We are so happy to have found Mark. He sorted out years of problems efficiently and clearly. We have now been practicing his plan for 5 days and it’s definitely working (underneath all his psycho barking we knew we had the best dog)!

Mark was exceptional in helping us navigate life with our Aussie Shepherd puppy. He was incredibly knowledgeable, practical, and clear in his approach, giving us strategies that were easy to understand and put into practice. We’ve already seen a huge difference in our puppy’s behaviour, and she’s even learned a few new tricks along the way! We couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough. Thank you, Mark!

We were impressed with the level of service we received from Mark. Our puppy was very timid at the start, however with Mark's approach she became very comfortable and confident within a matter of minutes. We are now into day 1 after the initial training session and we have already noticed a difference in her behaviour. We would highly recommend Mark.

Could not recommend Mark enough. Worth every dollar! I wish I had done this sooner. I was shocked to see such positive results with my 2 very reactive Chihuahuas almost immediately! Super simple, efficient and clear techniques that work. So grateful and can't wait to keep implementing what I've learnt! Here's to calm happy dogs (and dog parents!)

We had such a great experience with Mark. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and gave us practical advice that we could immediately put into practice. Our pup is super excited, affectionate and full of energy, so we wanted help with things like jumping, pulling on the lead and improving her recall. Mark was fantastic at understanding her personality and showing us how to work with her rather than against her. We’ve come away feeling much more confident and equipped to continue her training. Highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and genuinely caring dog trainer!

I cannot recommend The Sydney Dog Trainer highly enough. I contacted them because my 16-month-old German Shepherd, Rufus, had developed some challenging behaviours around strangers, visitors to the house and barking when left alone. After trying different approaches without the progress I was hoping for, I booked an in-home session. Within just two hours, I genuinely felt like I had a completely different dog. More importantly, I realised that the biggest change needed to come from me. The trainer didn’t just train Rufus—they taught me how to communicate with him properly, understand why he behaves the way he does, and how to confidently handle different situations. The amount of knowledge I gained in those two hours was incredible. Everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand and immediately put into practice. By the end of the session, Rufus was calmer, more focused and responding in ways I honestly didn’t think were possible so quickly. If you’re struggling with your dog or simply want to become a better owner, do yourself a favour and book a session. It has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and I now feel confident that Rufus and I have the tools for a happy, well-balanced future together. Thank you again—I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Dog Behaviour issue SOLVED! - Separation Anxiety We cannot recommend The Sydney Dog Trainers enough! Our 11-month-old Samoyed suddenly developed severe separation anxiety right after we moved from an apartment to a house. Every time we attempted to leave, he would bark nonstop, and we started receiving complaints from our neighbour. It was the first time he had ever behaved like this, and the situation became incredibly stressful. We tried everything we could think of. We used a citronella collar, took him to the vet, rearranged our work schedules so one of us could stay home, and nothing was working. Everything changed when we contacted The Sydney Dog Trainers. From our very first phone call, Linda was incredibly compassionate and understanding about what we were going through. She took the time to explain how Mark, an experienced behaviourist and trainer, could help us, and she immediately gave us hope. The results were beyond anything we could have imagined. Mark worked a miracle! Our Samoyed stopped barking during the training session itself. He carefully showed us exactly how to leave the house, and we practised the routine over and over with short and longer absences until our dog was completely comfortable. We continued practising over the next two days exactly as Mark instructed, and we were amazed by the results. We can now leave the house without any barking at all. It’s honestly incredible. The previous two weeks had been so stressful, and now we finally have our normal lives back. We feel such a huge sense of relief. We truly don’t have enough words to thank Linda and Mark. Their knowledge, patience, and support completely transformed our situation. Our dog is happy, we’re happy, and our neighbour no longer has to deal with ongoing barking. If you’re dealing with separation anxiety or any behavioural issues, don’t hesitate to contact The Sydney Dog Trainers. They genuinely changed our lives.

