Herts Canine

Have been taking our pup, now almost 8 months old since he was about 12 weeks. Firstly to the puppy classes, then level one and two recall workshops. Mark, Charlotte and Dave are great, giving valuable advice, support and encouragement whilst making the classes fun. We’re now continuing with obedience classes. These guys really know their stuff and how to get results, and with a stubborn breed, their knowledge has been invaluable. Thank you Mark, Charlotte and Dave x

I took Mason our rescue Rottie to Mark to get some help with his lead walking and lack of focus. Mark was brilliant. Listened to Mason’s background. Assessed how he walked with me then showed me where I needed to correct. We could see the difference in 5 mins. So grateful and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Mark!

Thoroughly recommend both group classes and one to one sessions. Love that the obedience classes are pay as you go so no pressure if you need to miss one. Mark has given me loads of confidence with my dog and we are making great progress. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We have just finished a 4 week recall workshop which has been brilliant for teaching me and my dog how to train reliable recall. Group walks are a great free addition to the programme for socialisation (for dogs and owners!).

We attended a great PAYG puppy training class. Fantastic to not have to commit to a course / be on a waiting list. The first class gave us the confidence to train recall off lead!They also offer puppy parties on Tuesdays free of charge, with pups up to 5 months can socialise in a room. This was a bit overwhelming for our pup, but a great initiative.We'll be back for puppy training next week :)

Mark is very experienced and knowledgeable. Through hydrotherapy, he helped our 10 year old Boxer x Olde English Bulldogge regain muscle lost due to medication for his brain tumour. He really cares about his canine customers and gives them a thorough physical checkup before putting them in the pool. The level of exercise is built up slowly and tailored to the Dog's age, fitness and ability. We would definitely recommend him to anyone considering hydrotherapy for their Dog

Absolutely fantastic! Had a 4 week loose lead training course and couldn’t believe the difference in Murphy since the beginning! From pulling on the lead every walk to now walking gently beside me, barely feeling him on the lead at all! Highly recommend to all in need of well behaved pooches on leads.

I have worked with Mark and each member of his team in various capacities. 1:1 training for behavioural issues, puppy class and recall training.I have nothing but positive things to say about each of these experiences and everyone at Herts Canine.The puppy classes were amazing and gave such a good foundation for commands and behaviour.The recall training has completely changed how my dog walks on and off the lead making it a pleasant experience and not a stressful one.Marks personal 1:1 sessions have done nothing short of saved my relationship with my dog. Mark has supported us through puppy food aggression and anxious behaviours that arose with the birth of our child.I am eternally grateful for their straight forward, easy and effective support.Thank you endlessly and sincerely.

Cannot recommend Mark and his team enough. We have been training our Labrador since she was 12 months old and recently completed the 4 week loose lead workshop. It's a miracle workshop! Our Labrador now walks by our side and no longer takes us for a walk anymore :) Highly recommend!

Poppy our labrador has been training with Herts Canine since she was 12weeks old. Mark and his team are so helpful and knowledgeable there’s never a silly question to ask and Mark will always try and help with answers or suggestions suitable to your dog and your situation/life style.Lessons have been great fun (puppy parties) and engaging and interactive. Marks watches, observes and gives you tips and advice to help. The workshops are fantastic! After just one workshop lesson loose lead training, she has been walking like a completely different dog and that just down to great advice and techniques. Highly recommended, best you could want for your dog and their development and nurturing.

I simply cannot recommend Mark highly enough. He has delivered a few 1:1 training sessions with our Cockapoo (now 18 months) to work on a range of behaviours. The difference since working with Mark is incredible and has been noticed by friends and family too. We now have a calmer, happier boy who we are able to better understand. We’re looking forward to starting classes soon to carry on building on the progress we’ve made.
