We sent our five year old American Eskimo for a week of Mark’s training, and it changed everything.
The Problem: Barking, Lunging, and Stress at Home
Before DognPooch our dog barked out of control at every sound outside our door. He barked for a full minute whenever we’d have visitors. He would go ballistic on our neighbor and even nipped her once. While on leash he would unpredictably lunge aggressively at other dogs. Sometimes he would listen when we called him inside, but only when it felt convenient to him.
We couldn’t take him to crowded beaches or busy streets. He was a source of stress and anxiety.
The Training Plan: One Week Board & Train
Mark took the first day to bond with him and orient him to his new environment. During the week I got multiple video updates every day — where he took him, what training he was doing, how he was improving.
We worked on:
• Off-leash obedience
• “Leave it” command
• Quieting on command
• No reaction to other dogs on leash
• Staying with me off-leash, even with distractions like cats
The Result: A Calm, Confident Companion
After just one week with Mark:
• He barely barks when even the UPS guy delivers packages. He quiets immediately when we tell him to.
• All I have to say is “leave it” and he ignores whatever he was focused on.
• He doesn’t react to other dogs while on leash. Off-leash he stays right with me.
• Now I can take him everywhere I had hesitated to before — crowded beaches, busy tight streets, places where dogs are off-leash: no problem!
“Our dog is now a source of joy rather than a source of stress and anxiety. We are two months post training and our dog only seems to improve. So grateful for Mark! He gave us the dog we always wanted.”
Could Your Dog Be Next?
