Meet the Trainer
Mark Peña- Head Trainer
Through expert knowledge and genuine compassion, Mark strives to help families and their dogs find harmony in the home. He does so by teaching balanced, science-based training methods that improve both behavior and communication between canines and their humans. Mark offers a full range of companion dog training from beginning puppy essentials, and fundamental obedience, to resolving a majority of behavioral issues including anxiety, aggression, and poor manners in mature dogs of any age, and any breed.
Mark grew up surrounded by dogs and has always shared a natural affinity with them. He was enthralled as he watched his father train their family dogs to hunt, flush out, and retrieve pheasant. Mark was also inspired by his brother’s ability to train his own dog and used that inspiration to train one of her pups to be a companion dog for his grandparents. It was a labor of love he never imagined would someday turn into his own independent business, but that’s just what happened after Mark met up with renown dog trainer John Van Olden, founder of the Canine Trade Group.

LIMA
Our Marin County Dog Trainer follows a training philosophy that is most likely to help reach training goals while using humane practices. This is known as LIMA—or Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive dog training.
Real World
When you train your dog with us we’ll be sure to get out into real world situations around other dogs, people and animals. We want to make sure you have a well mannered dog you can take anywhere!
Reward Based
We use a balanced, reward based training technique. This means we rely on positive reinforcement to teach dogs what behaviors we want, instead of what we don’t want.
Puppies
New Puppy? Our puppy training program is ideal for puppies 8 weeks old and up. This program will teach puppies leash walking skills, house training, crate training, socialization, basic commands, and take them to their full potential while they are still young!
Aggressive Dogs
Do you have an aggressive dog? Our aggressive dog training classes will correct your dog’s aggression towards human, dogs, or both. Don’t wait for the behaviors to get worse, get started now!
Separation Anxiety
We specialize in correct anxiety and aggression. If you dog is having issues when you leave or when crated, we’ll eliminate your dog’s stress and give you peace of mind with our separation anxiety private lessons.
Service Dog Training
COMING SOON! We are proud to offer service dog training for mobility assistance and psychiatric training needs. This will be an add on package to our in-home training packages.
Dog Behavior Training & Basic Obedience Training
Dogovation Dog Training provides dog behavior training and basic obedience training. Whether you have a dog with reactivity, or you just need a certain level of obedience training, we have a program for you!
We believe in teaching your dog in your home, then eventually working outside of the home in the most distracting of environments. This allows your dog to have all of the skill mastered BEFORE we truly put them to the test. When you train with us we teach your dog how to make better choices and how to listen to commands even when out in public settings.
