FirstBarkMike and his staff are amazing! Mike worked with our badly beaten rescue and gave him the self confidence to be his best self. He loved Mike and learn to trust everyone. It was such a gift for our fur baby, and for us. We are so grateful to Mike, and his staff. Rori, Sandy, and Bhodi!

BPF was a fantastic program for our girls. Michael helped our family understand how the techniques worked, when to use them along with clear explanations of why the strategies are being implemented. Michael not only educated our family but demonstrated how the strategies were to be applied. We would definitely recommend Best Paw Forward.
I didn’t bring any dogs here but Michael was the most helpful person to talk to about a mishaved dog. If I were to need a dog trained I’d go to him!
Angelina was amazing! We had a very difficult situation with our English Bulldog brothers and she provided support , information and training ideas we hadn’t done with that intention yet! We are living a very different life thanks to her experience and training all of us!
I would definitely recommend Best Paw Forward to anyone considering training for your dog. The positive reinforcement methods truly work. If you follow their lead and work with you’re dog, you will see a big difference in your dogs behavior.
