Dog Training
Mark Murray.
Located in Bendigo, Victoria
Specialist training to prepare your dog for competition Obedience and Tracking trials.
My name is Mark Murray and I have more than 45 years experience as a professional Dog Trainer.
This Webpage acknowledges the amazing performances of many dog/handler teams who have trained with me over the years. Their Trial results are recorded here for everyone to see and enjoy. It's a recognition of the dedicated work needed to prepare a dog for competition trialling.
Great competition dogs don't just magically happen. They are created by using a training system that complements their temperament. A training system that promotes and develops a happy and confident dog, one who is very correct in his work.
Look under the "Training Tips" tab for lots of information on the training and management of dogs.
