To The Frustrated Dog Owner,
I know exactly why you’re here.
You’re here because the "dream" of having a dog has turned into a daily source of stress.
Maybe you’re exhausted from the constant pulling on the leash, embarrassed by the jumping and barking when guests arrive, or simply tired of feeling like you’ve lost control of your own home.
I want you to know two things: It isn’t your fault, and it doesn't have to stay this way.
I’ve spent over 30 years studying canine behavior, from the quiet living rooms of families just like yours to social situations with high distractions.
What I’ve learned in those three decades is that most "training" fails because it focuses on tricks rather than transformation.
I created the K9 Serenity System™ to bridge that gap.
My approach isn't about "fixing" your dog with a few treats; it’s about restoring the connection between you and your companion.
I focus on building a foundation of calm, clear communication that works in the real world, whether you are navigating a neighborhood in Raleigh, walking through a busy park in Durham or enjoying the quiet at Lake Gaston.
When you work with Sunrise K9, you aren’t just getting a trainer; you’re gaining a partner with the experience required to bring peace back to your household.
Let’s move past the chaos and find the serenity you both deserve.
To your peace of mind,
Dog Parbus Founder & Lead Behaviorist, Sunrise K9


Most trainers have a few certifications; I have three decades in the trenches. In over 30 years of working with dogs, I have seen every behavior challenge imaginable. You aren't hiring a hobbyist; you are hiring a lifetime of expertise.

My system is designed for the reality of your daily life. Whether it’s having the manners to remain calm when guests walk through your front door or the control to walk loosely on a leash past distractions, I build behavior you can actually rely on. I don't just train for the backyard; I train for your home and your neighborhood.

To ensure your success, I provide a total ecosystem of support: our exclusive 85-page Mastery Manual, a private Client Portal, and Lifetime Support. We don’t just fix temporary problems; we give you the permanent tools to restore the bond with your best friend. When you work with me, you have a partner for the life of your dog.
Please reach us at markdogparbus@icloud.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
A: Most trainers focus on "tricks" using food as a bribe. We focus on behavior. We address the dog’s state of mind to create a calm, neutral companion who listens because they understand their role, not just because you have a treat in your hand.
A: You are never left alone. Every client receives our 85-page Mastery Manual, access to our Private Client Portal, and—most importantly—Lifetime Support. We are your partners for the life of your dog.
A: I do not rely on heavy-handed, punitive methods or shock collars. True Serenity is built on clear communication and mutual respect. My 30 years of experience have proven that you don't need to intimidate a dog to get results—whether you're training in Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, or Cary, or seeking a better bond in Holly Springs, Apex, Garner, or rural areas around Lake Gaston.
Dog Parbus’s 30-year career is built on a foundation of rigorous study and first-class mentorship.
Having spent thousands of hours in pure canine observation, Dog has developed an instinct for the subtle language of the pack that can’t be taught in a classroom.
His expertise is backed by formal certifications, advanced Continuing Education (CE) classes, and specialized training under multiple mentors.
Beyond private dog training, Dog has a deep-rooted passion for rescue work, including years spent evaluating shelter dogs and rehabilitating complex cases to help them find their forever homes.
This unique experience allows him to deliver the K9 Serenity System™ with unmatched authority to families throughout Raleigh-Durham, NC, and the areas surrounding Lake Gaston.
Whether in the heart of the city or at the lake, Dog is dedicated to restoring the bond between you and your best friend.
Our obedience training program will teach your pet basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. These commands will make your pet easier to manage and more enjoyable to be around.
Agility training is a fun way to exercise and challenge your pet both mentally and physically. Our trainers will teach your pet to navigate an obstacle course, building confidence and coordination.
If you're interested in training your pet to become a therapy dog, we can help. Our trainers will guide you through the process of certification and teach your pet the necessary skills to provide comfort and support to those in need.
