Mac is an incredible dog trainer. He made my son feel completely comfortable from the moment we arrived and gave us valuable, practical advice that we could use straight away. He's kind, friendly, and truly professional. We would highly recommend SK9 Training World and are even considering doing the residential training! Thank you Mac!
Following an in-depth phone call I took our Romanian rescue Lord for his assessment. Mac was so kind, insightful and knowledgeable. Came away feeling very positive and at the beginning of the process of helping Lord with his fears and improving my skills.
Our dog Diego was having separation anxiety issues as well as some selective hearing when it came to his commands. Following a 2 week stay with Mac, we have observed a noticeable improvement. The best part of Mac's training though was how he trained us!
