"Marquis is beyond knowledgeable, confident, and loving towards all dogs. He sent us video updates every single day, multiple times a day, and really poured love into our puppy! We were truly shocked when we came to pick her up after her board and train — she had a whole new set of manners and skills! I feel confident after picking her up that we will be able to transition her smoothly back into our home." - Emma
"Our dog Sooner, an 8 month old chocolate lab desperately needed training! He had little to no manners and was a wild and crazy puppy at times. Marquis had Sooner for the 2 week board and train program. My husband and I were a little nervous at first because it felt like sending your child off to camp without any contact. Those worries quickly stopped because we got multiple text, photo and video updates every day from the early morning until bedtime. Having those updates and seeing the progress each day was amazing! The training he received was awesome. We picked Sooner up today for our training session with Marquis and he seriously performed training magic with our dog! He was extremely patient, explained everything thoroughly to us and made us feel comfortable" - Julie
"Marquis taught us much more than our planned weekly lessons. He was full of training tips, tricks, and other ideas to keep our dog engaged and for us to be able to live a more enjoyable life with our dog. He is always smiling, has a calm demeanor and was SO KNOWLEDGABLE! He helped us work through issues we were having with our dog and every lesson was tailored to our specific dog. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Marquis. We are so thankful for the experience we had and are confident to continue our training journey. Thank you Marquis for “training us” to be able to help Hudson." - Josef
"He knew some basic commands beforehand but I wanted to be confident with those commands. I also wanted him to walk well on leash as he gets bigger and come to me if he is off leash. We had Marquis as a trainer. He was great! It’s tough being away from your dog for 2 weeks but Marquis sent me multiple pictures/videos everyday with updates on his progress. My favorite pic was of Nelson on a tractor! When I picked Nelson up, he still had his goofy & lovable personality but he was also well behaved. Marquis spent time reviewing the commands and teaching me how to work with Nelson. Marquis’ calm personality and voice were encouraging and set the tone for the session. Nelson was a smart dog before training but now we both have the tools to continue learning and hopefully become a therapy dog." - Shawn
"Marquis was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We were a little apprehensive to send our dog away, but we truly cannot recommend him enough. He updated us multiple times each and everyday with messages, photos, and videos and treated our dog as his very own. Our American Bully, Apollo, (9 mo. old) went through a 2 week board & train and came back as a brand new and improved dog. He is a naturally animal-reactive dog but now remains unbothered and focused on us rather than the external stimuli / distractions. He has door manners, no longer lunges or pulls on his leash, can be trusted to walk completely off-leash, is an expert on his commands, and is now the quintessential “perfect” dog. We could not be happier with our results and couldn’t be more thankful for Marquis. Thank you, Quis!" - Abbie
"I waited a couple days before writing a review just to make sure this program worked…and IT DID…!! Big thank you to Marquis (Dover area). Great communication throughout the two weeks on boarding, which we loved. The communication included videos, messages and updates of everyday plans and schedule. Marquis helped us understand that not only Melo needed training but so did we. We learned to be consistent and calm with our boy Melo." - Raquel
"Marquis is simply outstanding on all levels. He took my 9 month old cane corso and transformed him in a good way, my dog is trained and listens. Marquis is very professional and kept my family updated on Creed’s progress throughout the course of him being with him. Very thankful and appreciative for a trainer like Marquis." - Alicia
"Amazing results from the 2 week board and train! ...our dog can live a better life. Our 3 year old German Shepard was easily distracted outdoor, pulled on the leash, and was very nervous around other people and dogs, it became hard to even take her on a walk around the block. In just two weeks, she has become so much more confident and obedient and now we can feel confident bringing her anywhere. Marquis gave us daily updates, photos and videos, answers to all of our questions, and overall great communication. He treated our dog like his own and we are so thankful." - Skyler
"I was at the end of my rope with my Shepherd. She was wild , out of control, a jumper & biter would not listen. Just taking her to the vet was a nightmare she was horrible on leash... Marquis kept in constant communication, videos updates and instructions. He spent a lot of time training me to control her we practiced in the store just amazed. She responded to him. She had total respect for him. The videos showed how well behaved she was always watching him. After 2 weeks I got back a well mannered behaved dog. Marquis is a not only a great trainer but he totally relates to dogs and their temperaments. It’s a comfort knowing my pup was in good hands and getting lots of love💜💜" - Kim
"I recently welcomed an American Bully “Thorr” into my home and he was a little too reactive for me. After watching Marquis work so many other dogs I knew he was the man for the job. I signed Thorr up for the 2 week board and train and the results are amazing. My dog has manners, listens and reacts when told. Marquis kept me updated every day with texts,pictures and videos that let me know what Thorr was learning . EVERY day it was progress. In 14 days Marquis accomplished what some trainers take 3 months to teach." - Cennica
"We signed our 9 month old english lab up last minute for the 2 week board and train, I was hesitant and very emotional as I only had a few days to prepare, we are always together and I just didnt want Hal to think I abandoned him. We were in constant contact with our trainer Marquis and Hal adores him. It was the best decision we have made for our pup. He needed manners and some consistent commands. He got that and so much more. I cannot wait to share his progress from home. Marquis went above and beyond his "job" as Hal has learned and grown so much from him, Marquis didn't just treat Hal like a "client" but he treated Hal like his own. We will forever be greatful to Marquis and plan to keeping him in Halligans life" - ❤❤ Rodney, Teri and Hal
