Doggie Steps Dog Training

This review is a bit overdue. We adopted a cute little terrier mix from a local rescue and, after having to toss out many shoes and experiencing several days of frustration, hired Mark to train us and our new pup. We were convinced that our new pup was the devil incarnate and we were being karmically punished for something horrible we'd done in a past life. Mark offered scheduling options and we opted for him to come to our home for training. We mostly stuck to our schedule, but he was flexible when circumstances changed. The training was fantastic. He provided a curriculum and modified it, when necessary. By the end of the 8 training lessons, our pup was absolutely transformed. Seriously. It's not magic, though. It was up to us to consistently train between lessons. And we did. And we still do. Mark provided exactly what we needed to be successful in understanding and managing our pup's needs, and how to get him to respond to us favorably. Our 11th week with our new pack member is coming to a close and we are so happy that we called Mark to help us through the frustration. We highly recommend his services. Thank you, Mark!

We completed the beginners puppy group class and advance puppy group class. Mark was awesome, he was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout both classes! And very patient with us! He was always checking in and very helpful when any new puppy behaviors came up outside of class and taught us the skills needed to not only train our pup to have good manners but skills to help keep him safe. He definitely knows what he is doing and was always good to my puppy! I would recommend him to anyone!
