Mark and Jen took my very stubborn, aggressive French bulldog into their live-in program for 6 weeks. My dog had a history of biting dogs.. After 3 weeks of training it was looking like my reactive pup would never be able to be off leash with other dogs but Mark was determined to try. His knowledge and persistence led to a breakthrough and now my dog is able to be off leash in supervised play dates. This has changed our lives and I'm so incredibly thankful for the service I was provided. I would recommend Leader Of The Pack to anyone who is feeling like their dog's aggression my be a lost cause, or if you simply need some boundaries drawn. Thank you Mark 😊 I can't wait for dez to have a follow up and show you how well she can maintain her newly acquired social skills.

We opted for an in-home training session with Mark, and it went better than we could've imagined! Mark is instantly able to navigate the environment and provide immediate feedback on how to approach persistent issues. It's only been a few days so far, but by applying what Mark taught us we've seen incredible improvement with both of fur babies. Would absolutely recommend.

I searched the internet for someone to help train me to train my 1 year old Goldendoodle. I found Mark with Leader of the Pack. He came over and we got to work right away. He explained why some other approaches than what I was using would be better. In the 1.5 hours he was over, we saw improvements and learned techniques that have continued to help some. Great guy. Great expertise!!

Mark really knows his stuff! Just one meeting with Mark really helped our new rescue who had aggression towards other dogs. He's easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable and will make sure you know exactly what's needed to help your situation. Thank you Mark!

LOTP is great! Mark is very good at training both you and your dog so that you have the best dog possible. I have done his Rescue Redo package as well as boarding my dog at LOTP. Classes are great. He teaches you how to reward and correct your dog and how to build the behaviors that everyone wants in a dog. Boarding is amazing! On site care and training! After a week with Mark, my dog was definitely better than when I dropped him off. Already have 2 more stays planned and more in the future! Can't say enough good things about LOTP.
