Why Families Trust K9 Citizens Club
Training with Marcus was such A great experience. I have had several dogs in my life, but this newest dog needed me to step up my game. Now our household is back to being comfortable and under control, and we are looking forward to the future of taking our little Staffy with us wherever we may travel.

Marcus started training Maverick when he was 10 week old and we couldn't be happier with the results. We get compliments anytime we go out in public. Marcus is patient and very kind during our sessions. We just finished our last training session and will be extended our training to incorporate protection training. We highly recommend Marcus!
- Tanya Fox
Had an amazing experience training with Marcus! He's very patient and knowledgeable and really helped me and my dog learn the skills we need to be able to handle any situation. My dog was very reactive and anxious before but now he's a totally different pup! I couldn't have done it without this training. Highly recommend!!

I had just purchased a new Cardigan Corgi pup that was skittish, scared, leery of nearly everything. I knew I wanted to develop a good rapport between myself and her (I needed training just as much as she did). As I researched Google for potential dog trainers I kept being called back to K9 Citizens Club. I took the path provided for me with Marcus Taylor at K9 Citizens Club. I AM SO GLAD I DID! I was able to have a free one-on-one private consult with Marcus at my home so we could discuss my objectives and for him to assess Tipsy. Marcus has such a gentle approach with his training. His 20+ years of working with dogs gives him keen insight to dog behaviors and habits. My little gal Tipsy has progressed remarkably!! First scared of everything now she does her sit, stay, come, eagerly takes her crate and is progressing brilliantly to her other commands that Marcus has me working on. As Marcus says - it takes baby steps & patience! I highly recommend K9 Citizens Club!

Marcus has done what we thought was impossible with our Great Dane Malibu! Marcus has an amazing ability to make your training fit your goals. He teaches the commands and skills and then focuses in on how you give commands or hold the leash and then how your dog responds to both. He demonstrates and lets you try and then very politely corrects you (if needed). He gives the why in addition to the how, which helps to train the humans and justify the repetition to get to “duration and distance.” We loved how he integrated his chill dog Ninja into the training. Ninja taught Malibu how to interact with other dogs and how to handle distractions. He was a great example for Malibu and great addition to the training. Our trips to Landa Park and Lowe’s were extremely educational and helpful to applying what we had learned and doing what we thought would always be impossible with Malibu! We highly recommend Marcus!
