FirstBarkA most excellent trainer. So much insight he teaches the owner for why the dog wants to do what they do, and at the same time, how to work with your dog to gain most positive behaviors.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
(cont'd) ... But now he pees at random, wherever he wants. It's gotten really bad. He's in a kennel & we crate-trained him, but he pees as soon as he sees us now. Can we get training for that AND for his Barking??
Yes

We just finished basic training with Mike and highly recommend his services. Mike not only worked very patiently and lovingly with our Luna but he also trained us too! Thinking about the indoor small challenge course to help with her puppy energy……. Thanks Mike.
Michael is a great trainer and very friendly and cares for your dog. He knows a lot about dogs. He is patient and doesn’t try to rush out your door to leave like others I’ve met. He has helped my labradoodle learn many new things and helped me learn how to implement them as well.
Get great dog training with quick results. Personalized help for each of your dogs. A+ dog trainer. Well worth the cost!
I called to get some dog help, and he gave me quite a few great ideas to help with our dog with no charge. We appreciate his help.