Reached out to Linda to help with our new puppy and she explained everything perfectly and sent notes to help us set up for success. Her notes and training has helped us immensely and we’re so grateful. Already our puppy is able to sit, responds to her name, stays and responds to recalls. She also helped with our biggest problem of sleeping at night. By night two our puppy was peacefully sleeping in her crate. Linda has been a blessing. Highly recommend!

Mark was awesome in helping us improve our puppies behaviour. We were struggling to stop our 13 week old golden retriever from nipping and jumping when she got over excited. Mark spent 2 1/2 hrs with the whole family taking the time to understand how we interacted with Bundy. We cannot be more happy with the change in Bundy's behaviour. We saw immediate changes which we have been implementing as a family. Thank you so much Mark. We are truly grateful for your help and insight.

Linda is an absolute treasure - she has a beautiful way with puppies and people alike. She has a very loving, fun and respect-based approach to training. Six months after our session with Linda, my children of all ages continue to put her techniques into practice on a daily basis to teach our puppy new things and he's become a beautiful member of the family.

Mark has helped our family immensely in navigating life with a Border Collie puppy. His guidance has not only helped train our puppy, but has also taught our kids how to confidently and calmly handle situations that once felt overwhelming. Thanks to Mark’s support, patience, and practical advice, I now feel far more in control and capable in situations that would normally leave me stressed and anxious. His approach has made such a positive difference to our home and family life. We will continue lessons with Marks wife who specialises is ongoing puppy training. Thanks for all the support Mark!

Cannot speak too highly of Linda's assistance with Daisy and Finn. She's great not only at demonstrating the training, but also at helping me understand the 'why'. Training notes provided are gold: thoughtful and clear. And it's excellent to be able to reach out to Linda when we have questions or if something isn't working for us.

I can’t recommend Linda highly enough. She has worked with my puppy Étienne across sessions in both February and April, and the difference in his behaviour and confidence has been incredible! Linda is not only knowledgeable but also very practical, considerate and structured in her approach. She breaks things down in a way that’s easy to follow, even for first-time puppy owners. From toilet training and recall to building independence and managing nipping, every piece of advice she gave was actionable and tailored to my pup, Étienne. What really stood out to me was how much she focuses on setting the foundations early and setting the new puppy owners for success, especially around independence and preventing separation anxiety, which is something I hadn’t fully appreciated before. But now as I see my pup grow from 9 weeks and into his 18 weeks stance, the training and guidance provided has been super rewarding! Her guidance has genuinely helped me feel more confident as a dog parent too. She also provides detailed follow-up notes and is always open to questions and queries, which makes the whole experience feel very supportive rather than transactional. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs, is kind and can guide you in a clear, calm, and effective way, Linda is amazing. Étienne absolutely loved her, and so did I 😊

Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and was able to provide the training we needed for our dog. In just 1 session, my dog had shown dramatic change and since then it has been so much easier to manage. I love that Mark was honest and giving it to me straight, all while being friendly and fun to hang out with. I’ve had previous trainers for my dog before and this has been the best experience by far!

He was on time and calmly explained the strategies - how and why. I feel really positive after our session and look forward to practising each day. His after training support is also an excellent tool. Highly recommend.

We recently had Mark come to our home to help with our reactive 3yr old Cavoodle, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Almost instantly, we started seeing real changes and learned how to manage his reactivity and separation anxiety. Mark helped us to find creative ways to train our dog and change the behaviour. Mark was incredibly thorough in his approach, took the time to understand his personality and has given us the tools to continue training!

So glad we got him in as I was confused by conflicting advice on online forums. Could already see the changes in the dogs in the short time Mark was there, looking forward to implementing the training over the coming weeks and months.

We could not thank Linda enough, within minutes she arrived our home, our 3 months fluffy finally knows her name and responded (shame on us for having her a month already!!) Linda has been amazing by first understanding the current status, then our concerns before she jumped right to the training. Training started small but well organised, from indoor to outdoor, do's and don'ts. Thank you for the very fruitful time and all 5 of us have taken away a lot (me, my parent, 2 human kids and a fluffy one). Great support Linda, much much appreciated!!

