We believe that every dog deserves to be treated with respect and kindness, and our training methods following PRAMA principles reflect that belief.

Client Testimonials
Read what our happy clients have to say about our effective and thorough training sessions:
"We would highly recommend Respect Dog Training & Instruction. We contacted Mark to help with our Rescue GSD, Roxy. she was very reactive on lead, to both people and dogs. And also needed help with walking on the lead. Mark helped us through 121 sessions and Dog Sunday School. The change in Roxy's behaviour has been absolutely amazing. Its now a pleasure to take her out. Mark has a really good understanding of dogs, and is passionate about what he does. He has also helped us build a really strong relationship with Roxy. Mark is always available on the phone for any help or advice we may need between sessions. Thank you Mark."
"We have had a really positive experience during the weeks of training. Mark has passed on valuable knowledge and information and his training techniques are effective. Highly recommend Respect Dog Training."
