscuit lunged towards other dogs on walks but Mark taught me how to work Biscuit correctly instead of bargaining with Biscuit using treats. After only one session, Biscuit is less reactive on walks and listens to my commands… Mark also trained ME on how to be a better dog owner to help reinforce Biscuit’s good behavior.”
– Michelle
“Mark’s expertise and his ability to effectively address Bodhi’s issues have made him an perfect resource for us. He is a completely different dog after one week! If you’re searching for a dog trainer who can actually make a difference in your dog’s behavior, I highly recommend him.”
– Jaymie