Mark has been amazing with our 9-month-old, very playful and active Dooby. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and attentive, gave us clear advice and multiple strategies to address Dooby’s behaviors, explained not only what we had been doing wrong, but also how dogs think and why certain behaviors happen. What impressed us the most was how practical his tips were— within a 2 hour session with Mark, we’ve already noticed a huge difference in Dooby’s behavior, he is calmer and more responsive. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a dog trainer who is professional, insightful and genuinely cares about your pet’s well-being. Thanks Mark!

I contacted Mark because my 18 month old kelpie was basically unwalkable. He was so hyper reactive to other dogs and cars that taking him out anywhere was a battle. It took all my strength to hold him back from lunging and I was so embarrassed. By the end of the two hour sessions we were stood in the middle of St Ives Green surrounded by people and dogs and Felix was completely calm. He is like an entirely different dog. I can’t recommend Mark enough, and I’m so excited about all the places I can take my dog now that his reactivity is under control.

We had such a great experience with The Sydney Dog Trainer. From the very beginning, Linda made the process really easy—she gave us all the information we needed about what to expect, along with their values and approach. Our trainer, Mark, worked with our 2-year-old rescue Pomeranian who had a few behavioural issues. Mark was firm but kind, and our dog took to him straight away. His methods were clear, effective, and easy to implement, and we’ve already seen great results at home. If one approach didn’t work, Mark was ready with another option, which really showed his experience and adaptability. We loved that he was matter-of-fact but also flexible, tailoring the training to our family’s needs and the specific issues we wanted to address. It was totally worth the investment—we’re so glad we chose Mark and The Sydney Dog Trainer. And it’s also really reassuring knowing I can call or message Mark in the future if we need help tweaking things. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Mark has transformed my dog in one session. My dog was constantly barking at other dogs and so unsettled in my salon. The past three days following his instructions has changed my dog. His calm no barking not anxious and makes me feel so happy seeing him so settled. Having a 5 year old dog and trying so many other ppl to fix these issues left me feeling helpless. I recommend this company and wish I found them sooner

Mark is truly gifted dog whisperer. Within half an hour of my interaction with him, he was able to tailor advice that was not only effective and strategic to target behaviors of my dog but also suitable and appropriate with implementation given the environment, my dog’s temperament and personality of both my dog and I. His strategies does not involve punitive methods and is inexpensive - focused more on the long term. We are very blessed to have him support us! Highly recommend his business!

Linda has been a wonderful lady to work with when helping me train my pup! She gave such great advice when doing the in-home 2hr puppy training which already has made a difference in my puppy’s potty training and settling into the new home. Even after the in-home training she has been very responsive to my text messages and given me a lot of guidance whenever I have issues or concerns about my puppy. Being able to contact Linda has allowed me to feel a lot more reassured when raising my pup and has shown a lot of improvements in my dogs behaviour

Before working with Mark, my dog was quite reactive to bigger dogs and any dog that wasn’t small and fluffy. I felt like I had tried everything but within the first 10 minutes of our walk with Mark, my dog was calmly ignoring dogs he’d usually react to. We also struggled with barking at outside noises and chasing our neighbour’s cat out of the house, but Mark provided solutions that we saw worked instantly. With consistent use of his methods, I truly believe my dog will unlearn these bad habits. Thank you so much Mark and thank you Linda for being very responsive and kind when I had to move my booking the day before. I highly recommend if you’re on the fence!!

I have been trying to train him for what feels like forever but with Mark’s help I have realised it just takes patience. The difference between my dog from the start and end of the two hours with Mark was incredible! I highly recommend Mark’s services, and can confirm his methods really work, so I am very grateful. Will be recommending this team!