"Marquis was very professional in how he handled the dogs from the time we dropped them off for the two- week board and train To the time handed them back to us. Every step of the training journey was well documented in the daily updates of the dogs while in his care. Additionally, he provided notes and study materials on the training provided..." -Joan
"All we can say is WOW! He did an amazing job with our dogs. They heel nicely, sit, lay down, place where we put them and best of all come when called! What an awesome investment we made for our dogs. One of the coolest things about this experience was all the daily videos and pictures that Marquis made and sent us. How did he have time to make videos let alone train our dogs. He’s one of a kind. It was awesome to be able to follow along and see the progress. We highly recommend!!" -Trey
"From the outset, Marquis demonstrated an unparalleled level of care and dedication. His passion for what he does is evident in every interaction. Marquis took the time to understand Abby's unique personality and tailor the training program to her specific needs. In just two weeks, we witnessed Abby hitting all the desired milestones we had set. The progress was not only impressive but also reflective of Marquis' expertise. His patient and positive approach made the training sessions enjoyable for Abby, and we could see the bond forming between them. What sets Marquis apart is not just his knowledge but also his genuine love for the dogs he trains. He went above and beyond to ensure that Abby felt comfortable and safe throughout the training process. Marquis not only trained Abby but also provided us with valuable insights and techniques for continued success at home. Advice to Dog Parents: If you're on the fence about investing in dog training, let me share a piece of advice - it's one of the best decisions you can make for both you and your furry friend. The benefits extend beyond obedience; it strengthens the bond between you and your dog, enhances their well-being, and ensures a harmonious life together. The transformation we've witnessed in Abby is priceless, and the investment in training is an investment in a happier, healthier life for your dog. The investment was undoubtedly worth it!" - Gary & Kim
"Her trainer was Marquis, and he was wonderful! He sent daily photos, videos and updates on her training, as well as homework for my family to prepare for her return home. The work and care that he put into her training was very obvious from the moment we saw her. He has been so helpful with tips and assistance to meet with my whole household as we work through her commands and training at home. I would recommend this program for anyone looking to get their dogs to be obedient the first time!" -Janelle
"Before the two week board and train our dog, Durk, was very unfocused, little to no attention span and ran the show. After training with the amazing Marquis for two weeks, Durk is a completely new and improved doggo. Throughout the two week session we were updated with pictures and videos every step of the way, the communication was great and very clear on what we could expect and how we could implement and continue with everything Durk was learning!" -Alexa
"Sugar is a WEIMARANER and Marquis trained her for two weeks. I picked her up yesterday afternoon and she’s a different dog! Marquis really did a great job and is kind and patient and really knows what he is doing! He answered my hundreds of questions and taught me a lot! Sugar stayed with him in his home with his family for two weeks. He took her to dinner at restaurants and Walmart, Home Depot, and lots of parks! He even tucked her in at night!" -Dawn
"I sent my 6 month Pomsky Cinnamon for training with Marquis. We did a one week board and train. He sent frequent updates with pictures and videos and kept me informed on her day to day achievements. She obviously loved Marquis, and it shows that he treated her like he would treat his own pet." -Rachele
"Leash aggression was a huge issue for me and in the beginning I was not sure which training program to choose, but I was recommended to do the 8 week aggression training where I go and train with my dog. Marquis is amazing! Marquis not only was so patient, caring, and knowledgable with my Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd Koda, but he was so beyond encouraging and comforting with me in our learning process. Extremely thankful for the time he’s taken to help us both improve over our 8 weeks of training! I am excited to say I now can confidently walk past any dog on our walks thanks to this program." - Brianna
"I felt comfortable leaving Biggie with Quis, and before I knew it, Quis shared training video after training video and picture after picture --documenting every bit of Biggie's journey. I watched my Biggie-boy maintain his puppy personality, while learning how to be obedient. Biggie now obeys the commands... These commands have helped me to be alpha for my Biggie. Quis' training has allowed me to communicate in a way that is tempered and measured. Biggie now "places" in his crate without protest or dissatisfaction, when he has never really used a crate. Biggie now walks the neighborhood at "heel" on a loose leash, when he used to literally take the leash in his mouth to walk "me" back to the house. Biggie now waits for me to walk into any space while obediently maintaining a "sit," and he will not move a muscle until I give him the command" -Michelle
"We got lucky enough to have Marquis as our trainer and could not have asked for a better fit. He was patient with Rango, as he is an older dog and very stubborn. Before training Rango struggled with listening, recall, and walking nicely. After training Rango is doing much better with walks, following commands, and coming when called. Overall we enjoyed our experience with Marquis. We loved getting all the update videos/ messages to show us he was learning and that he was safe. We are very grateful for Marquis and the work he put in with Rango." - Emily
"My dog was so unmindful when we would take a walk. Yanking me, pulling me, tripping me….it was a hot mess! I signed him up with Marquis and off he went for 2 weeks. I received messages and videos daily with updates. Met him today at Lowes and got a training session of my own. True test is home without Marquis…I was impressed at the store so now to do a 2 1/2 mile walk with LeeRoy in my busy dog filled development! He did excellent after a few commands!" - Ginger
