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. read more

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. read more

Gibson's Canine Classroom - Training of our fur babies - Pet Training Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We had 3 smaller dogs and had to integrate two adult American Bully's into our pack from my daughter in law. She told us they were aggressive with other dogs so we hired Mark to help us. The 2 Bully's are doing great with their training and Mark helped guide us into integrating them with the other dogs. We are 3 months in at this point and have a very happy pack of 5. The Bully's are still learning new commands (I am also learning new things about dogs) and I can't wait till it cools off outside so I can start taking them for walks at the park. The consultation was free and he came to our house on short notice. He spent time with us first talking about what our concerns are with the dogs and what we would like to achieve. He then had us bring the dogs individually so he could evaluate them. We chose to board the dogs (Adventure Pet Resort, also amazing) for two weeks and he was able to go in at night and work with them there. Since then we've had several appointments in our home and its obvious the dogs love and respect him. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who feels they need help with their pups. read more

Amazing trainer and amazing person. Really has a great deal of knowledge to teach you dogs and as well as for owners. You can really tell he has a passion and love for the little ones. Dogs loved him, we could not be more pleased with the training. Highly recommend! read more

I met with Mr.Gibson on Friday. He sat in his car for 10 minutes. When he evalauated my dog he said Romeo was not trainable. Mr. Gibson trained two of my dogs a few years back. Doesn't even remember then complained how difficult one was. First off all dogs are trainable. just because i do not agree with a choke chain method or kenneling my dog. The right trainer with the right dog helps. i have found someone who understands this trainer needs to understand this and change his attiude. read more

(This is a question and not a review. Yelp says my question is too long and to post it as a review) We have a 8 month pit bull (named Ba Ba Blue) and a 10 year old cocker spaniel (Bentley). A friend asked us to dog sit him for a week during the Christmas holiday and never returned, changed their number and deleted me from Facebook. We had no intentions on raising another dog because I'm allergic to dogs but I'm used to Bentley. Baba is hyper and extremely active. Bentley sleeps all day but Bentley does not listen when company comes over. Bentley understands all commands but when people come to visit he always gets extremely excited and jumps on them. Baba Blue is hyper and doesn't listen unless my husband uses his firm manly voice. We even considered rehoming Baba because he's so hyper he scares the kids. What should we do? Can you help us with both Baba Blue and Bentley? read more

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. read more

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. read more

ITS REALLY ZERO STARS Marc came to my house for the evaluation. He was late. Upon arrival he seemed afraid of my dogs (none of whom have a viscous bone in their body) and asked me if we could talk AWAY FROM THE DOGS! He was unable/unwilling to even be near the dogs. His suggestions were choke collar and crate. THATS NOT TRAINING. He then told me I would have to consider kennel/boarding training. I again told him that was not an option I was considering. He then became even ruder and told me I was argumentative. THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE AND MY DOGS SENSED THAT TOO. BEWARE.!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have used Mark in the past for my last lab, Pela. She was such an amazing, well-behaved dog after structured & consistent training from Gibson's Canine Classroom. When she passed away and we got our newest lab, Enza, we knew we had to have Mark come back and train our new pup. He's patient, kind, has effective techniques, and gives homework to ensure we also follow through on our end. He comes into your home and environment, which is convenient and better for the dogs in my opinion. Highly recommend this trainer. read more

Mark is the absolute BEST dog trainer, PERIOD!!! We started using Mark 10 years ago with one of our alpha male cairn terriers, who is now the best, most obedient dog ever! That being said, we recently acquired another little yorkie, who is also an alpha male maniac and I was upset that I couldn't find his contact info initially and went with a different dog training company, which turned out to be a complete rip off!!!!!! As well as ineffective. I searched and searched until I finally came upon Mark's contact again!!! Boy, am I glad I found him still in business! He knows his business! (I'm confused by the zero star comment someone recently left ). In only a few short sessions, my Squiggy has learned to be much better behaved and learned all the basic commands, like sit, stay, come, down. In my opinion, Gibson's Canine Classroom even exceeds 5 stars!!!! Keep up the good work Mark!!!!!!!!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic and amazing program with a great amount of one on one instruction. I have a puppy who is absolutely the high energy alpha. We put her in the at home training program. Teaching was convenient and incredibly effective. I strongly recommend Gibson's. read more

