Awesome experience with Mark. We were amazed to see the instant change in our dogs behavior with the techniques Mark taught us. Very effective and simple owner/dog training to establish dominance and control. Thanks Mark!

Absolutely thrilled with the instructions and lesson given. Mark has educated me on how Cruz thinks and how to give and teach the Cruz that I am the leader of the pack - not him. Instantly I saw results with Cruz and it is now up to me to keep up the pack rules. Could not have asked for a better person than Mark to impart his knowledge. I felt it was money well spent and only wished I had contacted Mark earlier. Yesterday I wondered if I still had Cruz as he was so quiet. When he did bark the once I just BAH'd him and he came running to me. What a change from the constant barking and he was letting me go through doors first. I thought he might have forgotten the information from the day before.

I would like to thank Mark for the tips he gave us for training our wee man, Braxx. He no longer pushes thru the door 1st, in fact he waits for me to go thru. As for walking on the lead, there is no more pulling ahead. He looks at me continuously to see that he is not getting ahead. We still have some work to do on the answering the door, but I am confident he will rise to the occasion. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who has or is thinking of getting a dog.

Mark was absolutely wonderful to work with. Karma is a naturally anxious dog, and she responded extremely well to Mark's techniques and training. He clearly explained what we needed to do to help Karma settle and become more relaxed by establishing ourselves as the leader, rather than her. She had become a lot more protective since we became pregnant, so it was essential that we supported her in re-establishing her place in our family. Mark helped us with her barking, behaviour towards strangers, and work on the lead. We are absolutely thrilled with the improvements she has made so far, and are extremely appreciative of Mark's ongoing contact to see how we are getting on. A+ service!!!

Great visit from Mark. Mark went through the theory and then the practical training, involving the whole family not only at the house but at the park too. It was a great learning session. Amazing change with only a few subtle techniques. A lot to remember but the training was done in a fun way with no stress. Thanks.

Awesome! very informative. Lots of improvement with walking on the lead and walking through doors. Zev definitely doesnt push ahead as much.
the idea of scatter feeding has really been great as it entertains him for a lot longer.
Trainer note from Mark
Very cool little dude dog,A wee husky pup is not your average or the easiest of breed to train but with patience and understanding they turn out fine. Lots of focus and recall work. I've had 3 of them and all were fun to loving.

Trainer note from Mark
Recent lesson in dairy cow country, Culverden, Nth Canterbury, little Zoe, huntaway x heading dog, didn't realise that the cows were supposed to be herded not scattered at pace randomly as her heart felt the need to fire up the fun. She responded awesomely but still work to go.

We must admit we were sceptical of the Ads and testimonials that say you'll see improvements within hours, but it was so true - can't thank you enough. She is like a different dog and a pleasure to take out. She loves all the programming. And we found the training with Mark fascinating. He used lots of examples which helped us understand quickly the logic behind the training.

THE TRAINING WAS REALLY GREAT, WITH VERY POSITIVE RESULTS. THERE WAS ENOUGH REINFORCEMENT FOR ME TO REMEMBER WHAT TO DO. BENTLEY HAS NOT RESPONDED SO BADLY TO GUNSHOTS, ALTHOUGH IT IS ONLY A FEW DAYS ON AND WE HAVE NOT DONE OUR OWN CONDITIONING YET AS REGARDS THAT. WALKS ARE NOW VERY RELAXING. THANKS A BUNCH MARK.
Trainer note from Mark
Bentley is a Golden retriever who is not keen on load gun shots, to the point of trying to chew his way out of the house. Keen to learn just needed guidance. It may take a while to work through his anxiety completely but good leadership and plenty of praise will get it done. Such a cool dog and such a lovely country setting.Thanks for the chance to help you all through.

My dog has the attention span of a goldfish, thinks she is in charge and doesn't pay attention to me unless she wants to so on her leash she pulls everywhere and when off the leash she runs away and doesn't come back. During the first training session I was given tips on how to regain her attention and work my way back into the dominant role and have tips on how to keep her on a long leash but still work on getting her to follow me and come back. I was seeing progress during that first session which is a great feeling.
Trainer note from Mark
Skip is an extremely full on heading dog, energy to burn and a very clever brain but no focus what so ever. Have now done two sessions with Skip and things are improving. Lovely nature just not enough early puppy training. Skip will turn out fine eventually but lots of patience and practice and praise. Well done to the owners input.
