    We hired Mark to help us with our very spirited 7 year old Australian Shepherd. She is a very smart dog and had us completely trained. We are full time in an RV and she had a lot of anxiety and issues around other dogs, she would lose control when another dog came into view. Mark was amazing with our girl and gave us the tools we needed to make life better for all of us. Watching her with him was a real opener for us. We will be forever grateful. In reality we were the ones in need of training. Highly recommend Mark!

    Mark is an amazing dog trainer. We hired him to train our new Shih Tzu puppy, Cupcake and we are so thrilled with her progress. My husband had former Schutzhund training experience, but had no experience in training crazy little dogs like Cupcake. Mark had her trained in no time and we are thrilled with all the commands that she now knows. Thank you Mark!! We are so happy with what you have done for Cupcakr

    Exceptional, caring, loving, and supportive trainer. We have 2 yellow labs that are high energy boys, given our disabilities we had specific needs and goals for training. Mark was excellent at setting expectations and providing support to us through the training and retention process. This has made all the difference for us. Highly recommend Mark & Gibson's Canine Classroom. He is an extraordinary trainer!

    Amazing trainer and a great person. He not only teaches your pet but also teaches owners very helpful knowledge that I wish I knew years ago. Dogs loved him and you can really tell he loved them as well. Highly recommend to anyone who needs their dog/s trained. Thanks again!

    Mark is absolutely incredible. He has trained our Rottweiler since he was a puppy and we couldn’t be happier. I love that he is able to do training at our home and that he spends time with the owners as well. Last but not least, Mark answers questions we may have, even though our training was a couple of years ago! Thankful for your services Mark!

    I’m very thankful for Mark’s experience in dog training. He is calm and affirming. My Great Dane loves her classes and responds very well to Mark. Through the classes with Mark, my Great Dane grew from a shy, hesitant, and unmannered puppy to a confidant and well behaved dog.

    Mark has been a wonderful training instructor for our 1.5 yr old bernedoodle. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, our dog loves him! He teaches with patience and takes the time to explain concepts thoroughly and effectively. He even has us record videos during sessions so we are able to reference them if we need a refresher. Since working with him, we have seen a vast improvement in our pup’s temperament and behavior. Training has quickly become one of the highlights of our dog’s day. If you are looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and easy-going instructor, Mark is your guy.

    Mister Gibson, personally came to our house, to evaluate our 2 fur babies, (monsters). He is very thorough, kind, polite, and knowledgeable. He gave a complete evaluation on both of them, a game plan, and a solution. He also gives you the breakdown of what he charges for his services. Mister Gibson is the type of person that you would invite for dinner, and just enjoy his presence. We are looking forward to having him train our little and big monsters in the near future. I would scream from the mountain tops about this man, everyone that has something with 4 legs, (and possibly 2~including some of our children) could/should utilize his skills, please book him as soon as you possibly can!

    Mark is absolutely hands down the best Dog Trainer in Las Vegas- He should have the name "Dog Whisperer" Our precious Aussie Doodle Puppy Buster is 6 Months Old and we love him but what a handful! We opted for Mark's Boot Camp Package and go all in on our investment and well worth it!! Buster our doggie was boarded at Adventure Pet Resort who is excellent too and I will be reviewing too - Buster was there a month and is a new well behaved doggie coming home- mind you we still have practice once a week with Buster and Mark our Trainer from Gibson K9 but the fact Mark takes his time to teach us all the proper commands and also how to properly discipline. You can honestly truly tell Mark cares about his clients and especially the doggies he trains our Buster loves Mark and looks forward to training as he wags his tail and goes right to Mark when he sees him! Hands down you must give Mark at Gibson's K9 Training a call and at least get a free consult - We are thrilled with the results so far and continue to look forward working with him as Dog Training is a work in progress! Thanks Mark for everything - You are Amazing in Every Way!!

    Mark is great I have a high strung protective jack Russell , we did Petsmart training that was good for tricks but mark works on what our needs are. You can see the experience he has when he works with you and your pet. Mine I have seen a great difference in him, I know you can't go wrong if you go with mark. He will be the only one I will call for any training I need. You can't ask for any more as long as you do the homework, fallow his steps and put in the effort you will see a difference.

