Mark, Ali, Hayley, Emily and the team at Advanced Canine Development are exceptional communicators and trainers of humans and their dogs. Direct, compassionate, and honest are the traits that come to mind quickly when I think about what I appreciate about their process. We will continue to learn from them and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to better their dog’s (and their own human) behaviors.
This has the potential to be life changing, and worth every penny.

Dr Shaw recommended Advanced Canine Development in Punta Gorda for our GSP puppy Grace…we were nervous leaving her at a young age, ALL nerves were calmed! We ABSOLUTELY recommend training at this establishment…between Mark, Ali, Hayley, Emily and the entire staff, our Grace was in perfect hands and we all learned so much! Gratitude is the word that comes to mind🙏🏻

Bear has been with Mark and his amazing team of women for 13 days. I walked Bear with the group today and he was perfect - no barking pulling or lunging. It was a joy walking him today with the other 15+ dogs in training. Just an incredible experience - highly recommend Mark and his team! Thank you all

My one-year-old dog, Apollo, just finished a three-week program here, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The staff were incredibly helpful — they answered all my questions, kept me updated throughout his stay, and were so kind and supportive. Apollo needed help with jumping, separation anxiety, and leash pulling, and I can honestly say he’s like a different dog now. It took me a little time to learn everything they taught, but the trainers explained things so clearly and patiently. I’m so grateful for this amazing team — they truly care about both the dogs and the owners!

The staff and program are top notch. Our dog was a bit of a challenge due to her anxiety and they managed it great. We were frequently updated by video on her progress which showed amazing results. We were frequently brought in for our part of the training as well which will help us be successful in continuing her training.
