Barking and howling can get you kicked out of your apartment or letters from neighbours or council! The good news is that this issue is generally resolved quite quickly! The above video is a before and after of a recent visit to Mana to help her address Basil's separation anxiety. Her review can be found below.

Mark worked wonders for my boy Basil! I was at my wits end with his separation anxiety but Mark came in and worked wonders. He's very easy to work with and Basil immediately took to him. Within the day he's already staying 1 hour + alone and is settling on his own. Thanks for your support Mark. If you need help with your dog Mark is your guy!

What can I say…
After 1 session with Mark, Humphrey (2y/o spoodle) has changed.
I struggled with Humph’s jumping, whining (separation anxiety), overexcited temperament, recall and an obsession with the ball - i could never catch a break. Although I’ve always been quite strict with him, my mum (a.k.a Gran Grans) has allowed him to get away with a lot since he was a puppy.
Thanks to Mark and his skill set, I feel more confident in myself and in Humphrey! Mark’s techniques have not only taught me how to control Humph’s jumping, ball obsession, recall and overall behaviour, but it’s given my mum more confidence to be strict with him.
I can’t thank Mark enough for his guidance. If you are in need of a patient, yet firm trainer for your pup, look no further than Mark! He’s also an all-rounded guy with a sense of humour and a great personality, making the experience that much more enjoyable!

Mark was fantastic! As others have said, I wish we'd gotten him in sooner. He clearly has a lot of knowledge and experience, but we especially appreciated how much care and attention he brought to his work. We discussed the issues we were having with our puppy (non-stop demand barking during crating and separation anxiety while away) and Mark was able to tell us what we were doing right, and what we could be doing better. Importantly for us, Mark showed a lot of empathy to our puppy and was quickly able to establish a bond with her, which he then used to show us ways to better train her so everyone was happy.
One of the key reasons we went with Mark over other trainers was that his approach seemed much more holistic and less punitive, and that's really what we saw when he visited. And it's worked - our puppy went from non-stop barking when crated to almost nothing - now she only barks during playtime! Incorporating Mark's suggestions has improved our relationship with our puppy dramatically.

Our little dog HAD serious separation anxiety. It's something we've been dealing with for months, but has recently got much worse. Mark really knows his stuff, his techniques were incredible and nothing like any other trainer has told us. He was great to deal with and we finally feel comfortable about leaving our dog at home and him being comfortable. Thanks Mark!

Mark was absolutely incredible. Our little puppy has very bad separation anxiety and we have been working on it for months. Within one session Mark was able to double the amount of time we could leave her alone, and she seemed a lot less anxious. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs some help!
