Looking to build a better relationship with your dog? Mark is happy to be partnering with Victoria Falls Ranch to conduct this very informative and friendly 6-week group training program.  Mark, who has over 44 years professional experience, and is highly regarded and respected internationally.

What your dog will learn during this class

How to teach your dog to:

  • behave and be calm and responsive to you around other dogs & people

  • walk by your side and calm free walking in close proximity of other dogs and people

  • sit, down/drop, stay and come, and to respond around distractions

  • go to place/bed and remain there until released

We also discuss and demonstrate learning theory and different methodologies, and also basic dog behaviour and psychology, to assist you to understand your dog better.

​

Mark will also offer guidance on common behavioural issues such as: on-lead reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fears, insecurity, over-excitement, anti-social behaviour and any other behavioural issues that are concerning you, and help you work through any issues.
