Bark & Birch

I had my 11 month old Doberman with Manny for 4-weeks. When I first dropped him off, I was a bit nervous. But it needed to happen because I was having issues with leash pulling, reactivity, and commands. After 4-weeks of Manny working 1-on-1 with my pup, he’s like a brand new dog. He showed me what I was doing wrong and how I can improve. Now I feel confident in myself and my dog is now set up for success.

Anthony is an incredible trainer. He came to pick up Otis and it was immediately clear that Otis was in great hands. It was reassuring to see progress videos and photos of our Otis sent by Anthony every day. We would highly recommend Anthony again as we felt safe and happy knowing Otis was in the hands of someone who loves him as his own. Otis was able to work on commands such as sit, stay, come, house, leave it, and more! Otis had so much fun playing, going on walks each day, and even getting lake days with Anthony! It is clear Otis understands these new commands and we are looking forward to working together on his new skills at home. We are excited with Anthony again on the 1 hour check in training session that is also provided! 10/10 would recommend.

Kristi has been amazing! My dog, Cairo, was a rescue from the streets of Mexico. He had been in and out of foster homes before I adopted him. He had several behavioral issues that I needed help addressing. He was extremely aggressive when other dogs or people approached me. He even bit my dad. I called Bark & Birch and thank goodness they sent Kristi. Within our first 2 sessions, Cairo had already shown significant improvement. He did much better around my dad during our visit soon after Cairo’s 2nd session. We just finished the 7th of our 8 sessions and Cairo is so much more well behaved. He socializes with other dogs and people and I don’t fear him biting others. I highly recommend Bark & Birch and especially Kristi.

We rescued 2 dogs from the shelter in Aug. 2020. They were inseparable, shaking and scared of human touch. The safest place they felt was under our kitchen table. To put a leash on them was a workout. Winston, the terrier mix, was terrified of everyone. Remy, the hound mix, was a bit more confident but aggressive when cornered and bit the veterinarian. I contacted Bark & Birch and they recommended the 4 week training. Anthony Cavallo was our dogs trainer. Every day we received videos of his training sessions with our dogs. Plus extra tips we can do at home. We now have 2 different dogs! Winston & Remy love to go on walks & car rides! The leash is not an issue any more. They are more calm with other members of our family. They sleep in our bedroom in their own beds! Winton's groomer was impressed & said money well spent! Winston was calm. It was easy to bathe, trim his coat & nails. Highly recommend Bark & Birch. But most of all Anthony Cavallo!! He is an excellent trainer! So good with my dogs & you can tell they loved him.

My 8-month old Weimaraner participated in the board and train program under Manny. His unrivaled experience proved invaluable for Charlie and he came back home knowing basic commands, leash training, crate training, and obedience . Manny sent me multiple progress videos daily and explained in each video what he was doing and how to continue the training once Charlie got home. I highly recommend Manny to anyone looking to teach their dogs discipline and obedience. Manny is thorough, consistent, and highly knowledgeable. He certainly went out of his way to ensure Charlie was receiving the catered training he needed. I am very impressed.
