Reviews & Testimonials For Mark Gall

The technique was easy to follow, we noticed Monty was calmer and following commands almost immediately. Using the BAH word has been a game changer. We both felt engaged and the time flew by.

Mark gave me and my dog Cooper great tips and training.An improvements were seen in short time. Excellent program and advise on food choices to grain free making a huge difference.

It was such a relief to see Mark arriving as I had been dealing with a barking problem with Molly since before Christmas and had had neighbour /council complaints. Also in mid December I had fallen and broken my little finger in a number of places and had been in plaster and a splint for five weeks - meaning I couldn't take Molly out for walks either.And she had become really naughty !!! She was absolutely fine with Mark - no big barks or nipping and he proceeded to tell me how I could train her with the aid the Bah word,and claps. No treats as happened at dog obedience !!! Molly has been a different dog both yesterday and today. She is quiet but playful, great on her walks, still very dubious about the big buses and trucks - but not retreating when we watch them from the corner. I felt like crying for joy at the end of the lesson yesterday - she is a changed girl.

Mark had a very relaxed, non-judgemental manner. He explained things well and made the lesson enjoyable and the instruction easy to follow. Our dog responded well to the training and there was a marked improvement after the lesson.We continue to see improvement as we carry out the ' homework' set by Mark.

Could not be more pleased that we found Mark to help us out with Olive! Olive is a 10 month old staffy X rescue puppy with lots of anxiety/insecurity issues, her biggest issue being barking non-stop at visitors. She gets into a stress frenzy, won't stop barking and won't calm down for anyone. She also has a few passive dominance issues. We knew we needed someone to help us as we were starting to feel desperate and didn't know what to do/how to control Olive's behaviour- internet tips and basic trainers were not helping us. The last thing we wanted was for our anxious dog to develop into an aggressive dog, a road we felt she was heading down. Mark works by training people to communicate in dog language and how to use those instinctual responses to get good results. No inhumane methods involved, just practical positive reinforcement training (be good and you'll get praise, methods). One big part of our lesson was teaching me (a big softie) how to be a stronger leader for Olive so that she feels safer and less insecure. Though Olive and I both need lots of practice and training, Mark has given us all the tools we need to succeed. In just 3 hours today I noticed a huge amount of progress, and we all feel really optimistic now that we can resolve Olive's issues. Mark was lovely to work with, practical, hands-on, patient and informative. Mark left us homework, lots of information, some extra bits and bobs to use for training and with the assurance that we can call him anytime we need help or advice. Overall we're very happy with this service, it's worth the price and I'd definitely recommend Mark to anyone struggling with their dog's behavioural issues. Thank you so much :)

Monty responded to Mark's training techniques immediately! His behaviour has changed from constantly demanding play, barking and generally being hyperactive to being a much calmer dog. Monty now comes when we give the "Monty come" command and he has stopped barking at outside noises or passing traffic. He responds positively to the "Bah" sound - such an easy and effective tool to get his attention! Overall Monty now knows he is not "top dog" in the pack and he is a much happier dog. Thanks Mark for showing us the Bark Busters way!!

Mark explained why our problems were happening and how to easily ,calmly address and solve it. They were like different dogs the moment the training started. Easy to follow instructions and techniques , no bribery with food and we regained control so quickly. This bark Busters technique is the only one I've tried that actually worked with our 3 dogs and the whole pack at once. I highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone struggling with their dogs behaviours

I got a lot of value out of the session with Mark from Bark Busters. It was reassuring to know that what I'd been doing so far with River was on the right track and to learn new methods and tricks to combat some specific behavioral issues. His insight into dog behavior and reasoning was enlightening.

Good info on being the pack leader, and behaviour correction/consequences for ignoring us. Good initial results seen, especially with lead pulling. Barking at somebody knocking on the door may still take some time. Mark was great, very approachable and we feel welcome to message/email him with any questions, and for further advice on any problems we might have. Good start with Barney, we saw results on the first day, which encourages us to keep working hard with him.

Really great, thanks Mark. We got a response straight away from Charlie, she was happy to sit outside and not bark and walked really well in the lead. I’ve got a bit of work to do to make sure she keeps it up now. Would definitely recommend.

Mark was great and very easy to learn from and talk to. Both my partner and I attempted completing various exercises with our Husky and with Marks guidance we achieved great results in our first session. We would both highly recommend Mark for an South Island based dog owners who are seeking help in relation to any concerns. Mark was able to finish our training session and leave us feeling happy moving forward with our weeks full of training and some new gear!

Very productive first session, saw huge results in the first few tips Mark gave is which we added to through out the session. Mark showed his knowledge of handling dogs with very different temperaments in the sense that we have a very hypo colly huntaway x and a very mellow huntaway. Mark explained how we should use slightly different voice tones to achieve results with them. All his explanations were thorough but not to technical so it was easy to take in and understand. The training tools provided were easy to use and used thoroughly throughout the training session
