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

About the Trainer

Speak-Canine.com is a dog training service led by Mark, a professional trainer with over 10 years of experience helping dog owners in Southern California resolve behavioral issues. Mark offers one-hour in-home or park-based training sessions that focus on clear communication, building trust, and establishing pack order using a balanced approach that combines positive reinforcement with corrective techniques. He works with dogs of all ages, breeds, and aggression levels, including those with leash pulling, reactivity, fearfulness, biting, jumping, and resource guarding. Mark emphasizes educating owners so they can continue training their dogs independently after the session. He provides immediate results by training in real-world environments with distractions, and his methods have helped dogs like reactive Pitbulls, aggressive Huskies, and fearful Mastiffs become calmer and more obedient. He also offers a discounted rate for adult shelter dogs adopted at 1.5 years or older.

Mark uses tools like prong collars for communication but stresses gentle pressure to avoid harm. He does not rely solely on treats and instead teaches owners how to lead with confidence and consistency. His sessions are tailored to each dog’s needs and can include multiple dogs at no extra cost. Training takes place at the client’s home or a local park to simulate real-life challenges.

Clients report dramatic improvements after just one session, including dogs that stopped pulling on leash, ceased lunging at other dogs, and learned to listen to commands without treats. Mark also provides ongoing support and resources through his newsletter, YouTube channel, and About page with past session examples.
