2018 Shelly Martin:
“I thought I would never be able to have my dog, Ruckus, around another dog ever again. He was extremely aggressive towards dogs, and was starting to turn on people too. Mark Thompson (Better Dog Training) was my third, and most likely last, dog trainer. He was Ruckus’ last hope (and mine). The best word to describe what Mark has accomplished with Ruckus, is UNBELIEVABLE! He’s truly a miracle worker. Ruckus is no longer dog-aggressive, he obeys my every command flawlessly and he is finally the perfect companion I always wanted. I HIGHLY recommended Better Dog Training.“ 2017 Faith Dunn:
“Our vet recommended Mark Thompson to us for our super shy/nervous rescue puppy. We have been very pleased with her great progress and are very appreciative. Mark trained us to train her in our own environment(s) and that was a definite plus!“ 2015 Connie Dale:
“My mom adopted a Dachsund-Chihuhua mix that we discovered was very fearful of new people and would attempt to bite anyone unknown to her. We tried to overcome this issue on our own, but had no luck so I contacted Better Dog Training. I worked initially with Mark, but was transferred to Chelsea. Chelsea is totally amazing and worked patiently with me to teach Sophie to overcome her fears and be confident in her interactions. She’s now a very happy dog who greets new people willingly with eye contact and tail wagging that often leads to lap sitting. No harsh methods were ever suggested and all new behaviors were learned solely with positive reinforcement.“ 2003 Krista Kennedy: “After failing out of group class, my vet recommended Dog Training In Your Home.
Our trainer stuck with us until Belle learned everything in the program. Now
she listens completely even with distractions”
2002 Wilburn & Margaret Brewer:
“When I took Louie for his shots the vet commented on how under control and
well behaved he is after your training.
2002 Neal & Suzy Hager:
“They say you get what you pay for. We fell the service goes beyond that, with
the personal one on one” attention you receive. This investment in our dogs has
been worth every penny. I would recommend your program to anyone.”
2001 Peggy Wood:
“I am very happy with the results of the family pet training that I have received.
It was money well spent”
1999 Chris & Barbara Dickerson:
“The time and attention the trainer gave to our six year old daughter in explaining
and demonstrating the ways to handle daisy were greatly appreciated.”
1998 Joe & Laverne Wlech:
“Heather is only six months old, but we now have a well-behaved young lady”
1996 Sheri Lynch (Link Radio Network):
“Best of all, the training was so easy, fun for me and the dogs, and was so
affordable that i can’t believe I ever considered learning to live with their problem behavior.”
1994 R. Matthews:
“After just one lesson with our trainer, I could see a difference in Chelsea.
She not only listened to Commands; she is also very well behaved.
1992 Rick Hendrick (Nascar):
“I was not only impressed with the professional way you trained Gunner Joe,
but also with the love and attention you gave him.”
