Holistic K-9 Solutions

We had an amazing experience with Marcus. Our dog River was a rescue during covid. We quickly noticed her fear and anxiety around strangers in our house, which progressively got worse and worse. We had friends and family who recommended Holistic K9 solutions, so we thought we’d give it a shot. We went with the 7-day accelerator program, and to be honest, we were shocked by the results! She is a different dog—so much happier and full of confidence! This absolutely changed our relationship with our dog for the better. No issues with strangers anymore! We highly recommended Holistic K9 Solutions!

no words can describe how talented and passionate marcus is in what he does with these dogs. i was in contact with marcus when my pup was 5 months old with some concerns towards his shy / timid behavior. i was fearful of fear aggression but zylo was so scared i wasn’t yet ready to send him off - i also didn’t know if it was the best thing for him. marcus helped me over the phone and i started to build my trust with him. i wanted to help my dog on my own , and marcus was so patient with me in my decisions. 9 months later i reached back out to him after countless warnings from the universe that i need some serious help. i met with marcus we spoke for hours and i ended up leaving my pup with him. it wasn’t easy for me - but i KNOW i made the right decision. my dog returned home more loving, happier, and less fearful than i’ve ever seen him before. the entire 3 weeks of zylo there, marcus was sending me pictures , videos, we were on the phone/ texting. i was updated on EVERYTHING. i felt like i was there with him and the time went by truly so fast. i am eternally grateful. i have worked with other trainers and never felt such passion and dedication from them like how marcus is. he was the saving grace my dog and i needed to live a happy and healthy life together.

When Marcus said he could train our two poodles, Khaleesi and Roxy in 7 days. I thought no way, but he did it. We had two problems that needed to be fixed with Roxy. First problem, was for Roxy to stop jumping on our daughter, Michelle's 16 year old dog, Roper. Whenever she saw him. Now, Roxy doesn't jump on Roper. The second problem was my grandson, William. Roxy always gets excited when William comes over and jumps on him. Last time, William came over, he would not get out of the car and refused to come into the house. With Marcus's training and patience it took 1 1/2 hours to talk William out of the car and onto the deck. Then Marcus got William to walk Khaleesi from the kitchen door to the front door and finally into the house. After that he got William to walk Roxy. William who is Autistic stayed the weekend at Grandma and Pop Pop's house. William asked to walk the dogs with Pop Pop and Aunt Lisa and petted the dogs by himself. Grandma is very happy to have her grandson back at her home without William being afraid of her dogs. I think that if you have a special needs child and want a family dog, you should get the dog trainer like Marcus to work with the child and dog to prevent any problems. The Barbour Family

Marcus and Thomas did an amazing training my two 9 month old papillons. I went with the one week at home training. Owning siblings is definitely a harder task teaching obedience and manners. My problems were having them come when called out in my back yard. The other frustrating thing was them digging , eating dirt and putting everything in their mouths & my female with her constant barking. The best thing about at home training I was completely incorporated in the process and was thoroughly taught all about the use of the remotes and 6 commands. When I was finished I felt very comfortable to continue on with their lessons on my own and it’s going great. Thank you again Marcus for your knowledge and expertise. Look forward to the group meetups this summer. Karen
