Mark got results from both Jack and us straight away. We were so amazed that Jack responded so quickly. Mark was great to deal with, he explained everything clearly, gave us a plan to move forward and stop having Jack rule his humans. To see results so quickly from Marks methods gave us great peace of mind.
Trainer note from Mark
Lovely wee MR "Jack" Russell, separation anxiety issue, neighbour works nights, last chance with council . Very stressed dog when owners are not home. It took a little for the male owner to get his head around the dog rules process, definitely not the owners nature to create structure and rules but did an awesome job and saw the results of that very quickly. Credit to them for working well and hard to solve a difficult problem.

Bert becomes very anxious with people in general and barks continually at them from a distance. He will not let anyone approach him. At the beach he will circle people and bark at them which can be quite scary for these people minding there own business. He is scared of small children and their bikes. When visitors arrive Bert barks incessantly. Mark's training has been excellent and we now have a routine for these occasions. We have a much better understanding of how Bert sees things and why he behaves the way he does. Mark has shown us how to get control back and help Bert be less anxious.
Trainer note from Mark
Bert was possibly the most nervous dog I've seen for years but with careful application of the right amount of focus work and affection he's managed to become a quite relaxed dog in many of his daily situations. Unusual for a Labrador to be anxious of life. Fantastic effort and work by the owners has seen Bert start to enjoy life a bit more. Thanks for the commitment

Paddy and I had a great time learning with Mark. Paddy responded well to the techniques and I was suprised how calm he became. I'm excited to try out my new skills :)
Trainer note from Mark
Paddy is a typical 6mth old over exuberant Labrador. Lives on a Dairy farm . but hasn't a herding bone in his body. Lovely dog too full of beans. Both the owner and Paddy worked well ,took in the exercises and Paddy showed the results with a huge improvement in focus after just a couple of hours . Great job Paddy boy and owner.

We are thrilled with the improvement in our anxious dog's behaviour. Mark was easy to talk to and explained well the changes we needed to make to reduce the anxiety levels of our young springer spaniel. I am now able to take Becca on long walks without any lead pulling, and she is no longer barking aggressively at people coming to our front door. We still have a little way to go, but are confident we will have a happy dog in the end.
Trainer note from Mark
Becca was a timid and therefore aggressive barker and snapper at the door. We had to correct the barking right at the door because we couldn't hear each other before we could even sit down to talk. She responded well ,a little head strong at first but with guidance the owners got brilliant results by about half way through the lesson. Great work awesome effort.

Mark was professional and definitely helped Louis in the immediate time frame although we still have problems with his barking. Very cool to have Mark come back and help again a few months later. We are still trying hard with his guidelines and it is nice to know we can call on him again if we need to.
Trainer note from Mark
Quite challenging 2 dogs and house hold as there are several flat mates and a business work from home , a busy house. Busy dogs and not too much structure till now. The barking is at doors etc and anxiety on walks. They start to respond well in lesson situation but like all training consistency will help. Much better than they were and with a bit more persistent application they'll be even better, Great work guys, keep it up.

Very helpful session. I could see changes in Isa's behaviour by the end of the session, and now have some useful tools to continue with her training. I look forward to continuing to work with Mark on Isa's ongoing issues.

Great Training. Definitely knows his stuff. Could see changes by the end of the lesson, will keep up with all the training!
Trainer note from Mark
Two beautiful Rottweillers, but the girl has fear aggressive issues with other dogs and animals , unfortunately an atrocious rainy day for weather but still managed to get through a lot of training, and the owner and dogs did very well. We'll need to come back and do more work with other dogs especially but Max's response to the horses was very encouraging , usually she's lunging and trying to get too them. Most positive lesson ,excellent work by the owner.

Very interesting. We got an insight into how our dogs think. I can't believe how much the stress melted away as I was able to walk each dog calmly, just strolling along and stopping when I wanted to!!
Trainer note from Mark
Great work by the owners of two ,not been told off before Jack Russells. Both the family and the dogs did an awesome job of taking on board simple but effective training techniques with out too much fuss. The dogs at first found focussing hard but did improve greatly as the lesson went on.

Life changing! I feel more confident and calmer as Boomer responds and I have options if he doesn't immediately respond with more complete commands.
Rather than rushing to exercise him when I get home, to tire him out, we now work to a time table that works better for me, because he is calmer and happier already.
We have a much happier relationship as owner and dog.
Trainer note from Mark
Brilliant work, well done and Boomer I'm sure appreciates the routine and pack structure.
