TestimonialsGood Morning, Mark! Linda Merriman & Baron (Basset Hounds)
I have raised dogs my whole life and have always had well trained dogs. When I got my current Australian Shepherd, I grew very discouraged as she was the most strong willed dog I have ever encountered. Mark helped me immeasurably! With every challenging behavior problem, he would tailor a training program for the specific behavior. He gave me hope that I would eventually have a good dog. He even talked me out of getting rid of my dog and now I am so thankful I didn't because she is my best friend! I continue to call on Mark with questions for behaviors that might pop up and he is continually creative in helping me tackle new challenges. Sometimes I think he loves my dog as much as I do! You are the best at what you do!! THANK YOU!! Nan Edens & Fergie (Australian Shepherd)
I just really wanted to thank you for your assistance in training our new Yellow Lab puppy Bailey. It was a great help to learn the commands early and how to train him before he starts chewing on everything and digging up the yard. So far so good and he really took the command leave it. We aren't having any problems as of yet so thanks again for showing us the way to a Harmonious dog home!!! Renee Page and Bailey (Yellow Lab)
Mark, I was amazed at how well Ivy & Wrigley did after you left. I decided I wanted me to run through the exercises with them and then have John do it again separately to make sure the dogs are responding to both of us and they are getting it...they don't get "take" yet...they finally got "leave it" and won't touch the treats but then when I say "take" they look at me like they aren't sure what they are allowed to do. However, I guess I did extra credit homework last night...I found these 3 foot rawhide bones and put down each of their mats in the living room and made them see the bones, then I put them in the kitchen and took the dogs to their "place" and made them sit and when they tried to move I'd keep telling them to "sit"
in their "place"...gave them their bones and Wrigley at first tried getting out of his spot about 3 times but I kept at it and we enjoyed our first movie without the dogs bothering us. :) They stayed on their spots the whole time...I was amazed. :) Joia Friedrich
Doggie Steps, unlike any other obedience/training venue, comes to your home and works with the dog/owner in their own environment to see the interaction firsthand. Mark, our new best friend with Doggie Steps, explained the techniques in a way that was easy to follow and understand. I observed noticeable results by the end of each training session. I have been able to use the training techniques every day. It's not the dogs who are learning, it's me. I've learned how to communicate with my dogs as well as how to make their lives with us a healthier one. I was pleased with the natural training techniques used by Mark/Doggie Steps. The training experience was interesting, fun, and enjoyable. Sunny and Jack definitely looked forward to their weekly sessions with Mark. Thank you Mark/Doggie Steps!
Mark, We also have a male Wheaton, Murphy, just a couple of months younger who has been to a series of obedience classes. Besides leaving her home of over two years, her life with us was anything but routine. I drove with her and Murphy from our home in Edmonton , Alberta to our home in Chandler at the beginning of February. A new experience for all of us! We did not trust Gucci enough to give her much freedom within the house and definitely not outside of the home or the fenced yard. We did not open the door without getting a hold of her for fear that she would bolt and not respond to our commands. We put her on a leash to go from the house to the car. However, now after just a couple of lessons with Mark and DOGGIE STEPS she does not try to run out an open door and she will walk to the car with me without a leash. She has learned quickly to sit when asked and is quickly responding to the commands “down,” “stay” and “come”. I would recommend Mark and DOGGIE STEPS Dog Training to all my friends!! Dear Mark,