    I am experienced dog owner mostly large and bully breeds. Almost 1 year ago I took in aa abandoned 2 yr old Belgian Malinois. We did neuter, dental, chip, "obedience class"(not Mark)plenty of daily exercise and a calm loving home. Jack was becoming increasingly aggressive at the wall and in public on leash. No correction I new would stop him. I called Mark and we decided 2 week boarding training would be most effective. Although I missed him terribly, the training was VERY EFFECTIVE. As now Mark is training me, there is controlled barking, no jumping at the wall and less aggressive behavior on leash and Jack is best buddies with my 10 pound chihuahua. Mark's techniques work! I did not think I was going to be able to keeep Jack until Mark helped us. David G. and "Mad Jack"

    Mr. Gibson is a wonderful trainer! I am extremely pleased with his training of my Brussels Griffon, very patient and knowledgeable. He not only works and trains my dog but teaches me to handle and work her the proper way. I wouldn’t use anyone else!!

    Knowledgeable advisor. I didn't hire them because I ultimately returned this Pitbull to the shelter for rehabilitation due to aggression. I don't think she could have been fixed in their setting. This is for training, not rehabilitating unbalanced dogs.

    Mark is the best trainer I have met. Our German Shepard came home with an incredible positive change. She is easy to manage without taking her playful demeanor away. Mark doesn’t just train and leave you on your own to figure it out. He has come to our home several times to teach us how to benefit from what she has learned. We appreciate his expertise. Our friends and Family love to visit because of how well behaved our puppy is. We highly recommend Mark for any breed.

    Mark Gibson is the best! I probably have the only dominate, alpha male golden doodle in Las Vegas, well maybe not. I had tried another trainer when Berkeley was about 5 months old and he did teach him the basics. But, I never had Berkeley in control. He was jumping on counters, not coming to me, grabbing things and running with them, and chewing things up, etc. But what got me scarred was he started attacking my other smaller dog Jack (who assumed he was lead dog) competing for the alpha dog position. I was really afraid he would seriously hurt Jack so I called Mark when Berkeley was 11 months old. Berkeley is a new dog and there has been no attacks on Jack, the schnauzer, in months! Berkeley minds, he drops or leaves things when commanded, doesn’t jump on the counters or people, and pretty much comes on command. Best of all Mark is kind and both my boys love him. Want a trainer who doesn’t just teach your dog to sit and stay but makes him or her a well-behaved dog? Call Mark!

    Mr. Gibson was a brilliant instructor! We did a series of at-home lessons with our boxer-chihuahua mix. His kindness and patience was invaluable and has definitely made Rocco a well-behaved pup.

    We have been working with Mark Gibson for the past 6 months helping us train our three dogs and teach us invaluable skills to help us give our dogs a great life while keeping them safe . Mr. Gibson was patient with us and spent a great deal of time showing us the proper techniques to use the leash equipment. I am grateful to him for his knowledge, patience and expertise. I would highly recommend him to anyone for dog training. You will be glad you hired him.

    Mr Gibson has completely turned my dogs life around. Nala, is my 4 year old pitbull rescue who has dealt with severe anxiety and confidence issues. I reached out for in-home dog training and I have been amazed! Nala has found a pride in herself when she learns a new command. Training is her favorite part of the day and seeing Mr. Gibson is her favorite time of the week. Not only has Mr. Gibson trained and helped me train Nala, he has come up with so many solutions for different behavior problems we were facing. I see a light in Nala's eyes that I have not seen since I adopted her. I would recommend Mr. Gibson to anyone needing a dog trainer, he offers multiple packages for every dogs needs. He is a trainer that you can tell is incredibly knowledgeable and in this career because he genuinely loves training dogs.

    Mr Gibson has been amazing with our two pups. We happened to be going on a two week vacation and decided to kennel our dogs. He trained them while we were off on vacation. Once we were back we started the in house training for the people. Each session he teaches us a few new commands and the dogs already know them. He's great with the dogs and our kids. I couldn't ask for anything more.
    I highly recommend Gibson Dog Training.

    became owner of two puppy Schnoodles that are wonderful dogs but totally out of control. Mark came out to evaluate both and excepted the challenge. I'm one very proud owner now after the super training program. We can't thank Mark enough.

    An amazing experience! Our puppy was adopted and came with some resource guarding and aggressive tendencies. Mark is patient, direct and great with communication. He didn't just focus on what was wrong with our pup, but to make him his best self. We couldn't have ask for a better trainer.

    Mark did a great job with our golden retriever puppy. Mark works with the dog and then with the owner. He taught us how to properly command good behavior. Our puppy was always happy to see Mark. I recommend Gibson's Canine Classroom.
