Honor K9 Dog Training - Temecula, California

Mark is a top notch trainer. I selected him because of his prior detection dog handling experience and I am so glad I did. I feel very lucky to have had his help with my dog, Skinny, who was recently adopted from Animal Friends. Skinny was very sensitive to corrections and Mark adapted his methods to Skinny and helped me really start him off right. He knows sit, walks on a leash perfectly, comes when called (almost perfectly ?) and is learning to stay. We fully intend on using Mark's services again as Skinny becomes more and more comfortable with us. Training with Mark was the perfect way to start though. I can't recommend Mark enough.

I cannot say enough good things about Mark. We have a newly adopted dog that didn’t have much training but was a really good dog.
I was instantly impressed with his positive reenforcement techniques (and not punishment) our dog Charm was shy at first but took to Mark so well and remembered him and what he was taught the last visits.
We did the 4 fast track visits and the price really was the most reasonable and doable from the quotes I had received from others (the others were in the thousands). A bonus was that they were able to schedule us in very quickly. Mark took to the time to talk to us about our home environment and what was most important to us in training.
I would definitely use him again and would recommend him in an instant. If your researching, Mark is your guy. I can’t Thank him enough.

K9 Dog Training truly lives up to its 5-star reputation. My golden retriever, Charlie May, started training with Mark when she was just 10 weeks old. As a first-time puppy owner with no training experience, I was in dire need of expert guidance. Mark has been incredibly patient and skilled throughout the process. By the time Charlie completed her puppy training at 15 weeks, she had made remarkable progress.

Charlie went from struggling with indoor potty training on a fake grass turf to confidently going outside. She also learned to walk on a leash—though she’s still perfecting this skill, she’s made significant improvements. On the very first day of training, I reached out to Mark for advice on crate training, and he provided invaluable tips on choosing high-value treats and handling common issues like chewing and puppy biting and mauling.

K9 Dog Training also keeps you informed with helpful email reminders about your sessions. This training isn’t just beneficial for your pets—it’s a great learning experience for you as well. I’m so impressed with the results that I’m planning to enroll my 5-year-old reactive rescue dog with Mark, with the goal of eventually having both dogs play and walk together.

Thank you, Mark, for all your expertise and support!

I cannot say enough about Mark and his passion for training dogs. Mark is kind, patient and excellent at his craft. I loved the one on one training I had with my rescue pup. It allowed me/us to both learn together and build a trusting relationship. I would highly recommend Honor K9 Dog Training!

Brittney Sharp

It was such a great experience having Mark train our puppy! She loved him from the start and he worked so well with her. He helped with our concerns and taught us so much along the way. Now she’s the happiest, well behaved pup!

I had the pleasure of working with Mark from Honor K9 dog training, and I can confidently say that he's a true professional. From the moment we brought our golden retriever puppy to him, Mark exhibited patience, expertise, and a genuine love for animals. He tailored his training approach to suit our puppy's unique needs, focusing on positive reinforcement techniques that yielded remarkable results. Mark's dedication to his craft is evident in every session, and our puppy's progress is a testament to his skill. Thanks to Mark, we now have a well-behaved and happy companion. I highly recommend Mark and Honor K9 dog training to anyone seeking top-notch training for their furry friends.

I am so grateful to Mark for everything he taught me! He is a master at teaching (both humans & dogs) and his passion for his work is inspiring. Our pupper Roo is off to the very best start in this life thanks to Honor K9!

I chose to do the fast track option for my 16 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He is very friendly and would pull, jump and mouth to say hello. In only 4 lessons his behavior has changed so much. He actually sits for strangers to allow them to pet him. Huge improvement! Mark was such a pleasure to work with and really tailored the lessons to him. We went on field trips so that he could experience new places and distractions. I couldn’t be happier with the training we received from Mark. I’m sure we’ll seek out additional training with him in the future, but for now, I’m thrilled!
