About the caregiver

Thank you for stopping by! 🐕🐶 My name is Markus, also known as Mars Saves Dogs. I treat every dog as my own! Using empathy and positive reinforcement as my main tactics, I ensure trust, love, and thus, a loyal bond. As a Certified Animal Behaviorist, I implement science-based methods in my care for every dog. Safety is a priority and I make sure your dog stays happy while in my care or during training sessions. I believe in using force-free practices for training and handling any animal. Creating a strong bond and communication with your dog is key. My knowledge and understanding date back to early 2005. I've continuously studied and developed new approaches to care for and train animals. In my spare time, I give back to several local rescues and shelters in San Diego County. My experience comes from both inside facilities and in the privacy of clients' homes. I have a wealth of knowledge and look forward to sharing and teaching good manners and handling techniques for canines. Observing your dog and understanding their perspective is key to speaking their "love language." Always lead with love. I look forward to meeting your pup! Mars Saves Dogs Markus
