Mark Thompson of BetterDog Training worked wonders with my German shepherds! One needed obedience training and the other needed help with reactivity to dogs after several bad experiences. Mark was a game changer and both dogs did great with the training!

Mark Thompson is definitely one of the best dog trainers around. With his 35 years of experience, he is very skilled at reading dogs and evaluating them, in no time. For me, I needed a temperament test, to prove that my dog is not dangerous. Mark took my dog Bella, through all kinds of tests that were created to be stressful for her. She passed with flying colors. As part of the assessment, Mark provided me with a detailed written evaluation of his findings, which will be used in my case. I would recommend Mark to all my dog friends. Mark has a unique ability to understand dog. He was spot on with his recommendations and training. I trust his professional evaluation, and was very pleased with his services.

We got a Husky puppy in late March this year. We immediately knew that we would need to get professional help with training as he was very energetic and relatively defiant. We first reached out to Mark in early April and his assistant was very quick to respond and lay out everything that he could do to help us. Both the assistant and us felt that we were a good fit for Mark's training services. Our progress with our puppy thus far has been amazing! Mark has been awesome throughout the whole process. He has been very responsive when we have questions during the week between our training sessions and has had endless suggestions for any situation that may come up. I would highly recommend Mark's services to anyone who wants well trained, happy dogs!
