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)!
Owner's reply
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Yarmila! I’m happy to hear the plan is working well and that you are continuing to see great progress after just five days! He really is a lovely little guy! Keep up the consistent work! Cheers MarkPosted on Google![]()

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.

Thanks for the review Carlo! Your German Shep puppy was amazing and the set up for your puppy was top shelf! I could tell this guy knew what he was doing! Well done! Cheers MarkPosted on Google![]()

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.
Owner's reply
Hi Michael Thank you for taking the time to leave an amazing review! If I’ve said it once I’ll say it a hundred times…successful visits are only successful because of great clients. You listened, took onboard what I had to say and implemented the training and advice during the visit and saw a change for the better in Rufus. So well done Michael! Reach out should you have any questions regarding the training or if you feel things aren’t progressing down the track! We’ve got your back! Cheers MarkPosted on Google![]()

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!Posted on Google![]()

Mark was excellent. We were struggling with our puppy's constant barking and not listening to us but Mark completely turned things around.

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 😊Posted on Google![]()

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!!)

Training started small but well organised, from indoor to outdoor, do's and don'ts.

I can’t recommend Mark enough! I brought him my two dog-reactive dachshunds, and within the first five minutes he managed to correct their behavior in a way I didn’t think was possible. He had the dogs walking calmly with zero reactions in no time— and the leash pulling that used to drive me crazy was gone. The real test was a busy cafe filled with dogs, and unbelievably, not a single bark. I was blown away by how confidently and calmly Mark handled everything, and how quickly the dogs responded to him. His approach is clear, patient, and incredibly effective. If you’re struggling with reactivity, leash pulling, or just want a trainer who truly knows what they’re doing, Mark is the person to call. Absolutely 5 stars! 🌟🐾

Mark is a wealth of knowledge and has all different techniques to offer to help dogs behaviours and reactions. I noticed a huge difference with my dachshund who is very reactive to people coming into our house and has bad separation anxiety. Mark quickly assessed what works for her and after a 2h session she responded very well to her triggers and did not react to him coming in the door. I’m keen to continue this training and see where she goes! I highly recommend Mark.

Mark was amazing with our rescue boy Norman who was dog reactive with a new rescue we adopted. We were at a loss of what to do with the two dogs as they had to be separated at all times around the house as they would attack each other every time they saw one another. Mark was able to help us integrate our new dog Tank within about a week with some careful crate exposure and walking etc- we never thought it would be possible! Now the boys are best mates and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks Mark

Mark and Linda have literally changed our lives!! We had one grumpy older dog (you can definitely teach an old dog new tricks) and a hyperactive 4 year old dog, so each end of the spectrum. Mark’s common sense advice and clear sighted intelligence has helped us settle their anxiety, stop excessive barking, and pulling on their lead. We can finally walk the dogs with the knowledge to manage reactive behaviour. We can’t believe we waited so long!! On the first meeting, Mark already made changes.

When Mark arrived I thought how is he going to change Harloe’s behaviour in 1 x 2 hour session. The results he was able to achieve with a combination of authority & love was truly amazing. When I turned up at the beach with Harloe the next day & was able to leave her to go for a swim without hearing the separation/ anxiety barking was a fantastic feeling.

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!
Owner's reply
What can I say Shellie? Great clients get great results! Our training recommendations quickly got Ziggy to a point where he was no longer arching up at dogs and bikes. His response to the training was exceptional. So I thank you and your husband for trusting in me to do what I do. This doesn’t mean he is fixed, it was day one of his training but it is a pretty good start and shows that he is capable of learning to do things differently. Keep up the training as discussed and reach out if you have any questions. Once again I really do appreciate you taking the time out to leave this amazing review. Cheers, MarkPosted on Google![]()

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 ☺️
Owner's reply
Hi Bec! Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with your amazing family and your beautiful Bernadoodle! It’s fantastic to hear that you noticed such a change after just one session. Out training approach is all about providing clear boundaries combined with affection and some yummy treats 😋! You have done an amazing job following through as that’s what creates lasting results. I am looking forward to seeing your pup continue to thrive as a happy and confident member of the 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.

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!!Posted on Google![]()

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 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.

What can I say but thank you Mark. We had tried other trainers and behaviorist but all that came out of it was a sad, restricted dog. Then we found Mark and my girl not only is happy and enjoying her home but also listens and understands the boundaries set out. To say that she's happy is an understatement. Mark gave us honest information and didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver. Could not recommend him enough.
Owner's reply
Karina….what can I say, when I walked into your place I saw a depressed doggo 😔. Mat training which is what you were guided to do by a previous behaviourist can do wonders for some dogs but for others it can be too restrictive and can create learned helplessness. It’s good that you saw that this method was not working for your dog and gave your dog another chance by trying something different! I am so glad your dog is back to her old self and respectful of the boundaries that you have implemented.Posted on Google![]()

Exceptional Mark was exceptional at helping with a few issues with our two dogs; a groodle and a cavoodle. Doorbell reactivity was essentially corrected in one session, and now we have the skills to work with reactivity to people walking past our house (especially those people walking their own dogs). We also had some challenges with intermittent aggression from our groodle toward the cavoodle and Mark helped us to understand what was happening behaviourally, what to do to prevent the behaviour and to nip it in the bud at the earliest sign. The methods are sensible and based on behavioural conditioning. He clearly loves dogs and showed so much warmth toward ours. He was punctual, professional and communicated clearly. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Mark!Posted on Google![]()

I reached out to Mark looking for help for our pups separation anxiety, was able to secure an appointment super quick. Mark arrived and from the moment he entered our home started his training. He was super thorough with info and recommendations, tips & tricks. I instantly saw a change with my dogs behaviour and with continual encouragement, reinforcement and training - my dog quickly learnt and we have since had no intense barking when we leave the house or pacing!

Spent two hours with Mark this morning and my 8-week Havanese is more receptive to training. Mark was able to provide tips to accelerate toilet training and drive the right social behaviors. We also walked through pen / crate optimisations which were a massive help - Alfie is already using his space correctly. We initially struggled to reduce his anxiety and contain toilet accidents but with some minor adjustments I'm confident Mark's advice will iron those issues out over time. I can already see the things I was doing wrong and feel much more confident handling my pup. Mark is very professional and I couldn't recommend him more.
