Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp

I am over-​the-​moon thrilled to have found Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp. Let’s be honest, I’m a neurotic dog-​mom with a BEAUTIFUL lab/​shepherd who is my everything. Sadly, my boy was attacked at a dog park when he was a puppy and he’s been anxious and protective of himself ever since. He always gives warning signs when he doesn’t appreciate other dogs constantly in his face. This resulted in his being misunderstood and subsequently kicked out of several places. It is heartbreaking for me as I see how much my boy loves to play at day care. So when we moved to the area, I was terrified to find a new dog day care for Alfredo. I read all of the reviews online of facilities closer to my house, but Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp has the best recommendations, so I had to try it. Mark (bless his patience!) listened to my sob stories and I think I even cried when I first called — I was that scared telling him that I didn’t know if Alfredo was a bad dog or not. Mark assured me that he understood Alfredo’s tendencies and not to worry. But I was worried nonetheless. Whoa — was that a waste of energy!!! Mark had Alfredo in for temperament testing and I was on pins and needles. When he «passed», Mark assured me that he understood my concerns and that Alfredo would be fine. And I am honestly shocked and grateful beyond words because two months later, Alfredo is totally understood and thriving. I no longer fear a poor report when I pick him up. Mark’s staff is absolutely wonderful with the right amount of firmness while overflowing with love for my Alfredo. I adore them all.
Alfredo attends day care at Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp three times a week and has not had any behavior problems/​poor reports as he has in the past. He’s happier than ever. He comes home exhausted for days. Another important point for me is that he never comes home stinking as he has when he attended other day care facilities. Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp is clean and just wonderful.
I can’t say enough about Tuxedo’s K9 Training Camp on so many levels!!!

I am currently taking my second class with Mark. I took my puppy, Ellie, to his puppy socialization class when she was 3 – 4 months old and Mark was a wonderful help in dealing with general puppy problems. I recently enrolled her in intermediate class and am equally thrilled with this class. Mark is a very positive person with an amazing ability to calm and train any animal. He is always accessible for questions and concerns. I would and do enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for puppy/​dog training classes.
