From Lemon to Lemonade!

Mark is the best trainer I've met! I've had the privilege of working with the master Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan – on a business venture a few years ago – and he is definitely the real deal. I really like and respect Mark, because like Cesar, he believes in the “pack leader” philosophy – and incorporates many of his non nonsense approaches to his training. I met Mark at Urban Fauna – when my yellow LAB Lemon was just a puppy. I was having problems with complete “recall” when she was off leash. Most times she would come, but on those occasions (usually the most important), she would not. We live on acreage in Washington, with the Pacific Crest Trail running through it. During summer months, we get hikers coming through – and Lemon would sometimes take off up the trail after unsuspecting hikers. She is a sweet dog, only protecting her turf, but scary none the less. She also got to taking after a massive herd of Elk that also live on the property (dangerous!!).

Mark – came to our property and showed us how to run “come command” drills using varying length rope & recall commands. He also took her for weekends and worked with her on recall. She now has a 100% come command rate. We couldn’t be happier!

Lastly, prior to Mark – I had worked with no less than 4 other trainers. Mark is by far the most skilled and frankly honest. There are many different methods out there – but what I have found is that dogs like to have a calm assertive leader – that is consistent. I found trying to use clickers and other gimmicks a distraction.

Hire Mark – you won’t regret it!
