Leader of the Pack Dog Training, LLC

Sent my very "person/dog" aggressive dog to Mark's live-in training and the results are worth every penny. I can walk my dog downtown, where as before I could barely walk her through my residential neighborhood. He sent pictures of her at least twice weekly and was extremely comforting with every phone call I made to check up on her. He has changed our lives, I can finally give my dog a better life outside of our home.

Just had an excellent and very informative in-person training with Mark. My sweet dog Osa gets a bit nervous around people and dogs and can be very reactive on leash and in public. Mark's techniques and suggestions made a lot of sense and were very approachable and doable for me. He confirmed a lot of techniques I've already been practicing and assured me that Osa's a good dog, we both just need some practice! Overall, Mark was very friendly, responsive and knowledgeable--highly recommend him to anybody looking for help with their pooches!

We cannot thank Mark enough! We adopted JJ, a Saint Bernard rescue, a couple of months ago and enrolled in the Leader of the Pack Foundations Basic Obedience class almost immediately. JJ graduated Sunday and we couldn't be happier with the results. He is a great dog and bonded with us right away. But he was initially very reactive with other people and dogs. Through Mark, we learned that he was being protective because he thought he was the leader of the pack. Once we followed Mark's advice to establish ourselves as the leaders, JJ was able to relax and trust that we would protect him. Now he loves people and he is starting to accept other dogs. We highly recommend Mark and LOTP!

I must say that Mark is a hero in our book! We adopted a very special dog who was taken from his mother at three weeks old. He eas always high energy and a bit different. After a sudden death and then an illness in the family, our dog began biting people. Badly. Horrible bites that required multiple e.r. visits. Our only option was to euthanize our special dog. Then my husband found Mark. Which I am so thankful! Mark took our dog in and we honestly didn't think our dog could be helped. We had zero hope. We visited weekly to see if our dog had progeessed. He needed to learn how to be a dog and not fearful. After a very extended stay, I'm happy to say that our bundle of joy is doing incredibly well! No biting. No fighting with other dogs. Just a great dog! If you feel that there is no hope for your dog, please, please call Mark! He saved our family in so many ways, and will forever be grateful!
