I first went to Mark as I was really struggling with my lead-reactive Staffie. I'd seen other trainers and tried solely positive reinforcement but it just wasn't working. Mark was brilliant- very approachable, really took the time to understand my concerns and the dog's behaviour.Now, not only does she not react to other dogs, but she walks to heel like a dream and her recall is so good I finally have the confidence to let her off the lead too which makes walks so much more enjoyable. When I first saw Mark I was almost in tears walking my dog and now it's a pleasure. Thank you Mark!!

Very good sensible training. My Rottie (Freya) enjoyed the sessions and continues to develop into a well rounded calm dog. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to any dog owner who needs a bit of help.

Took our Jack Russell for some training & after just 2 sessions, he is transformed into a well-behaved little dog, so a big thank you, Mark!

My training with Mark has been invaluable and absolutely life changing for both me and my 9 month old Husky. My dog became unmanageable for me when he hit puberty and I was scared to walk him. He was reactive to dogs, traffic and sometimes people too. He had never been let off the lead and he would lunge and growl like mad at anything that set him off. Today I’ve walked him and he’s ran free off lead, walked brilliantly to heel while on lead and off lead, and even mixed with other dogs with no problems. I never thought any of this could ever be possible and I now have a different dog who has a far better quality of life. All of this after only 3 sessions with Mark. Mark really is a dog wizard and I’m so grateful for his support!

Required some training for obedience & recall. My 9 month old would get too excited and used to pull and jump up at anyone walking past us. We required two leads, just to be able to keep some sort of control. We wanted to be able to have happy walks and be able to let him off lead to have fun, but know that he would come back to us when called.Mark was able to have my boy walking to heal within 10 minutes of meeting him, and was very helpful in making us as a family to understand the ways to work with our furry family member. We can now go for long walks around the park to which he walks off lead, with him coming back to us when called.I highly recommend Mark to assist with any training requirements.

Mark is amazing and really a dog wizard! Our two frenchies have behaviours problems and aggressive towards each other. After a few lessons with Mark, he taught us from the basics starting from how to heel walk them, recall, social to other dogs, in order to build our leadership and be a pack leader! Following the techniques and skills, 6 months later, the dogs can finally stay in the same room together! They can barely look at each other before! Really recommended Mark!

Mark was brilliant. He couldn't help with my dogs reactivity much but was very upfront about this which I really appreciated (and much more than the vast majority of trainers). What he did allow me to do though was to be finally be able to confidently recall my dog which has meant he can get proper exercise and even if other dogs are around, I can call him back and he will come back 100% of the time. Thanks Mark, Phin and I are much happier because of your training!

Our Labrador had started life in a very rural area with barely any cars, people walking past or street lights. When we moved to the area he was afraid and anxious of everything which led to lead anxiety and extreme pulling often resulting in break leads and escaping. We were at our wits end with the poor lad and ended up having to nervously walk him on remote lanes where we could be sure that nobody was walking. After 3 sessions with Mark, we now have a different dog! Our dog still pulls slightly on lead as he is an extremely excitable and curious lab but no longer jumps at cars, people or cyclists. More important for us is that we learnt to trust our dog off lead and improve his recall significantly. We can now finally get out and about to places we would never have dreamt of before without the fear of losing him and more importantly keeping our sanity intact! Thanks Mark!

We have an 8 month old golden retriever puppy who was getting too excited on walks causing him to jump and bite. Mark came in and after one 2 hour session we had the right tools and advice to work with him. The difference is amazing and has changed our lives, we can finally enjoy our dog walks. Mark came for another session to brush up and work on recall. We now have the most well behaved dog. I can't recommended him enough. Thanks Mark for all your help!

Wanted some training for obedience & reliable recall and controlling his excited lunging at other dogs so he could be let off the lead with confidence for him to come back and listen. I've spent hundreds with other trainers along with a lot of time to see no results.Mark had the tools and knowledge to get this sorted and we now go on much longer walks each evening with virtually no pulling on the lead and probably about 80% of the time with him off the lead.Highly recommended!
