Discover the Benefits
🐕 Live, On-on-One Instruction: Receive live, one-on-one instruction, hands-on training, and feedback. Pre-recorded courses and YouTube videos don't provide the feedback and accountability needed to be successful.
🐕 Expert Guidance: Effective dog training requires mentorship. When you choose to train with me, I’m with you every step of the way, providing the expert guidance you and your dog deserve.
🐕 Specialization: My training specializes in training high-energy dogs. These are dogs that are typically smart, energetic, and food/toy motivated. As a result of these characteristics, they are also the same dogs that are prone to other undesirable behaviors such as jumping, barking, leash pulling, ignoring known commands around distraction, and other pushy behaviors.
🐕 Custom Training: No two dogs are the same. My training adapts to you and your dog's goals. Regardless of your skill level, my training is designed for enthusiasts of all levels who want to take their skills to the next level.
🐕 Convenience: Train from the comfort of your home or local park with flexible scheduling.
🐕 Individualized Homework: After each session, you'll receive exercises designed to reinforce you and your dog's learning.
🐕 Ongoing Support: I’m here for you even after the session ends. I encourage you to send videos of your homework so I can ensure you're on track for success. Any questions, concerns, or follow-up support you need, I’m just a message away.
🐕 Improved Relationship: Strengthen your relationship in ways you didn't know were possible.

About Me
Hello, my name is Mark and my mission is to help you spend less time in conflict and more time in connection so you can better enjoy living with your dog. I spent over a decade teaching thousands of students as a public educator before combining my love of teaching people with my love of training dogs.
My training system consists of breaking training into four categories: management, manners, play, and obedience. I believe each of these categories are distinct and essential to building a strong foundation with your dog.
I love training all dogs, but I specialize in high-energy dogs. These are dogs that are typically smart, energetic, and food/toy motivated. As a result of these characteristics, they are also the same dogs that are prone to other undesirable behaviors such as jumping, barking, leash pulling, ignoring known commands around distraction, and other pushy behaviors.

Before working with Mark, our dog lacked impulse control, manners and did not have a consistent recall. After working with Mark our pup developed great manners, obedience, and an incredible recall. We were also so happy that Mark helped us build such a solid connection. Our pup's joy and happiness radiates off of her."
