FirstBarkMichelle and her team have been instrumental is allowing us to have a well behaved Karelian Bear Dog. We did the Peak Performance Camp and also attended the group lessons in the summer. Whenever we had a training question, Michelle was quick to respond via Zoom to talk us through different strategies. We also have done additional lessons with bike jouring. Thanks Alaska Dog Works!

Dizz was 4.5 months old when she went to puppy boot camp, she was starting to get really voicie and came back much calmer and easier to train. Highly recommend their training program, will be going back for advanced training later.
I highly recommend AK Dog Works for anyone needing dog training. The program is great as it was easy to follow and it works. My 5 year old German Shepherd Husky mix did very well with dog trainer Nicole and has learned a lot. I am definitely more confident training my dog as the program and trainer gave me the confidence I needed.
By the time Heidi and I met Michele and Robert, I had already spent thousands of dollars on two local trainers who had quickly given up on my reactive 3 year old GSD. Michele created a program specifically for Heidi, building on her strengths while modifying her behavior. Thanks to Alaska Dog Works Heidi is living her best life!

Our Luna is a 7 mo old Karelian Bear Dog who is independent, stubborn and high energy. Michelle did a great job training her in basic obedience, while at the same time teaching us how to continue reinforcing and building off of what Luna had learned. I'm pretty sure we would have not made it through the first 6 months of puppy chaos if we had tried to go it alone. I highly recommend Michelle and the Alaska Dog Works program.
