Doggie Steps Dog Training

We highly recommend Mark for both dog training and pet sitting! He has worked with our dogs, Piper (7) and Goose (2), and has been wonderful with both of them. Mark gave us clear, practical guidance for Piper’s barking and Goose’s jumping, along with leash walking and multiple commands for Goose. His training advice is easy to understand and continue at home. We also use Mark for dog sitting and love his convenient pick-up and drop-off service. He communicates with us regularly by text while the dogs are with him, so we always know they’re happy and well cared for. Mark is reliable, knowledgeable, and great with our dogs. We highly recommend him!

We have worked with Mark training two of our dogs. Our older dog Teddy worked with Mark in his group training class over a decade ago at 6 months old. It was the perfect fit for him and set us off on a strong start. He is now 10 years old and is an amazing dog! He's retained his training and is such a joy to our family. We booked private training with our 1 year old chihuahua / poodle mix who was showing some signs of anxious repetitive barking with new people. Although he mainly struggles with males, he took very well to Mark and was immediately comfortable working with him. Mark has helped us so that we can enjoy social outings and have better ways of communicating with our dog in stressful moments. We are grateful for the support and how Mark has helped us with both our Teddy (10 yrs) and Benji (1 yr)!

We had an excellent experience with Mark’s in-home dog training for Hobby. Mark was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to understand Hobby's specific needs and behaviors. Each visit was well-structured, with clear explanations and techniques that were easy to practice between sessions. It was so exciting to see improvements in Hobby's behavior and confidence after every training. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for knowledgeable guidance and a trainer who truly goes above and beyond.
