This past Saturday Emily and I took Mup a Griffon who will be 4 months on the 25th of September to see Markus for our first training session. Overall the experience was great we were very impressed and plan to make it to as many weekend sessions as we can. Markus allowed me and encouraged Emily to be very hands on and was great at showing us techniques to use to help train Mup. You can really feel and see his passion for training dogs.

I have nothing but praise for Markus and his ability to handle and work quality bird dogs. He knows how to read them and adjust to their way of learning. I have raised and trained many good bird dogs myself so i know what to look for in a dog and a trainer. I bought Ayla in October of 2014 and picked her up at the airport took a couple of months to bond with her and quickly found that she was very intelligent and intuitive and had a hell of a nose and a strong will to please. Due to my busy schedule i felt it better to look for a quality trainer rather than do it myself i found the right match with Markus. He worked with Ayla and allowed me to work with them on the weekends and on some afternoons that summer. By August i was getting that itch and since Ayla is a GWP she is an all purpose dog and Dove season was just around the corner. That year i hunted Dove,Teal, Quail and ducks with Ayla and she never failed to please! She is an Awesome three year old now. Thanks Markus!

I have had the greatest time working with Markus over the last few months. I have watched him transform my dog and many other dogs into hunting machines. His ability to read a dog and judge its ability and then tailor his training approach to that specific dog is remarkable. He knows and understands how to train dogs like I could not imagine. Not only did he train my dog Scarlett, he trained me as well. You can watch youtube videos and DVDs and read books all day but until you have someone working with you and your dog you wont fully grasp the concepts. Markus is a great guy and is willing to go out of his way to work with every client he has. It has been a pleasure to work him and I am grateful for all he has done for Scarlett and I.I hope to get one of his puppies as soon as the wife lets me. If anyone has any questions about my experience please send me an e-mail and I would be happy to help. Thanks for everything Markus.

I heard about Markus from a friend. I have two Vizslas - one is a year old the other two years old. I didn't want to hunt train the guys, I desperately needed to learn how to control them and give them basic obedience. I had been to some basic obedience classed somewhere else prior but it really didn't yield the results I was looking for. Markus was incredible. He took my guys and me and transformed me into the Alpha. When I brought them there I couldn't even let them out of my car without them pulling me off my feet. Today, we are a team. Markus never gave up on me and never gave up on them. I love the fact that he always made time for me to come weekly and work with them - sometimes just me and my two guys and sometimes with a group. Markus was firm and consistent with me and the dogs - but he's amazing. My guys would do anything he asked, and then wag their tail when he came over to them. I have never owned a birddog - and then I got two. I had no idea what I was getting into - but I knew that I loved my boys and wanted to have a happy life together where they and I could live comfortably. Thanks to Markus we are now in that place!

Our GSP went to Markus for training at the age of 19 months old. She had a full quail season of hunting from the previous year and had developed the horrible habit of flushing birds. One great components to the training program Markus offers is that the owners can take part in the training on the weekends. Not only do you get to see your dog, but you can see the progress and get trained yourself so you can be a better dog handler. In the end, Markus trained her for 2.5 months and the result from beginning to end was astonishing. We got Maya back in the middle of quail season and Markus instructed us how to hunt her and reinforce the training. I thank Markus for saving our girl, she’s back to pointing and improves on every hunt. During the training sessions we participated in we also saw some of Markus’s dogs in action and he has bred and trained top notch bird dogs. The kennels are clean and well kept. Our girl was well trained and taken care of by Markus. We couldn’t be happier.

Marcus, thought I'd drop a line about the pup I got from you in 2011 (Gunner/Secret litter). Buster matured into my #1 dog, which means many times he gets hunted long and hard. Now that I'm retired I get to hunt 3 to 5 days a week for about 2 1/2 months. He hunts as I had hoped he would but the part that really surprised me has been his retrieving. He's a real good dead bird finder, just call him in if he didn't see the action and tell him "dead" and he'll tear the place apart looking for it if need be. Also he loves water and will hit the water for a retreive hard enough to make a Lab owner proud. One of the places I hunt is along the North Platte River, there's been a couple times I had to pass on a shot because I was afraid the bird would fall into the water, as tough as he is he's got no business in the river when there's ice in it. He was never put through forced retrieve training, my wife had him retrieving a water bottle on the way home at 8 weeks. Hope to see you soon.

We purchased a female English Pointer pup from the cross of Wranglers Honkey Tonk Joe and Wranglers Little Patti. Our dog, Piper, Is just 8 months old. She has been training on pigeons and quail. Piper has learned to Point, Back and retrieve - What a Natural! We have not had a dog with such a great nose, poker straight tail and the natural drive to find birds since out last Crow's Little Joe pup many years ago. We are looking forward to running Piper in NSTRA and look forward to many years of placements! Thank you, Markus for such a fantastic pup! We definitely will be looking to purchase another dog from Wrangler Kennels! FYI: I sent you a picture or three of Piper on point!
