Mark is a miracle worker. We are by no means fixed
but we are already seeing the benefits after 2 days
since Marks visit. I have 2 terriers Bella and Rosco
and Rosco is very anxious which results in difficult
behaviour. Mark diagnosed it, told us what to do
and the humans and the furry friends are starting to
have a more harmonious home. Rosco has picked
things up so quickly and we are on the right path for
all concerned. I cannot thank or recommend Mark
enough. He has changed our lives! A mahoosive
thank you from the humans and an even bigger one
from Bella and Rosco.

A long over due review. We called Mark at Top
Barks dog training to help with aggression issues
(biting&growling), lunging at people/dogs, barking at
strangers and recall work.
When Mark first met Amos he wasn't sure he could
work with him due to his behavior around strangers
however, being the professional that he is he came
up with a plan with Amos and we took it slowly. 30
minutes later Mark & Amos were best friends. Marks
obvious care and devotion to dogs shows
throughout.
One of the most important things about Marks
methods is that he actually teaches US. He doesn't
just come in and say "Sit, Lay Down" He explains
why the behavior occurs, comes up with a strategy
and works through it until you're happy with it. Plus
he's available for follow ups any time.
Amos is a totally different dog today. He's become a
typical friendly boxer full of boxer carachter which is
too much for a lot of people, but thanks to Mark
we're getting the most out of Amos.
A big thank you to Mark.

Nel, my (1 1/2 yr old springer) and I have just
returned home from our first lesson with Mark....we
have done lots of work and training on our own but
hit a sticky point with the shooting season
approaching and tempting pheasants galore!!
Within 5 minutes Mark had us both figured out,
tested our relationship and found our weaknesses.
He then put in place simple, easy to learn, logical,
and most importantly for me, visibly effective steps
and tactics. He was kind, approachable,
professional and extremely patient when it took me
longer to learn the commands than it did Nel to
learn the right behaviour!!! I can't recommend Mark
enough!

Mark is a fantastic trainer. Mark has done a
wonderful job with Bayley and deserves all the
recognition he gets.