I highly recommend Linda and Marks Company. Marks knowledge and expertise was hands down amazing as he helped us understand the dog world a whole lot better and showed us invaluable insights by implementing workable strategies to train our vivacious Mini Toy Groodle. We started seeing results within days and we now have a less reactive well behaved dog. Thanks Linda and Mark!

Freddy - The training Day. Thanks to Mark, arrived on time and within 10 minutes he had Freddy behaving like a new dog. The new techniques that he showed us were exceptional and we are using them all of the time. The feedback and the additional assistance is most appreciated. We would highly recommend there services.

Mark was fantastic and has a great understanding of how a dog mind works! The simplest of changes he recommended made a world of difference and I can now walk our puppy (a very big puppy) without having my arm ripped off. We really appreciated the time he took to explain things and the logic behind it and it made complete sense.

Within 2 hours we had learnt the basis of what our pup was thinking and the theory around why we had to be strict on discipline with her. Given we have 2 young kids I was all for abit of discipline and it also helped me appreciate being tough on the kids! I never knew I could be tough with boundaries but still have her sleeping on the couch with me and cuddled and loved! Once Mark had left instantly we got to put in practice the new techniques and within seconds she was relaxed on the floor near us on the couch! Unbelievable !!! So stoked and super keen to keep it up for this week to break her habit! Thanks Mark!!

We have seen a marked improvement in Otto's behaviour and the training has absolutely worked. We could not recommend Mark more.

Mark came today and within the first 10 minutes of seeing our setup and explaining everything we are doing wrong and why we’d be setting up our pup for future bad habits and failure, i thought “g’eez! Just this 10 minutes has paid itself off”…. But then he took his time to explain even more stuff and showed us some presentations and by the end of the session we felt so happy and confident with what to do, we went out today and bought what we needed and made all the changes he suggested and it’s been a TOTAL game changer. Especially for potty training, which was a NIGHTMARE cleaning all the pups pee and poo, that’s all been corrected the SAME DAY as Marks visit. What a champion, thank u legend. RECOMMEND. 5/5

Mark shared really valuable insights and helped me with actionable behaviour correction techniques and I made more progress with my dog in one session with Mark than in a year of trying to correct the behaviour on my own. A super successful session, thank you Mark !

We were impressed with the level of service we received from Mark. Our puppy was very timid at the start, however with Mark's approach she became very comfortable and confident within a matter of minutes. We are now into day 1 after the initial training session and we have already noticed a difference in her behaviour. We would highly recommend Mark.

We had such a great experience with Mark. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and gave us practical advice that we could immediately put into practice. Our pup is super excited, affectionate and full of energy, so we wanted help with things like jumping, pulling on the lead and improving her recall. Mark was fantastic at understanding her personality and showing us how to work with her rather than against her. We’ve come away feeling much more confident and equipped to continue her training. Highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and genuinely caring dog trainer!

