Our training experience with Marcus was perfect for our family. His guidance provided us consistent interactions with our dogs and proper enforcement. The puppers already did well with the basics, but it was still small potatoes compared to the level we hit with his direction. We learned the importance of doing the homework and to stay on top of the training. Every session was an opportunity to see how well we were doing and then take it to the next level. There is always room for improvement, and we never felt like we were under performing, or bad dog owners. Marcus was always open to share lessons he had learned that closely related to our own experiences and he never made us feel inferior, which was probably the most encouraging thing for us. Nobody is perfect. Each dog has different needs, and Marcus identified their individual personalities and methods to meet our goals. Marcuswas consistently patient and encouraging. We never felt like we failed, even when things didn't work out the way we expected the first time. Our dogs were good, but Marcus helped us learn to work WITH them to create a balanced environment and understand that "perfect" doesn't have to be the goal. We aimed for a happy, cohesive, healthy environment. I cannot express the level of gratitude we have for this experience. 1000% recommend. Working with dogs is one thing. Marcus is really great at working with dogs, but he's also really great working with humans. Again, I cannot express how thankful I am that a friend made the recommendation. This was the best thing we could have done for our family.
