I can't recommend Mark enough. Our extremely anxious 2.5 year old working breed Huntaway has been people and dog reactive since we rehomed her 18 months ago. A typical lockdown pup who spent the first year of her life indoors with zero socialisation or training . With Marks help, training advice and patience we've got to a point where she is calm, and actually enjoying life. We can walk past and be near triggers that would previously have completely sent her over the edge. We can even go into shops now and be in unfamiliar places without too much drama. A massive step forward for us! We've still got plenty to work on but the difference now is that we're able to see how to work through it. Marks guidance has honestly been life changing for our doggy relationship. My only regret is that we didn't seek his help sooner. His charges are very reasonable and a very small price to pay to see our dog happy. If we have any questions or behaviours that we're struggling with in the future I'll not hesitate to request Marks services again.

Mark's sessions to help us train our Labrador puppy have been really useful and so much fun too! He has given us much more confidence and our puppy is responding brilliantly to the training. Mark has so much knowledge and experience- would highly recommend!

We can't recommend Mark enough. He has given us invaluable support with our working cocker, Paddy, and really helped us understand his behaviour and adjust our training to make things work. It's been great fun and Mark is an excellent trainer - kind and caring but clear and extremely knowledgeable...and patient. If you're considering contacting a dog trainer, look no further and give Mark a call. You certainly won't regret it.

We’ve just had our first session with Mark for our 8 year old Border Collie rescue, Spirit. We had an in depth chat about Spirit’s behaviour and anxiety around other dogs, and discovered that we, as owners, can be doing so many things differently every day to start learning his body language, understanding how he feels in a situation and offering him an alternative choice than reacting negatively to another dog’s presence. We need more training than he does! Mark is brilliant - easy to talk to and so clear about each aspect of what he’s wanting us to do. Well worth the money, and we will be booking in for further practical sessions with no hesitation. Thank you again Mark - Spirit seems to miss you already! :)
