The transformation in our dog’s behaviour in such a short time has been incredible! Within just one week of implementing Mark’s recommendations, we have a completely different dog. He is calmer, more settled and regulated, and we finally have our sleep back!

Mark is patient, clear and upfront about his approach. He takes the time to explain not just what to do, but why it works, providing just the right amount of detail without overwhelming you.

For anyone struggling with a reactive dog, I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. He hasn’t just helped change our dog’s behaviour, he has completely changed the way we understand and respond to him. The difference this has made to our dog’s wellbeing and the peace in our home is something we genuinely cannot put a price on. We only wish we had found Mark sooner!

We contacted Mark to help with our 9-month-old Groodle, Tina, who was barking at every little noise and constantly jumping on the kitchen bench and dining table.

Honestly, we couldn’t believe the difference after just 2 hours! Mark managed to fix both issues in one session and also helped us with her pulling on the lead.

He’s extremely knowledgeable, explains everything clearly and gives you practical techniques that actually work. What we also really appreciate is how available he is after the session, always happy to answer questions and offer advice whenever we need it.

We’re so glad we contacted him and would definitely recommend Mark to anyone needing help with their dog!

I am so, so glad we chose Sydney Dog Trainer. Mark was fantastic. Our dog, Misha, had two issues we needed help with.

The first was reactivity to things like bikes. Mark’s advice improved this within the session, and it hasn’t been an issue since. I’m 100 times more confident, and it has reduced my stress levels enormously.

The second issue was fear of certain areas. We have no idea why it started, but Misha's reaction is extreme. Even Mark was unsure why it was happening, but he was so patient and willing to try different approaches. We eventually figured out the right approach to help Misha face his fears. Even though we all expected this issue to take a while to resolve, we’ve already seen huge improvements in just a few days of following his advice.

Best money we’ve ever spent. A single day of training has saved us 12 years of stress, and Misha is happier and calmer than ever.

Mark was amazing with our dog today. Very patient and explained and demonstrated very clearly and ensured we understood the reasons behind what he was teaching us as well. 10/10. It was amazing to see how our dog responded. Very highly recommend. Great value for what you and your dog get out of it

Mark is really amazing, we were flabbergasted with the change in Ben in such a short amount of time. The tools that he gave us to work with our rescue dog Ben's reactive behaviours have set us up to make a lasting change.

Mark has given us additional one on one time with our two headstrong dachshund puppies to demonstrate to us the strategies on having them comfortably walking on a lead. We now have a better idea on the importance of space around the dogs, how to cope with distractions, and the competitive nature of two brothers of the same litter.  Mark’s insight into dog behaviour is impressive and we are looking to provide him with feedback on how well we are progressing with our training.  Thanks Mark.

We engaged Mark and Linda from Sydney Dog Trainer to help our newly adopted Havanese adjust to her new life. She was very stressed on a leash, wouldn’t leave the house and was very scared of strangers.

After one session, our Havanese was able to leave the house and started going on walks. Thereafter, we’ve been seeing her go from strength to strength. She now loves going on walks and gets so excited when we bring out the leash.

Thanks to Mark and Linda for helping us (and Zoe our new family member!)

Mark is exceptional. We sought help with our 1 year old Jack Russel for numerous behavioural issues and within 2 hours of being guided how to train her we could see a big improvement. Mark has the skills to train you as a pet owner in order to train your dog.  He has given us the skills to support our dog and the results are incredible. Mark has also provided ongoing support, he was happy to answer any follow up questions. All of our issues have resolved and we couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend Mark.

Huge thanks to Mark from The Sydney Dog Trainer for spending two hours with us and Sirus.

Within about three minutes, Mark had our 22kg, 9-month-old Staffy wrecking ball actually listening to commands, something we were starting to think might require an exorcism!

The difference a few simple techniques made was incredible. The slightly painful discovery was that Sirus wasn’t the only one being trained.

Apparently, the humans needed work too.

Mark explained everything clearly and showed us how much consistency, timing and communication matter. Now it’s up to us to keep it going and stop Sirus reclaiming his role as Managing Director of Chaos.

Thanks again Mark. We all learned a huge amount and could see the improvement almost immediately.

One question remains:

Has Sirus been capable of listening all along and simply chosen not to? 😂🐕

Linda came out for a puppy training session and we were really pleased with her and the results. She held a detailed session and demonstration with left us with lots of knowledge and guidance around the next few months of training and settling our puppy in!

We are so happy to have found Mark. He sorted out years of problems efficiently and clearly. We have now been practicing his plan for 5 days and it’s definitely working (underneath all his psycho barking we knew we had the best dog)!
