FirstBarkMike has been working with Allie and me for several months. We have made great progress. Training requires the owner and the dog learn new skills. Allie has been a good student. I am improving with every session. Thanks, Mike!

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

Mike has done a fantastic job with our puppy, Daisy. Definitely would recommend!
Mike was an awesome guy to work with! Our pup loved him right away and our boy picked things up quickly. We recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent dog trainer!
Mike was great with our puppy. You could tell immediately he has a way with dogs. Always on time and a genuinely nice guy who just loves dogs. We saw progress after just our consultation. Highly recommend!!!
Mike has been so awesome in helping train our new puppy Luna. We sent her to him while we went on vacation and it was like coming back to a completely different puppy. He has even helped our kids get involved with the training. Would highly recommend.
