Mark Singer, has over 43 years of hands-on experience in professional dog training and behaviour rehabilitation. He is returning from time spent in Vietnam helping dog owners.

From Military Service to Civilian Expertise

Mark’s career began in 1980, when he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a police dog handler. Over the next 12 years, he rose through the ranks to become a specialist dog trainer, responsible not just for working dogs, but also for training and supervising other handlers. His military career set a strong foundation in obedience, discipline, and real-world application of canine behaviour.

During his time in the RAAF, Mark became a narcotics detection dog trainer, playing a key role in the fight against illegal drug use within the military. His expertise was recognized and used extensively by Australian Customs, the Australian Federal Police, and various state police forces, making him a go-to trainer in high-stakes operations.

After leaving the military, Mark was invited by Australian Quarantine Inspection Services to help establish their Quarantine Detection Dog Program—a cornerstone of the country’s biosecurity strategy. Once the program was successfully launched, he transitioned into civilian life and launched his own dog training business in 1996, offering behaviour and obedience services to the general public. He’s been doing so ever since.

A Trusted Leader in Dog Behaviour

Mark’s approach is grounded in science-based training methods that focus on emotional stability, clarity, and long-term behaviour change. Whether working with high-drive working dogs or nervous family pets, his ability to read, understand, and reshape behaviour is what sets him apart.

He is government-accredited and respected internationally for his work, with a career that spans law enforcement, national biosecurity, and over two decades of private practice. Mark works with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioural backgrounds, always tailoring his methods to suit the individual dog and the goals of the owner.
