The Polite Dog

Mark has been a tremendous help to my whole family. Before we met Mark, both of my dogs were struggling with reactivity on walks and some demand barking in the home. My dogs immediately took to Mark and he was able to work on these behaviors to create more enjoyable walks and more peace in the home. He is very knowledgeable and kind, with a calming presence for both pets and people. He has given our family tools and techniques to be successful and also to deepen our connection and communication with our pets. I feel so lucky to have found Mark and to have benefited from his help. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mark has an exceptional relationship with dogs. One example stands out among many. While walking through a crowded area near the concessions at Great Falls Park, a stream of people were passing a Retriever type of dog on the way back to the main path. The dog was uninvolved with every person walking by until they saw Mark. The dog lifted its head, perched up its ears and began wagging it tail. Mark reached out his hand in passing and the dog looked as if Royalty or a Celebrity had walked past. I saw this happen and have witnessed Mark's interactions with numerous dogs over the years. He has a consistent connection that is unique and quite special. I highly recommend Mark to you for your dog training needs with absolutely no reservation. Your dog may meet a knowledgeable kindred spirit able to show them the way to becoming- A Polite Dog.
