Here's just one of the great reviews we've received on Yelp!
2/13/2013
Mark's website says "99% of Students Would Recommend Us!"  I'm firmly part of that 99%.  I've been having some issues with my dog thanks to some bad training advice I received from a dog rescue group and Mark certainly helped turn that around.  I was quite happy with the obedience classes and it gave my dog the opportunity to refine what we practiced in a public setting around other dogs.

The best thing about him is that he GENUINELY CARES, like one of those special teachers you had in high school that stood out from the rest of the clock-punching drones...the one you still remember the name of and made a real difference in your life.  He also stayed with us after class to answer some tough questions when he could have easily blown us off or told us "uh...I don't cover that in this class..."  He deserves every one of these 5-star reviews.

I will say that if you and your canine companion want to get the most out of the experience, you need to do the homework assignments!  He does do private at-home training and live-in training.  He also has a behavior class starting in summer that I'm looking forward to signing up for as soon as it's available.