I cannot recommend The Sydney Dog Trainer highly enough. I contacted them because my 16-month-old German Shepherd, Rufus, had developed some challenging behaviours around strangers, visitors to the house and barking when left alone. After trying different approaches without the progress I was hoping for, I booked an in-home session. Within just two hours, I genuinely felt like I had a completely different dog. More importantly, I realised that the biggest change needed to come from me. The trainer didn’t just train Rufus—they taught me how to communicate with him properly, understand why he behaves the way he does, and how to confidently handle different situations. The amount of knowledge I gained in those two hours was incredible. Everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand and immediately put into practice. By the end of the session, Rufus was calmer, more focused and responding in ways I honestly didn’t think were possible so quickly. If you’re struggling with your dog or simply want to become a better owner, do yourself a favour and book a session. It has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and I now feel confident that Rufus and I have the tools for a happy, well-balanced future together. Thank you again—I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Dog Behaviour issue SOLVED! - Separation Anxiety We cannot recommend The Sydney Dog Trainers enough! Our 11-month-old Samoyed suddenly developed severe separation anxiety right after we moved from an apartment to a house. Every time we attempted to leave, he would bark nonstop, and we started receiving complaints from our neighbour. It was the first time he had ever behaved like this, and the situation became incredibly stressful. We tried everything we could think of. We used a citronella collar, took him to the vet, rearranged our work schedules so one of us could stay home, and nothing was working. Everything changed when we contacted The Sydney Dog Trainers. From our very first phone call, Linda was incredibly compassionate and understanding about what we were going through. She took the time to explain how Mark, an experienced behaviourist and trainer, could help us, and she immediately gave us hope. The results were beyond anything we could have imagined. Mark worked a miracle! Our Samoyed stopped barking during the training session itself. He carefully showed us exactly how to leave the house, and we practised the routine over and over with short and longer absences until our dog was completely comfortable. We continued practising over the next two days exactly as Mark instructed, and we were amazed by the results. We can now leave the house without any barking at all. It’s honestly incredible. The previous two weeks had been so stressful, and now we finally have our normal lives back. We feel such a huge sense of relief. We truly don’t have enough words to thank Linda and Mark. Their knowledge, patience, and support completely transformed our situation. Our dog is happy, we’re happy, and our neighbour no longer has to deal with ongoing barking. If you’re dealing with separation anxiety or any behavioural issues, don’t hesitate to contact The Sydney Dog Trainers. They genuinely changed our lives.

Her notes and training has helped us immensely and we’re so grateful. Already our puppy is able to sit, responds to her name, stays and responds to recalls. She also helped with our biggest problem of sleeping at night. By night two our puppy was peacefully sleeping in her crate. Linda has been a blessing. Highly recommend!

Mark was awesome in helping us improve our puppies behaviour. We were struggling to stop our 13 week old golden retriever from nipping and jumping when she got over excited. Mark spent 2 1/2 hrs with the whole family taking the time to understand how we interacted with Bundy. We cannot be more happy with the change in Bundy's behaviour. We saw immediate changes which we have been implementing as a family. Thank you so much Mark. We are truly grateful for your help and insight.

Mark has helped our family immensely in navigating life with a Border Collie puppy. His guidance has not only helped train our puppy, but has also taught our kids how to confidently and calmly handle situations that once felt overwhelming. Thanks to Mark’s support, patience, and practical advice, I now feel far more in control and capable in situations that would normally leave me stressed and anxious. His approach has made such a positive difference to our home and family life. We will continue lessons with Marks wife who specialises is ongoing puppy training. Thanks for all the support Mark!

I can’t recommend Linda highly enough. She has worked with my puppy Étienne across sessions in both February and April, and the difference in his behaviour and confidence has been incredible! Linda is not only knowledgeable but also very practical, considerate and structured in her approach. She breaks things down in a way that’s easy to follow, even for first-time puppy owners. From toilet training and recall to building independence and managing nipping, every piece of advice she gave was actionable and tailored to my pup, Étienne. What really stood out to me was how much she focuses on setting the foundations early and setting the new puppy owners for success, especially around independence and preventing separation anxiety, which is something I hadn’t fully appreciated before. But now as I see my pup grow from 9 weeks and into his 18 weeks stance, the training and guidance provided has been super rewarding! Her guidance has genuinely helped me feel more confident as a dog parent too. She also provides detailed follow-up notes and is always open to questions and queries, which makes the whole experience feel very supportive rather than transactional. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs, is kind and can guide you in a clear, calm, and effective way, Linda is amazing. Étienne absolutely loved her, and so did I 😊

Almost instantly, we started seeing real changes and learned how to manage his reactivity and separation anxiety. Mark helped us to find creative ways to train our dog and change the behaviour. Mark was incredibly thorough in his approach, took the time to understand his personality and has given us the tools to continue training!