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!! read more

I consider myself an experienced dog owner( newfy, bulldogs, pitbulls, rottie, labs, bullmastiff). I took in an abondoned 2 yr old Belgian Malinois 9 mos ago. I named him Jack, had him neutered and chipped, gave him a calm home environment with plenty of exercise and attention, even 6 weeks of "obedience class". He was still aggressive toward other dogs and certain people, not responding to my corrections, excessive barking while I was away from home, and the conditions were escalating. At a loss for what to do, I called Mark and signed up for 2 weeks boarding training. A couple of months have passed and we are getting our(my) home lessons. Mark is extremely experienced, talented and earned my trust at our first meeting with Jack. Bottom line: controlled barking, listens to commands, calmer, obedient on leash in public, stopped jumping at outside wall, his buddy is my 10 pound chihuahua and we are all happier! I was not sure if I could keep "Jack" until Mark helped us. Now Jack has become a great home dog as well as our protector. I recommend Mark without hesitation and would not use any other trainer. -David G. and "Mad Jack" read more

Mark is exceptional with our dogs! We have 2 high energy Aussies, and when he is around, my girls are so calm! He's not the cheapest out there, but in my opinion, he is well worth the money! Great follow up visits!! read more

Mark trained our extremely energetic Rhodesian Ridgeback. He learned all of his basic commands and so obedient at home. Teaching such a distracted pup to heel was pretty amazing. Zulu loved him. So did we. read more

We got another dog from a shelter about three months ago. He was 2 years old and didn't know any commands and showed some aggressive tendencies. We decided to do in home training and have been using Marc, Gibson's Canine, since then. Our dog has done a complete 180. He knows all the commands (sit, stay, down, etc) and can be around other dogs now on a leash with no aggressive behavior. I like Marc's training methods because he uses treats and positive re-enforcement to train the dog. He does a thorough job of training not only the dog but the owners as well. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of utilizing a dog obedience trainer. He is amazing! read more

My Lucy Lou was an out of control basset Hound. With marks guidance she is not only changed her ways but he helped us to discover why she was insane in the membrain and how to help us to control her. He has also trained all my other dogs since then and will be the only trainer i ever use as long as im in Vegas. read more

We hired Mark Gibson after previous trainers failed. We have 3 very good natured but rowdy dogs, and we were in desperate need of some law and order! Mark's approach was thorough and effective. Our dogs went from jumping, barking, not listening, and creating havoc to well behaved, trained and much happier dogs. Everyone has commented that it's like we have different dogs..and we agree! The investment in time and money was 100% worth it and we would absolutely recommend Gibson's Canine Classroom! read more

Loved Mark and what he has done with my crazy 110 lbs chocolate lab that now he is training my 3 month old irishdoodle. Which is gonna be a therapy dog and wouldn't trust anyone else with her. I highly recommend this trainer and have a few friends that have taken the recommendation and couldn't be happier. read more

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..... read more

Mark Gibson is the very best! I probably have the only dominate, alpha male golden doodle in Las Vegas, well maybe not. I had another trainer early on when Berkeley was about 5 or 6 months old and he did teach him the basics. But, I never had Berkeley firmly in control. He was jumping on counters, not coming to me, grabbing things and running with them, and chewing things up, just to name a few problems. But the problem that got me scarred was he started attacking my other smaller dog Jack a schnauzer (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, (well most of the time anyway), and pretty much comes on command. Best of all Mark is kind and both dogs 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! read more

Mark has done an amazing job transforming our dog, CoCo. She is now well behaved and listens to commands thanks to Mark's training. There is no doubt that he will be used in the future with our new furry family members. Thanks again Mark!! read more

I had two very unruly golden retrievers with Marks guidance they went from wild to mild. Mark taught them the commands and then he taught us how to use them and to be consistent. Our boys are much better citizens without losing any of their joyful dispositions. I would recommend Mark's canine classroom to anyone looking for an excellent trainer that cares about helping you train your furry family member. read more

We have been working with mark over the past several months to train our shiba inu puppy, which anybody who is familiar with this breed knows that this breed is a very stubborn and independent dog. Mark is very patient and consistent and within the training time frame, our crazy, little pup is now following the basic commands of: sit, stay, heal and lay down. He also comes in from outside on the "come" command instead of us tying to chase him down. His over-all demeanor is more respectful. We also liked mark because he is willing to meet with you and your fur-baby to ensure a possible good/appropriate relationship before requiring sign up. If you have a dog that you are frustrated with or just want to have a well trained dog/pup.....Give mark a call!!!! read more

We have 4 dogs, two of which are Pit Bulls with abosolutely no manners. Our year old girl and year and half old boy spent two weeks with Mark for obedience training. Wow! They are amazing, now he is training me to take over. We meet once a week and I learn new commands (the dogs already know them!). It has been a rewarding experience to see what Mark has accomplished with my Pitties. I would reccomend him highly and in time we will have him work with our Border Collie too. read more

Today was graduation day and we couldn't be more satisfied. Mark Gibson is a miracle worker. His patience, knowledge and expertise helped our 6yr old Schnauzer & Dachshund mix. Frankie was timid, fearful and had very poor self esteem. 6 short weeks later, and Frankie's confidence levels are significantly improved. We're so happy to show her off to our patients at the office (she goes to work with us). She sits, comes, and stays on command. She's still a bit frighten of strangers but she's definitely much improved than when we started. We highly recommend Mark to any one willing to dedicate the time to training their beloved pets. We're very glad we called Mark and have already highly recommended him to friends and neighbors. Mark proves that you can teach an old dog new tricks! read more

