Lesson 1 was a great learning curve for both Brent and myself but Mark made us feel at ease and confident we can continue with Django's and our own training. A day after lesson 1and Django is much more calmer and willing to listen to our instructions and we are mastering the BAH and praise.
Trainer note from Mark
Django is a 4mth Shihtzu X Maltese. Young and fun but in need of education, Challenges include getting voice controls good as Hubby is in a wheel chair and usual body language isn't there to utilise and make communication clearer. Great work by the owners and Django is responding already, Looking forward to the next session.

Mark was fantastic! We enjoyed the lesson thoroughly. There were alot of helpful tips and hints for getting our dog to listen and focus on us. Mark has a great way of explaining why our dog was doing the things she was and made us feel comfortable with all the activities we did.
Trainer note from Mark
Awesome young couple trying to deal with a dog who's had 5 owners in 2 years. They've already made a difference in this dogs life prior to Bark Busters. But more was needed. The house hold has 5 adults in it and consistency is key but also focus of the dog , Great effort and great focus Taz girl.

I was amazed with the speed the techniques helped me get my unruly, unfocussed dog under control. We need some more work on his behaviour outside the home, but he has markedly improved inside and does what I ask without throwing a tantrum or running away!
Trainer note from Mark
Great wee dog and committed owner, Pippin was manic at the front door and would nip at legs and feet. Quite a strong temperament but needed some speaking dog to. Very strong on lead . Responded with the commitment and work will be a great dog. Brilliant effort by both.

Mark amazed us with his knowledge and ability to teach us how to work with our dog and to get our dog to listen. Mark was very patient and flexible with us and a house full of children.

A rehome dog for this family who have settled in beautiful St Leonards area of Dunedin. Large property and a dog not used to staying around. Great work by the family to take on board how Buddy thinks and apply the skills to there unique environment and busy household. a revisit will be on the cards to work more past the basics.

I couldn't believe how quickly our dogs behaviour could be turned around in a few simple steps. We are still waiting for the bad behaviour to return so we can use the instructions given but she is so much more submissive already. Should have done this sooner.
Trainer note from Mark
Great effort by the owner to put in place the techniques shown in an environment with lots of distractions, 10 acre lifestyle block.

We found the session with Mark to be excellent (and as cheesy as an info-commercial as this may sound) there were instant results with our dog. His manner and approach was outstanding and really worked with the three of us - myself, my wife and our dog, to achieve the desired results we discussed.
Trainer note from Mark
Rem is a cracker dog under all the bravado and bark. Barked at door, ran length of park to see other people, pulled on the lead. All credit to the owners for listening and applying the techniques discussed and putting it into practice. Great effort all round.

Mark Gall is an excellent trainer - in the 3 hour lesson he had Spike walking beside us and listening to our commands. He was extremely patient and gave us a clear understanding on how a dog thinks and behaves. Having the gold membership also means that Mark will be returning to do some more training which is so helpful!
Trainer note from Mark
Spike is a rehome SPCA special. 3 homes in 15 mths and the previous owners haven't done any dog education . He's a lovely gentle giant but 45kg(if not more) and 4x4 Mastif x Staffy pulling machine ,jumping the fence, recall hopeless ,jumps up. Really awesome effort by the owner in her more mature years and the neighbour who does most of the walking. A work in progress but now a plan to follow. I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements in a couple of weeks.

Mark had Tilly eating out of the palm of his hand as soon as he arrived. He was patient, fantastic at explaining the techniques and why we needed to use them and really took a lot of time to make sure we knew what we were doing.
Mark was so friendly and approachable and made us feel really good about the training ahead. He was really personable and calm which made us feel calm about the whole process too.
He made sure we felt comfortable about contacting him again if we needed him and nothing was a problem for him.
The training was hands on (not just him showing us). Tilly was a new dog within an hour!
So happy we got Mark in to help us...now we just need to put the plan into action.
Trainer note from Mark
Tilly is very head strong Border terrier. I saw her many years ago but since then a whole world of changes. Earthquakes, new house , new babies, new lifestyle. They got the lifetime support guarantee way back then. Tilly was a barker, dog agro, grumpy at kids The owners are committed and I'm sure Tilly will respond to the program of focus work well. Fantastic effort guys.

Very pleasant guy ,gave us good information to continue with saw a change within the first half hour, very helpful. We will definitely continue with this .
We didn't think we could do anything to change things but Chloe has really improved, we still have a long way to go but you need to start somewhere and we are very happy with what Chloe has done so far. Thank you so much

Trainer note from Mark
One of the most frantic and persistent barkers for attention, separation, at door. Constant attention whines and worked up to barks, jumping ,begging.. Tough love on the owners but the results are speaking for themselves, learning not to give in to everything isn't easy for the owners and it'll be a work in progress but there work so far has been fantastic. Applying the simple process to get awesome results.

It was great to have Mark explain the rectify the issues and problems we had with our two dogs, using simple and effective techniques. After the 3 hours of work we noticed a big change in Jessie, she had calmed and was more obedient. We still have work to do but was good to see how to effectively communicate with them to get the desired results. Thanks heaps and would totally recommend this service.