We could not thank Linda enough, within minutes she arrived our home, our 3 months fluffy finally knows her name and responded (shame on us for having her a month already!!) Linda has been amazing by first understanding the current status, then our concerns before she jumped right to the training. Training started small but well organised, from indoor to outdoor, do's and don'ts. Thank you for the very fruitful time and all 5 of us have taken away a lot (me, my parent, 2 human kids and a fluffy one). Great support Linda, much much appreciated!!

I am so happy I booked this training for my cavoodle. One visit is all it took to stop him barking every time I leave him at home.

Mark has a wealth of knowledge and experience in dog behaviour and training. After just a couple of hours with our rescue, she's a totally different dog on the lead. We now have the right knowledge and tools to keep building on her training in all areas and can see her just getting better and better each day. Would highly recommend!

Unbelievable how one session can change my puppy. Mark was excellent in providing tips to setup home and the best part is Theo now loves to sleep in his crate. Less potty accidents ever since he started sleeping in the crate. My first call to Linda, training and follow up from Mark, the entire process was stress free. Mark & Linda are the best!

Mark was recommended to us for our little Chihuhuas reactive barking. After 2 hours with Mark, our little guy is so much more calm and a huge reduction in reactive barking. We have to tools and information to continue training. Highly recommend.

Linda and Mark were the most passionate and professional people to work with. Helped me from session one and continued to check in and even came back if anything was an issue. 100% recommend to others taught my dog basic commands, where to go to the toilet and how to stop play biting. Check out the team 100% recommend.

Mark has been amazing with our 9-month-old, very playful and active Dooby. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and attentive, gave us clear advice and multiple strategies to address Dooby’s behaviors, explained not only what we had been doing wrong, but also how dogs think and why certain behaviors happen. What impressed us the most was how practical his tips were— within a 2 hour session with Mark, we’ve already noticed a huge difference in Dooby’s behavior, he is calmer and more responsive. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a dog trainer who is professional, insightful and genuinely cares about your pet’s well-being. Thanks Mark!

I contacted Mark because my 18 month old kelpie was basically unwalkable. He was so hyper reactive to other dogs and cars that taking him out anywhere was a battle. It took all my strength to hold him back from lunging and I was so embarrassed. By the end of the two hour sessions we were stood in the middle of St Ives Green surrounded by people and dogs and Felix was completely calm. He is like an entirely different dog. I can’t recommend Mark enough, and I’m so excited about all the places I can take my dog now that his reactivity is under control.

We had such a great experience with The Sydney Dog Trainer. From the very beginning, Linda made the process really easy—she gave us all the information we needed about what to expect, along with their values and approach. Our trainer, Mark, worked with our 2-year-old rescue Pomeranian who had a few behavioural issues. Mark was firm but kind, and our dog took to him straight away. His methods were clear, effective, and easy to implement, and we’ve already seen great results at home. If one approach didn’t work, Mark was ready with another option, which really showed his experience and adaptability. We loved that he was matter-of-fact but also flexible, tailoring the training to our family’s needs and the specific issues we wanted to address. It was totally worth the investment—we’re so glad we chose Mark and The Sydney Dog Trainer. And it’s also really reassuring knowing I can call or message Mark in the future if we need help tweaking things. Highly recommend!

Mark is extremely gifted with animal behavioural science. He knew when to exert strong boundaries with my Bernadoodle and at the same time show love and affection. He has the perfect balance. My puppy Bernadoodle changed after one session. If you follow through on his advice you will end up with a happy, calm, secure dog and family ☺️

If I could give 10 stars I would. Mark has transformed my dog in one session. My dog was constantly barking at other dogs and so unsettled in my salon. The past three days following his instructions has changed my dog. His calm no barking not anxious and makes me feel so happy seeing him so settled. Having a 5 year old dog and trying so many other ppl to fix these issues left me feeling helpless. I recommend this company and wish I found them sooner

Mark is truly gifted dog whisperer. Within half an hour of my interaction with him, he was able to tailor advice that was not only effective and strategic to target behaviors of my dog but also suitable and appropriate with implementation given the environment, my dog’s temperament and personality of both my dog and I. His strategies does not involve punitive methods and is inexpensive - focused more on the long term. We are very blessed to have him support us! Highly recommend his business!

