Doggie Steps Dog Training

My wife and I are currently enrolled in Mark's group lesson program with our Miniature Bulldog (half pug, half bulldog) Pugsley. Mark has suggested to purchase the prong collar for our puppy since he demonstrates signs of selective hearing and disregards basic commands when distractions are present. Walking him used to be quite the hassle as well due to his aggressive lunging and extreme curiosity. Once we purchased the collar, we noticed a remarkable difference. Commands were followed instantly and the lunging stopped. Pugsley listens very well on walks now, making our time spent with him significantly less stressful. I understand that one of the complaints with the prong collar is it's inhumane image; however, once you see that it doesn't actually inflict pain on your dog and it's used more as a corrective solution to misbehavior, then you will most likely notice a significant difference in your dog's attitude and with Mark's help, you can start to establish the 'pack leader' persona.

As with kids, two is always harder than one, especially if they are puppies, siblings and the same age. I have trained and raised multiple dogs and was always able to manage just fine, but as aforementioned two at the same time was near impossible. Enter Mark Siebel. Mark is not only a great guy but an amazing individual who had our household pegged in the first meeting and was able to create a lesson plan that truly showed results. Our two dogs are two and a half years old now and thanks to Mark and our Friends at the D Pet Hotel in Scottsdale (where the go to doggie day care twice a week for daycare), the most lovable and well adjusted dogs I have ever owned. I hold Mark in the highest regard as an individual and his skill set is second to none.
