At My Home Dog Training in Chandler, AZ
At My Home Dog Training is private, one-on-one training with Mark Siebel at his local Chandler park instead of your house. It is the same trainer, Mark Siebel, the same positive-reinforcement methods, and the same four-week structure as in-home training, at a lower price: starting at $575 for once weekly, or $1,125 for twice weekly. Over 7,000 dogs trained since 2005, positive reinforcement only. Mark never uses shock or choke collars.
What Makes This Different From In-Home Training
The training you get is identical. The location is what changes.
Instead of Mark coming to your house, you bring your dog to his local Chandler park for each session. That single difference is what makes this the more affordable of the two private training formats, without changing who is training your dog or how.
Some owners choose this on purpose because a park gives a dog real-world distractions on day one: other people, other smells, more open space, the exact kind of environment a dog needs to practice focus in.
A command that only works in a quiet living room is not fully trained yet. A command that holds up at a park with joggers and other dogs around is fully trained.
Mark trains Wednesday through Sunday, with Monday and Tuesday off, and the schedule narrows further in the summer heat, so sessions get scheduled around cooler parts of the day.
What Four Weeks of At My Home Dog Training Covers
Every At My Home Dog Training with Mark Siebel works through this same list.
Your dog (and you!) will get private, one-on-one training with Mark Siebel, where he uses the experience he has built since 2005 to train them on core commands every dog should know, leash work, and focus and impulse control.
Mark only uses positive reinforcements, so no choke chain or shock collar will ever be used.
This is a great training option to have your dog dog trained while being exposed to outside environments and people.
-
Core Commands
Commands like sit, stay, down, leave it, come, watch me, heel, and off, taught both verbally and with hand signals
-
Energy and Leash Work
Teaching the skills needed so your dog walks calmly instead of pulling with real distractions and an outdoor environment
-
Focus and Impulse Control
Training at the local Chandler Park creates a great training atmosphere for dogs to learn control around other dogs and people
-
Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement only. No shock collars. No choke chains. Ever.

Mark always focuses on using humane dog training tactics. No shock collars or choke chains ever.
Doggie Steps does not guarantee an outcome on any service. Mark is upfront about why, the same way a personal trainer’s plan only works if the client follows through. Results at Doggie Steps depend on you keeping up the routine once your dog is home.
Why the Lower Price Does Not Mean Less Training
The lower price doesn’t mean you’re getting a watered-down version of training.
The commands, the repetition, the hands-on time are the same as in-home training. What changes is who travels.
You come to him instead of him coming to you, which is why the price comes down without the quality coming down with it.
This is also where Mark’s psychology background shows up in a different way.
Training in a public space means reading a dog’s stress and excitement levels around real triggers in real time, not simulating them.
For a dog that needs to learn to hold a “leave it” when passing a squirrel or stay calm as another dog walks by, this is often a faster path to a command that actually holds under pressure than a living room ever could be.

The Psychology Behind Every Doggie Steps Program
Dog Training in Chandler, AZ
Mark’s approach draws on an actual psychology background, an undergraduate course at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and a refresher at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. His own words on why that matters: it is harder to train the person than the dog. Once he understands who he is working with, the dog part gets easier.
That shows up in At My Home Dog Training specifically. Because you’re there for every session at the park, not picking up a trained dog at the end, Mark is coaching you in real time, in a real-world environment full of the same distractions your dog will actually face: other dogs, other people, new sounds and smells. You learn the hand signals and the timing alongside your dog session by session, not after the fact, so the training holds up once you’re back on your own street.
Is At My Home Dog Training Right for Your Dog
This is the right fit if you want private, one-on-one attention from Mark at the lowest price point he offers, and you and your dog are comfortable training in a public outdoor space.
If your dog’s issues are specifically tied to your home environment, doorways, guests, other pets in the house, in-home training may get you there faster. If your dog needs more than four weeks of hands-on correction, Board and Train is worth a look.