Linda has been a wonderful lady to work with when helping me train my pup! She gave such great advice when doing the in-home 2hr puppy training which already has made a difference in my puppy’s potty training and settling into the new home. Even after the in-home training she has been very responsive to my text messages and given me a lot of guidance whenever I have issues or concerns about my puppy. Being able to contact Linda has allowed me to feel a lot more reassured when raising my pup and has shown a lot of improvements in my dogs behaviour

Before working with Mark, my dog was quite reactive to bigger dogs and any dog that wasn’t small and fluffy. I felt like I had tried everything but within the first 10 minutes of our walk with Mark, my dog was calmly ignoring dogs he’d usually react to. We also struggled with barking at outside noises and chasing our neighbour’s cat out of the house, but Mark provided solutions that we saw worked instantly. With consistent use of his methods, I truly believe my dog will unlearn these bad habits. Thank you so much Mark and thank you Linda for being very responsive and kind when I had to move my booking the day before. I highly recommend if you’re on the fence!!

I have been trying to train him for what feels like forever but with Mark’s help I have realised it just takes patience. The difference between my dog from the start and end of the two hours with Mark was incredible! I highly recommend Mark’s services, and can confirm his methods really work, so I am very grateful. Will be recommending this team!

I highly recommend Linda and Marks Company. Marks knowledge and expertise was hands down amazing as he helped us understand the dog world a whole lot better and showed us invaluable insights by implementing workable strategies to train our vivacious Mini Toy Groodle. We started seeing results within days and we now have a less reactive well behaved dog. Thanks Linda and Mark!

Mark was fantastic and has a great understanding of how a dog mind works! The simplest of changes he recommended made a world of difference and I can now walk our puppy (a very big puppy) without having my arm ripped off. We really appreciated the time he took to explain things and the logic behind it and it made complete sense.

Within 2 hours we had learnt the basis of what our pup was thinking and the theory around why we had to be strict on discipline with her. Given we have 2 young kids I was all for abit of discipline and it also helped me appreciate being tough on the kids! I never knew I could be tough with boundaries but still have her sleeping on the couch with me and cuddled and loved! Once Mark had left instantly we got to put in practice the new techniques and within seconds she was relaxed on the floor near us on the couch! Unbelievable !!! So stoked and super keen to keep it up for this week to break her habit! Thanks Mark!!

Mark was brilliant! He helped us with practical and direct training for our 6 year old Maltese Poodle with a penchant for barking at the door and weeing inside when it rains. We have seen a marked improvement in Otto's behaviour and the training has absolutely worked. We could not recommend Mark more.

We were given great tools and techniques to manage it. Mark was patient and took the time to get to know us and our dog. Highly recommend Mark! Thank you 🙏

Mark came today and within the first 10 minutes of seeing our setup and explaining everything we are doing wrong and why we’d be setting up our pup for future bad habits and failure, i thought “g’eez! Just this 10 minutes has paid itself off”…. But then he took his time to explain even more stuff and showed us some presentations and by the end of the session we felt so happy and confident with what to do, we went out today and bought what we needed and made all the changes he suggested and it’s been a TOTAL game changer. Especially for potty training, which was a NIGHTMARE cleaning all the pups pee and poo, that’s all been corrected the SAME DAY as Marks visit. What a champion, thank u legend. RECOMMEND. 5/5

I cannot recommend a session with Mark highly enough for anyone needing help in recorrecting behaviour with their dog. Mark shared really valuable insights and helped me with actionable behaviour correction techniques and I made more progress with my dog in one session with Mark than in a year of trying to correct the behaviour on my own. A super successful session, thank you Mark !

We got some great instruction on how to toilet train, stop the biting, and how to improve our relationship with our puppy.
