Lucky Dog Training Marko is a Lifelong Animal care Specialist with background in Dog Grooming and Training. Marko Learned yet another style and approach to training dogs.

Covid -19 has invited many adoptions, give your new family member the guidance he or she will need to live along lasting and safe life with you. A Dog Groomer since the age of 16, Grooming Salon owner and manager in cities across the US, and Pet Handler for over 30 years, collectively make up the foundation of "The Marko Method " of Dog Training. Marko began his start in the dog world as a dog grooming apprentice at the age of 16. He learned from groomers and handlers who were AKC show trainers / handlers and gained much knowledge at the early start of his career in dog grooming. After getting his first puppy at the age of 19, and allowing her (Ashley) to be the super spoiled puppy she was, Marko decided to put her through a puppy training course. This was a magical moment for him, because it was then that he learned the joys of dog training and what a difference it makes in the home, and in his relationship with his dog. He got his second poodle (Prancer) right here in the Coachella Valley area, and took him to the Palm Springs Police dept to participate in a class led by Dan LaMasters. Marko’s Experience in working with dogs both in shop and out of the shop has been VERY valuable in his ability to read and understand dogs in situations. Marko does not train under the concept of “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” but rather, custom creates and navigates your dogs training to suit the needs of you and your dog.

GOOD TRAINING IS WORTH SHARING

Know someone who could use help with their dog? Refer them to Lucky Dog Training, and you can both benefit.

• Your friend receives $100 off a training program.
• You receive a $100 credit toward a future Lucky Dog Training service when they enroll.

HOW IT WORKS

Have your friend select “Direct Referral” on their initial consultation form and enter your name. We’ll begin with an introductory call and behavior assessment to recommend the right program for their dog.

The new client must be a household that has not previously purchased training from Lucky Dog Training and must enroll in a Board & Train, Day Training, or Private Lesson program. Your referral credit is issued after their first program payment clears.

Your $100 credit can be applied to one future Lucky Dog Training service, including a Train & Stay reservation or Train & Play package. For Train & Stay or Train & Play, the reservation or package total must be greater than $100. The credit must be used in a single transaction; it cannot be split, carried forward, or redeemed for cash.

One referral offer applies per new household and cannot be combined with another promotion. The new client’s $100 discount applies to their training program, not their behavior assessment.

Many times we do a lot of talking, using a lot of techinical textbook explanations in training, and while its great some have chosen to go that route, I like to use clear easy to follow instruction that helps you get the job done effectively , safely, and harmoniously so your life with your dog is Loving, Stress free, FEAR FREE, and most of all your dog has the structure it needs to stay SAFE!

Many people don't realise keeping your dog close while in motion, is a safety consideration in some cases, and having the skills to do this with your dog, needs to be practiced BEFORE giving them long free reign on the leash while on walks.
Here's a quick video of a first session with Estelle, who use to thrash walk all over, or STALL when she didn't want to walk anymore.

BOARD & TRAIN – MAY 18TH START DATE (2 SPOTS LEFT)

If your dog is still pulling, jumping, ignoring commands, or running your household…it’s not going to fix itself.

This is exactly why my Board & Train Program exists.
Your dog lives and trains directly with me in a structured, real-world environment—not a kennel, not a revolving door facility.

We focus on:
1 – Clear obedience and accountability
– Structured walking (no more leash pulling)

2 – House manners and calm behavior

3 – Real-life exposure and socialization
4 – Owner transition so results LAST

This is a done-for-you training solution designed for busy professionals, Seniors and owners who want real results without the guesswork.

ONLY 2 SPOTS AVAILABLE
Start Date: May 18th, 2026!

Once these are filled, the next opening pushes out 3-4 weeks.

If you’ve been waiting to fix the behavior… this is your window.

Book your consult now to secure your spot.

This is what REAL progress looks like.

This puppy came in pulling, jumping, and overwhelming his owner and guests. Walks weren’t enjoyable—they were stressful.

Now? Calm. Controlled. Comfortable.

That didn’t happen by accident.

It came from STRUCTURE, the RIGHT EQUIPMENT, and a TRAINING PLAN the owner understands and can actually follow in real life.

Our Extended Training Programs are BUILT around the dog in front of us—no cookie-cutter approach:

• Board & Train – immersive, structured, daily training with us
• Day Training – your dog works with us during scheduled daytime hours, then goes home with you nights and weekends, with MINI FOLLOW-UPS each day (just like you see here)
• Private Sessions – INCLUDED so you know exactly how to maintain the results

After your initial consult, we tailor the program to your dog’s behavior, your lifestyle, and your goals.
In many cases, we build HYBRID programs—combining formats—to get the best possible results, efficiently.

Because training isn’t just about the dog…
It’s about the lifestyle you’re building together.

We also offer our EXCLUSIVE Puppy Development Program
Designed for seniors and busy professionals who want it done RIGHT from the start—before pulling, jumping, and bad habits ever become the problem.

If your dog is already struggling, or you want to prevent the struggle altogether—this is where you start.

I’m currently booking for May and June
Only 2 spots left
