Behaviour & Obedience Consultations
With over 44 years of experience in dog training and behaviour, I provide private consultations designed to help you and your dog achieve balance, understanding, and clear communication. Each consultation is tailored to your specific needs, focusing on both the behaviour of your dog and the role you play in shaping it. Whether you’re looking to strengthen obedience, improve behaviour, or build a more harmonious relationship, I offer guidance that is practical, effective, and grounded in real-world experience.
For new puppy owners, I provide comprehensive support in setting the right foundation from day one — helping you establish routines, boundaries, and socialisation skills that promote confidence and stability. A well-guided start leads to a well-balanced, well-behaved dog and a much smoother journey ahead.
My speciality lies in behaviour rehabilitation for dogs with more complex issues such as aggression, reactivity, or anxiety. Using a calm, balanced approach, I work to uncover the underlying causes of behaviour rather than simply managing the symptoms. The goal is lasting change — giving you the tools and understanding to confidently maintain progress long after our sessions are complete.

In-home - Behavioural Consultations
IN-HOME BEHAVIOURAL CONSULTATIONS WILL CEASE AS OF 15 FEBRUARY - ALL BEHAVIOURAL CONSULTATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT VICTORIA FALLS RANCH.
I am available to visit your home and assist with any behavioural concerns you may have with your dog. Common issues addressed include, anxiety, aggression, lead pulling, excessive barking, separation stress, destructive behaviour, jumping up, reactivity, resource guarding, over-excitement, hyper-arousal, and fear or any stress or anxiety related behaviours.
The initial consultation is two hours in duration. This allows sufficient time for a thorough assessment of your dog’s behaviour, their relationship with you and your family, and their responses to visitors and the home environment. Gathering this information is essential in order to identify underlying motivations, triggers, and contributing factors behind your dog’s behaviour.
Following the assessment, Mark will provide clear guidance, practical strategies, and tailored training techniques designed to address the specific issues identified. The goal is to strengthen communication between you and your dog, establish calm and consistent interactions, and support a more balanced and harmonious relationship within your household.
