Hawkins Happy Hounds

This is the first time in almost 3 years I’ve felt comfortable walking my own dog on my own let alone feeling like I have a bond with my own dog. Marc went for a walk around the field with us and didn’t just explain but showed me what I needed to do and look out for. He eased my anxiety and gave me plenty to work on with Padds that made it a fun game and gave the dog a real mental work out, but also things that were simple for me to understand and get used to.

Nell, my German Shepherd, and I had a great training session with Marc. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, helping me achieve a greater understanding of meeting her needs. I now feel more confident handling her and have developed an even closer bond with her. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a caring and skilled dog trainer. 

We just finished our very first training session with Marc, and we couldn’t be happier! He was patient, kind, and immediately put Rufus at ease. In just one session, Marc gave us simple, clear tools to help Rufus listen better and stay focused, and we could already see Rufus responding so well.

We also appreciated how Marc took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense and gave us confidence to keep practicing at home. It’s obvious he really understands dogs and loves what he does. We are all excited for the next session — highly recommend Marc!

I have known Marc for many years on a professional level. We have 2 Springer Spaniel pups and needed some extra guidance in heel work and recall, so booked a training session with Marc. He taught us as well as the dogs, and they both loved him. He was patient with all of us and having a place of safety to be able to train the dogs was fab. No harmful techniques used, just good old positive fun that the dogs really responded to. would highly recommend
