At-Home Dog Trainer Christchurch & Canterbury
Stop Struggling With Your Dog - See Real Changes in Hours, Not Weeks
Hi, I'm Mark Gall, Grand Master Dog Trainer and Behavioural Therapist servicing Christchurch and Canterbury.
Your dog isn't trying to be difficult. They're just speaking a language you don't understand yet.
For over 25 years, I’ve helped thousands of families reconnect with their dogs and restore peace in their homes through proven dog training methods - and I’m proud to be rated 4.9 stars by more than 500 local families who’ve seen real, lasting results.
The problem isn’t your dog - it’s the communication gap between you and your dog.
I Understand Because I’ve Been There Too
I’m not just a dog trainer who reads from a textbook. Over 25 years ago, my life needed a change. My young family was growing, my business was stealing all my time, and when Bark Busters New Zealand expanded to Christchurch, I took the leap.
Having always lived with dogs, dog training seemed natural. But what really changed everything? I had a pushy Husky who local trainers couldn’t help. I felt that frustration - loving your dog yet feeling helpless. That’s what motivated me to become a trainer myself. So, when you come to me struggling, I get it. I’ve been in your shoes.
You're Speaking the Wrong Language
You’ve probably tried everything - online videos, treat-based methods, group classes - but nothing sticks.
Why? Because dogs don’t speak human. They communicate through body language and tone, not bribes. When you’re not speaking their language, they can’t understand you.
I’ve seen talented dogs labelled “untrainable” and nervous puppies become anxious adults. These aren’t broken dogs - they’re dogs whose owners simply need the right dog training guidance. That’s where I come in.
Why Home Dog Training Works Better
That’s why I come to you. Most behaviour issues start at home - where your dog feels most comfortable and where the problems actually happen. With home dog training, you’ll see results fast - often within hours, not weeks or months.
I work with all breeds, all ages, all challenges - even those other dog trainers won’t touch, including:
- Puppy training and management
- Barking and excessive noise
- Separation anxiety and fear
- Aggression and reactivity
- Pulling on the lead and recall issues
- Jumping and over-exuberance
- Sibling rivalry and multi-dog issues
- General obedience and beyond
Why I'm a Grand Master Dog Trainer
As a Bark Busters Grand Master Dog Behavioural Therapist - a title awarded only to the most experienced and committed trainers - I’ve studied canine behaviour for over 34 years through our global network.
But what really matters? I teach you how to teach your dog, simply and effectively, right in your own home.
What this means for you:
- 25+ years of hands-on experience with thousands of families
- Access to proven methods tested across 6 countries
- Grand Master level expertise
- Proven track record: over 1 million dogs trained globally and 4.9 star rating personally from over 500 reviews

Every lesson teaches me something new. When you learn to speak dog, something magical happens. The anxious dog becomes confident. The pushy dog becomes calm. Your whole family relaxes.
