There is an Intimate Conversation to be heard on every dog walk when one knows what to listen for! Every time we approach an animal is an opportunity to build trust. Thru Proper Introductions and Positive Association we strive to imprint on every animal.
Welcome to A Big Dog House
My friends call me McGoo
and I am a dog walker.
Our primary focus at A Big Dog House is to improve the physical and mental disposition of your dog through consistent dog walking.
Over 20 years of Experience

Dog Walking Services
Consistency is Key
Watch as other escalating negative behaviors dissipate as a result of our consistent walk schedule. No more pulling on leash, excessive barking, or submissive wetting.
Proper Leash Training
Reduce Anxiety and Unwanted Behaviors
Often separation anxiety and other undesired reactive behaviors such as excessive barking subside with a simple walk every day.
Positive Association
The Power of the Pack
We utilize Positive Assocation with confident role models on pack walks to teach proper leash walking, and unlearn negative behaviors.

My dog literally ran into Mark while he was walking Rose. He taught me so much in this interaction - thank you Mark! I hope to run into you again - without the barking from my dog! <3<3<3

Strongly recommend Mark for your dog sitter needs. We were very comfortable leaving our baby with him & will definitely be using him again. Thank you for taking such good care of our Miss Maisie!

Mark is the true dog training guru! He has taken my pup Oreo into his four-week boarding/training
Program and the results after just three weeks is nothing short of remarkable. HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark from A Big Dog House for dog walking services and I couldn't be happier. Right from the start, I could tell that Mark was knowledgeable, professional and personal. He was very knowledgeable about the dogs he walked, as well as the area. He also took the time to get to know my dogs on a personal level and made sure they got the best care possible. He always arrived on time and was very flexible with scheduling. I have been a repeat customer, hiring Mark's services twice a week, and my dogs always come home happy and tired. Additionally, I have used his overnight stay packages and was amazed by how well he took care of my pup. His dog grooming skills were also incredible. Overall, I highly recommend A Big Dog House and the services that Mark provides. He is an excellent dog walker and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.
Thank you !

Highly recommended! Mark is great with dogs - walks and training. He really helped my dog learn how to not pull on the leash and to interact with other dogs safely. He has been very consistent with dog walks and has worked with my ever-changing schedule.

Mark is a Zen master when it comes to dogs - his calm and warm demeanor instantly put our chi/JRT mix at ease. In less than a week, Mark had her walking with the pack, and we came home to a stress-free and happy doggo. Mark has a gift with animals, and understands what makes them tick.
