Reviews & Testimonials For Mark Gall

After 3 hours of Mark being with us we had a very calm, relaxed dog. I think George has had one eye open since the day he was born. It was wonderful to see him relaxed. He is enjoying his training and responding so well. Thank you 😊

It was expensive for me on a budget but worth every cent. I can now walk my wee girl as if she hasn't got a lead on. The training was very easy to follow and put into practice. A full folder of instructions and notes were left with me to refer to as I chose to do the one off lesson only. I feel as if I am the boss and not her! Mark also had a great way with dogs! I would love to do what he does and may even look into it in a couple of years!

We feel like we have a new dog! Just having Mark around once has been a huge help! Tommy no longer pulls on the lead and walks next to us, he listens to us better, no longer barking at people walking past. So stoked we went ahead with this training, we learnt a lot!

Our training session with Mark was fantastic. I learnt so much about my dogs personality type, strategies to help us work with our puppy, and the ins and outs of creating the best environment for him. I am so grateful for these new strategies to enjoy my puppy and help him to be his best puppy self.

Mark was great! We appreciated his approach and how he explained the techniques and gave us an insight on the breed of the dog to help us better understand why he does certain things. We have seen a significant change in our dog from our session with Mark. Highly recommend!

Probably an 80% improvement in his behaviour in the first lesson .A dog with a very strong temperament and needs constant reminders. Very pleased all round with Marks training and advice. We need to keep going to harness the final 20%. Thanks Kelvin

As expected, Mark was very informative, specific to my queries and incredibly helpful. I’m looking forward to learning a lot from Mark Please note this was a preemptive meeting to discuss preparing for my new puppies arrival. So pup wasn’t in attendance (hence the answers below reflect this)

It has been a bit of a journey with our active Pippi. But Mark was always there to answer questions and especially motivate us to keep going with the training, using patience, consistency, persistence, and repetition. And all that work is now paying out. We now have a well-mannered young dog to go on lots of adventures with us. Thanks a lot!

Simply put- amazing in every way! Mark listened to my concerns and went through everything in a methodical manner which was easy to understand. His advice was valuable. I’m now understanding dog speak! It’s definitely a work in progress but I’m sure we’ll get there.

Immediate Results!!! Molly & Dre are two very energetic boxers aged 4 & 2.5 respectively. We'd been having trouble with communication/control of them when they get into a hyperactive state (which was a lot!) in various situations such as when we get visitors, when they see people walk past the property, out on walks, in public settings etc - and we really needed to figure out how to break this behaviour which was getting gradually more difficult over time. When Mark arrived, he was immediately able to gauge the personality/needs of both dogs just from initial behaviours and was able to diagnose the best starting point for us to try tackle the multiple issues we were having with very simple and clear leadership and communication strategies. The thing my wife and I were most worried about with looking into dog-training was fear of being judged, but Mark's approach was the complete opposite of this, he was able to articulate to us how the dogs get to this level of anxiety/hyperactivity and how we can best manage it via communication-based training (rather than food-motivated training or physical-based punishment or reward). This was exactly how we want to be able to manage our dogs behaviour - by tackling these problems at their source. As the session went on, we were able to address each area of concern we had one step at a time, and just having the dogs' focus on us and our leadership for this amount of time was so amazing for us - we couldn't believe the transformation happening before our eyes! When Mark introduced the included barkbusters equipment (such as leads, collars, and harness options) we were further amazed by how much having the right equipment can help with training. When practicing lead walking there was no pulling, no overexcitement, and most importantly no anxiety from the dogs feeling like they need to be aware of everything happening around them (distraction was always one of the biggest issues for us). We'll be booking a follow up appointment with Mark in a few weeks' time to start building out the walking practice to situations with a bit more stimuli, so are really looking forward to the next steps. But 4 days on post-appointment, we couldn't be more impressed! The dogs seem so much happier and as a result so are we! We really highly recommend this trainer to anyone facing any type of issue with their dogs - with Mark there seems to be a solution for any problem, no matter how big or small! Thanks Mark! :)

I am very happy with all the advice and training that Mark gave me. Lily is already walking beside me while on the leash. I would certainly recommend him for anyone needing dog training. .

We had a great session with Mark and we were really impressed with the change in Ernie's behaviour after just one lesson. Our wee guy is headstrong and is definitely a work in progress so we are so grateful that we have Mark's ongoing support.