I own 2 AKC Retired Greyhound Show Dogs I saw a brochure of his and gave him a call. I arranged to have him meet my greyhounds in my home. I wanted to learn how to walk to greyhounds without doing damage to my back, since I had surgery in November. First of all greyhounds are very delicate dogs. They have no body fat and their skin is very thin. They wear Martindale Collars. Mr Gibson did not know what a Martindale Collar was, coming from a man who claimed he had trained 20 greyhounds this was a huge RED FLAG . Second he was gung ho on Choke Chains. Second of all you NEVER put a choke chain on a greyhound Both County and City Animal Control will tell you that as will any vet who treats greyhounds. He wanted to push BOOT CAMP and have him board the dogs some place else for an over inflated price. IF YOU OWN GREYHOUNDS DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN WITH YOUR DOG. Honestly he scared me and I want to let others know that might adopt a greyhound THIS MAN COULD KILL YOUR GREYHOUND read more

AMAZING!!! I have 2 dogs,we were ready to get them new homes due to I had daycare and they were so unruly to let near my daycare kids. We wanted family dogs who could live with us and be our furbabies. I had hired a trainer before I wont mention names but no luck he did nothing. We finally decided to hire a trainer 1 more time and if it didn't work we couldn't keep them because you cant keep them on a dog run all day in the summer or winter. Mark made our dogs are wonderful furbabies. They are GREAT with the kids and a real part of the family. We are grateful to him!! Highly recommended by us for sure!!! read more

We got our 2 dogs from the NSPCA. One had lived around people before, but, wasn't trained. The other had no social skills with people or dogs. Both were difficult to control and impossible to take out. We interviewed several trainers by phone and in person. We were very impressed with Mark. He had a professional, no nonsense, approach and was the only one who appeared truly interested in the dogs. We saw positive results in the dogs behavior fast. Not only did Mark work with the dogs, he also trained us. It's been almost a year since we and the dogs completed the training with Mark. They follow commands consistently, are a pleasure to take for a walk and have become a part of our family. Mark did an amazing job with our dogs and gave us the confidence to continue working with them. The dogs and the rest of our family highly recommend him. read more

I cannot say enough what a wonderful job Mark has done with our wild puppies. Their behavior has gone from destructive out of control to well behaved dogs who listen and do what is asked. Thank you, thank you!!! I highly recommend Gibsons!! read more

Mark's approach treats both the pet owner and the pet as a single trainable entity. The pet owner is trained to lead the pet in the required obedience exercises incrementally, teaching the pet with positive reinforcement rather than through fear and intimidation. Our dog Riley enjoyed the training sessions from the very first lesson because she was rewarded for a job well done, and the corrections were administered in such a way that the instruction always ended in a positive manner. At the conclusion of the training, the pet owner and pet have been provided with the tools necessary to continue the training process. We highly recommend Mark Gibson to anyone who wishes to have their pet trained in a caring and responsible manner. read more

We have two pups, a yorkie/poodle mix and a yorkie/bichon mix. We've had problems with the yorkie/poo going after his "brother" when he has anxiety, when he's jealous, and over food. It escalated to the point we knew we needed help. Mark has been a godsend! He is an expert with dogs and our pups loved him immediately. His system of teaching is superb and extremely effective. We are almost through with the course and we have seen tremendous improvement in our yorkie/poo's behavior. Most importantly, Mark is teaching us how to properly interact with our dogs. It is pretty apparent that I've been the weak link.:) Mark is teaching me how to be the one "in charge" but still be very loving. I think that's what we've appreciated most about Mark's approach to dog training. He is very positive, loving, and patient, yet effective with even difficult dogs. We highly recommend Gibson's Canine Classroom. Mark is definitely the best trainer we've ever met and we're very grateful for his help. read more

We are so grateful we chose Mark to train our lab puppies. This is our second set of labs after having 4 German Shepherds in Florida. Our first set of labs were taken to on site training locations & after three different trainers & many months, we found little success from them. We recently got 2 new boys & interviewed 4 different companies & trainers. Thanks to Mark & his extraordinary training philosophy & techniques, our wild, crazy, jumping boys have become obedient & a pleasure to be with. Our friends & visitors are amazed at the transformation. Mark has empowered us to be in control & what a difference that has made! Selecting Mark to train our boys was the best decision we made. We wish we had known about Mark 13 years ago when we adopted our first set of boys. If you want to enjoy life with your pets, in our case we enjoy them better than most people, go to THE BEST....... GIBSON'S CANINE CLASSROOM! read more
