Testimonials
“Other dog trainers we have worked with seem to follow a training “manual” where “one-size fits all” dogs. To them, seemingly, a dog is a dog is a dog. Their work with our little girl had been sadly and expensively disappointing.
Lana’s past — she’s a rescue — makes her — like all other dogs, for that matter — unique. Mark is the only trainer we have known who got to know and to understand Lana, to develop a relationship with her, and to work with her from that perspective. And it is for that reason that his work with her has been so delightfully and thankfully successful.”
