    Mark was amazing from the absolute beginning! Mark listened to my concerns and the praise that I had for my dogs. He made a plan and emphasized training in the area that we needed in our house. He sent me multiple videos and updates throughout training and answered my questions about the sessions. Mark reassured me that he would walk me through everything and he did.I wasn’t able to walk both of my dogs together before training, but now I can walk them both together off leash! Many of the behavior concerns that I brought to Mark have been addressed and we have seen amazing results. Now, I just have to apply the training to our house.I highly recommend DognPooch and Mark. What a wonderful experience!

    We have a new dog with controlled behavior now, thanks to Mark’s skills! Our 7 month old German Shepard was totally out of control and wouldn’t mind a thing! Biting, jumping, difficult to walk…you name it and a Mark fixed it! We are so grateful to have our dog be a polite & obedient member of the family!

    Wow!! Mark is Awesome and does Amazing work!! Not going to lie, I was hesitant and read all reviews, he sent tons of videos to show his work! Took me a year to decide and when I was at my wits end, I reached out! My husband wanted to make a bet with me that Mark would be calling in 2 days for me to come pick up my dog…. Needless to say that didn’t happen and my dog came back a changed man!! Mark sent me so many videos throughout the week and the progress was amazing!! Went through a quick training session at pickup so we can continue to follow through!! So happy we can walk the park without my dog walking me and freaking out at every dog along the way!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Keep doing what your doing!! 🐕

    Okay y’all- I’ll start by saying I NEVER write reviews, but Mark’s exceptional service warrants as many stars as I can give! 5star+. If you’re considering bringing your dog to Mark for training, do not hesitate! We brought our 6 month old puppy Duke to Mark because we were feeling overwhelmed with the training process and Dukes wild ways. Positive reinforcement clicker training only worked when Duke wanted to listen but when he didn’t, we had no way of controlling him. We were worried for his safety, our kids safety, and worried friends and family wouldn’t want to come over b/c of Duke’s rude manners. He would steal our food, growl at us, jump up on everyone, climb all over us on the couch, wander into our neighbors yard and not come to us when being called, pull his leash on walks- basically it was non-stop chaos and exhausting. One week with Mark and Duke has changed in ways I thought were far off dreams. He walks by our side, no leash, and comes when called after we let him roam at the park. He lays quietly on his bed while we eat and work and only leaves when we tell him he can. He sits at the door when we open it until we say “come” (for his safety), his jumping up on people has practically stopped. Honestly, it’s night and day and I can finally breathe again. To get the most of the training, it’s super important to learn from Mark’s ways, listen to his advice, and keep up with the training after the initial week with Mark. I’ve seen first hand how doing so continues to solidify the good behavior. It just keeps getting better. Thank you so very much, Mark, for your expertise and giving Duke such superb attention!! And hugs from your boy Duke. He’s happy to be home but misses you.

    We sought out marks services when we got our new beagle puppy. She was more than a handful & with 3 boys, the youngest being 15 months old, I was going crazy with the totally out of control dog on top of our chaotic lives. After a week with mark Charlee came back to us a calmer dog & I now have the tools to keep up his training even in the midst of our chaotic lives. I could not recommend him more, he cared for her like she was his own & sent me many daily update videos so we knew she was going well away from us. Don’t hesitate to use mark, get your life back and a good dog in return!
