Hi Mark
I sent the dog collar back on Monday by registered post - hopefully
you should have it by now. Could you please let me know again the
cost of one.
Rowdie and Dharmie are doing really well. The 'leave it' command is
like gold. Rowdie is 100% improved in the car - whenever he barks at
cars now all I have to say is leave it and he stops. Thank you so
much for the training.
They are both so much better. I can even have a conversation at the
front gate of our place with neighbours who have dogs now and not be
deafened by Rowdie's barking!!! And our reputation has improved
around the neighbourhood as people are commenting on how good the dogs
are!!!
Of course we are doing all the hard work!!!
Hope it is warmer up there then down here in Sydney - very chilly!!
Thanks again - hope to see you in the next couple of months - planning
a holiday up north so will book the dogs in.
Take care
x

I am pleased to Introduce Mark from Australian Pet Boarding
Mark owns and operates a very professional Dog Training Centre and Pet Boarding facility on the Pacific Highway Between Port Macquarie and Kempsey.
On numerous occasions I have inspected the kennels and cattery and been impressed with the cleanliness and size of the accommodation, the adjoining oversize exercise yards are definitely a bonus that ensures all pets get substantial exercise
Mark regularly runs puppy school at Port Macquarie Veterinary Hospital and continually demonstrates his remarkable ability to communicate with animals.
To observe and experience the techniques Mark uses in training reflects positive results without doubt.
Over the years I have referred many dogs with behavioural problems to Mark, be it aggression, barking, house training, socialising or simply curing bad habits. Mark displays a caring confident way of educating the pet (accompanied sometimes with a few subtle suggestions to assist re-education of the owner) The feed back from clients has always been excellent
Mark lives on site with his own pets and obviously enjoys the lifestyle and job satisfaction that accompanies working with animals.
It is without hesitation I recommend Mark and his team at Australian Pet Boarding to you and wish him well with his new Endeavour,
Australian Pet Cremations.

I can highly recommend Mark and all the staff at Australian Pet Boarding not only for dog boarding but also training and behavioural problems as well.
Both of our dogs stayed with Mark over Christmas, the care was just fantastic and they both came home happy and relaxed. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the kennels and would certainly let our ‘girls’ stay there again.
While they were boarding Mark took the time to work with our Husky ‘Akira’. Since moving from WA last year she was having severe anxiety issues leading to other problems such as constantly escaping and destroying our back door trying to get inside. She was also becoming increasingly aggressive toward other dogs to the point where I didn’t really want to walk her or take her to the beach anymore as it was just too stressful. She was pretty much an unhappy dog.
Mark suggested following up his work by coming along to his training classes. I was a bit hesitant at first imagining us all marching around in a line forcing our dogs to heel, but the classes weren’t like that at all.
The classes were actually fun for both dogs and owners!
It was great to watch the change in the dogs over the course. All were happily following commands and had developed really nice social skills with the other dogs and people, which is what you want in a family pet.
We are still pretty amazed in the change in ‘Akira’, we are now able to have her off-leash with other dogs. She still isn’t perfect but at least we now know how to recognize when a problem might occur and how to correct her before a fight starts. The best bit is she has been able to come off her anti-anxiety medication, and is much more relaxed and affectionate - more like the dog she used to be.
We are also able to revisit the classes at any time to refresh our training or just get more advice which is really helpful.
As a vet people often ask me for advice on boarding kennels, training and behavioural problems. After my experience I have no hesitation in recommending Mark and have had only positive feedback from clients so far.

Since taking over Australian Pet Boarding (formerly Amarena Boarding Kennels and Cattery) in 2007, Mark has made extensive improvements to the facility including the construction of a new cattery and obedience training area, utilisation of skylights to maximum natural lighting, enlarged dog kennels and increased exercise/play-time for the dog at the facility ... all positive changes designed to enrich the animals 'experience' whilst at the
facility.
