Pet Boarding Training in San Luis Obispo

“Mark got our family dog off to a great start quick and seamless. I had a lot of questions which he answered thoroughly. He provides videos that are useful after his training. I would use his services again in a heartbeat.“

“It has been one year since our visit to Steener Creek animal Hospital, and we couldn’t be happier with both the care we received and the results of our dog’s ear cropping. The ears have healed beautifully, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. The service we experienced as patients was excellent from start to finish. We truly appreciate the team’s professionalism and care.

We’ve included some updated photos to share how great everything looks now.“

“My Whippet/Pit mix is a sweet and responsive girl. With her desire to please me, we did great together with positive reinforcement training, however everything literally went out the door as soon as she knew she was going outside. Her prey drive is off the charts and was unmanageable on walks - to the point of being dangerous for both her and me. I contacted Mark to work with us to manage her prey drive, even with my initial reluctance to use an e-collar. We discussed his methods at length and he let me experience the e-collar for myself. After a week of working with Mark, I now have new capabilities to walk and go on adventures with my dog safety - and we can enjoy ourselves. Now that Mark has worked with her, the rest is up to me to maintain what she has learned. This ended up being a successful way to go, given her challenges. And I'm grateful. One thing that impressed me right away about Mark is that he took the first day with my dog to orient her to her new environment and spent time bonding with her. Each day of her training, he sent videos of where he took her, what training he was engaged in with her and how she was doing - multiple times a day, keeping me informed. Any questions I had, he responded to immediately. Finally, I was given training on the techniques and tools so I am able to maintain and continue her training. She has responded very well to Mark and his training process! In fact, I think she fell in love with him :-) I have no hesitations to continue working with Mark if any further support is needed.“
