What people have asked about this business.

My dog knows the basic so far but still needs work. Does the trainer require anything before he or she starts the lesson?

Not at all. You can send me a friend request if yould like and I’ll send you videos. Mark Lipes

Mark is a super nice guy to talk to, he is professional and know what hes talking about. He helped me and my dog with a lots of problem before the training even started. Thank you mark.

I don’t even know where to begin. I have a 2 year old corgi. She wasn’t trained . She liked to take the kids toys and demolish them. If the kids left the gate open she would run out ( catching her was such a struggle) . We were afraid that one day we wouldn’t be able to catch her. I would have family or friends come over and she was jumping on them constantly. Took her to get groomed and the vets and they both complained of my dog’s”dark side”. I found Mark when I was looking through the reviews for a dog trainer. I liked what I read. I called him and set it up. He explained the process to me. The problem was when I took my corgi to the vet. The dr was infuriated that I would put my dog through such “abuse”. I immediately called Mark. He said he wanted us to be comfortable and didn’t force us into it. He did take the time to explain to hysterical me how the ecollar worked. I understood and took my corgi to him. He showed me how the ecollar was. I felt it . I understood! I am so grateful that i went to Mark. He kept us updated with multiple videos a day. He was patient, and loving with my corgi! Mark was also patient in teaching me how to continue training her once we got home. I can’t express enough my gratitude to Mark. My corgi is completely different! She walks right next to us !! We can even let go of the leash and she stays with us. My corgi is in the front yard and doesn’t run off. I have friends and family come over and they are impressed. My kids are enjoying her so much more. And I haven’t seen her pick up any of the kids toys. (That in itself is a miracle) . She has become so well behaved. I owe Mark so much!!! Again, thank you isn’t enough !!! Please know I was so scared of sending my corgi, but I would do it again in a heart beat!! I most positively recommend Mark!!! You won’t regret it!!!

Highly highly recommend! I had a very leash reactive dog (would freak out when she saw other dogs) and now we can go for walks no problem. Truly changed our lives! I was getting so discouraged and nothing seemed to be working in changing her behavior, but after a week with him she was like a whole new dog. I truly cried happy tears after being able to take her out for walks again without having to worry about her embarrassing tantrums. He helps put you in charge and really gets your dog to listen to you. Also he's super great about keeping you updated and sending you videos of their training progress. Worth every penny!

My 5 month old pug puppy recently spent a week with Mark. When she went to Mark’s, she was a leash puller. She would also play nip at my young son, and antagonize both my cat and my geezer pug. Now she’s calm. She’s focused on me and my commands to her. She can even go on walks without a leash (with the assistance of an e-collar, which Mark put me at ease about using). She isn’t barking. She goes to her bed upon entering the house. It’s really amazing. Mark was excellent with his communication and instruction. I couldn’t be happier with his training of “Little D” (the nickname Mark gave Daphne :) )

I had Mark train my two golden doodles, 1 year and the other 6 months old and the results of his training are amazing! My 6 month old would pull on the leash and I could not walk him without him fighting the leash or barking at every dog and human that would walk by. My 1 year old would run out of the house and not come back when called. These behaviors have majorly improved and I am amazed! I am able to walk them without their leashes, give commands and they respond and trust that they will listen and follow my lead. Mark was amazing and sent many videos every day to show me updates of their progress which made me feel more reassured my pups were in good hands. He also respected the fact that my pups got everything stuck in their fur and made sure to work with them in areas that would keep fox tails out of their fur. I appreciated this very much! I would recommend anyone who is having any difficulty training their pups to go to Mark!
