The Canine Counselling Difference
At Canine Counselling, we understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. Our mission is to foster a deep, empathetic bond between you and your canine companion, especially when dealing with challenging behaviours like aggression and reactivity. We take the time to not only understand your dog’s behaviour but also your relationship with your dog.
Group Classes & Puppy Schools
Mark offers group classes for puppies and adolescent dogs. Puppy school is about teaching those young puppies below 14 weeks old all about socialisation and interactions with other dogs. For older dogs beyond the early puppy stage, Mark offers group classes that focus on one topic for each hour-long class. This can be perfect for wanting to improve one issue, without having the expense of a private consultation. Learn about puppy schools and adolescent group classes by clicking the buttons below..
When we know better, we do better.
At Canine Counselling, we build lasting bonds with dogs through empathy and positive reinforcement. We teach good manners, treat dogs as family, and avoid pack leader and punishment, focusing instead on guidance and compassionate support.

EXPERT IN
Dog Aggression Training
Mark is an on-lead aggression specialist, having completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and is a Certified Behaviour Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI-KA). If barking and lunging on lead is an issue, Mark can help. His modern, best practice techniques avoid punishment and outdated dominance concepts. If traditional dominance and pack-leader methods haven’t worked, or don’t resonate with you and how you want to treat your dog, let Mark introduce modern methods that focus on the relationship and avoid the fallout of punishment and absolute control.

Improve negative behaviours such as aggression and lead pulling in the healthiest way possible.
