About The Business
Mark is currently using the Doggy Dan method of dog training. Fear free. Gentle. My goal is to help every dog be a good citizen and to
make doggie parents proud. We start with the basic commands sit, lay down, stay, come, and walk with me. From there, the sky is the limit…
These classes are about learning commands and being a good citizen… I don’t teach doggie tricks. But I do plan on teaching my new
yellow lab puppy how to do yoga with me.
