Tricked Out Pup

Finley has been a part of Mark and Jim’s pack for the last 2.5-3 years until we moved recently to the suburbs. We first engaged Mark to help train Finley with off leash recall when he was a puppy, and my husband and I learned so much not only about honing in on recall specific skills, but also understanding Finley’s behaviors. Since then, we slowly added on regular walking but shifted quickly to daycare when tricked out pup officially opened in the south end. Even during his early walks, Finley would be so excited to go and exhausted when he came back. During daycare, Mark and Jim would send us regular videos and pictures of Finley with his friends. What I appreciated most was the structure of the daycare. The day is balanced between exercise (indoor play, outdoor play, walks) and training (agility, basic commands) to reinforce good behaviors. I also knew that Finley was safe with them - tricked out pup vets each dog they take in for day care, and they only take 20-25 dogs a day with 3+ humans on staff so there’s a good ratio to watch the dogs and give individual attention to each. They picked up and dropped off at our apartment complex as well which was a great plus. But beyond all of these specific “offerings”, the best part is that Mark and Jim have so much love for Finley, and over the years have truly become part of our family. I cannot recommend them enough for training or day care needs if you’re around the south end area!!

Mark was wonderful with my dog Frieda! I took her to him for teenager training 😂 and he was great. He understood how best to work with her and how to teach me in a way that I was able to replicate at home. She learned so much and loved going to Tricked Out Pup for her classes - and always wants to stop and say hi when we pass him on the street. And he always remembers her! Highly recommend for personalized training.

I cannot recommend Mark and Tricked out pup enough! My puppy went from a barky puppy that didn’t know what to do to an obedient puppy! People are impressed with how well he behaves for his age. Mark went above and beyond my expectations. Outside of our sessions he checked in regularly with me and offered help and solutions beyond the scope of obedience training. Jamo was barking a lot and struggling with the crate and mark was available every step of the way. It’s clear how much he loves and cares about dogs! I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a great trainer or daycare!
