FirstBarkA serious dog whisperer. After just 3 sessions my puppy is acting like a grown dog, obeying commands and just being an overall good boy. I cannot recommend him more!!

About Brett Shelby Professional Dog Trainer
With a life time of dog training experience having a trainer for a father, there is little that I haven't seen. That mixed with a Masters' degree in education, teaching you and your 4-legged significant other how to communicate and understand each other is what I get to enjoy doing daily. We create the bond you always wanted by showing the dogs what we desire. All done through happy and playful direction.

Thanks to Brett and his expert knowledge we have a very happy pack of 3. When we brought our last Doberman into the pack she was not used to the quick movement and noise of children, she was fearful and skittish, even though I have always had dobermans I needed an professional to help us. We certainly picked the right man for the job! We would not be the happy pack we are without Brett, he knows exactly how to communicate with both dogs and people, he was respectful, professional, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you Brett for making it possible to keep our pack together and for your constant communication and help.

To call Brett a “dog whisperer” is an understatement! My dog Molly was having challenges with housebreaking, Brett came to our house and talked with me for an hour and offered a new way of thinking about my approach to training her and gave me a whole new, and very effective perspective on being a dog owner. Molly slept through our entire session. Lol. She must have been listening though and I learned so, so much, that it was the very LAST day she had an accident in the house! I’m so incredibly happy and thankful for Brett’s knowledge that comes from his unconditional love for dogs and his ability to communicate their needs! 🙏🏻
Brett is an amazing dog trainer. The way he understands a dogs behavior is incredible. He will teach YOU how to understand and work with your dog. After one hour of work together we saw incredible, meaningful improvements with our dogs behavior. Thank you!
I cannot say enough about Brett. He has a way with dogs, they just understand him instantly! I've never seen anything like it! I worked with him when my 2 frenchies were just puppies and then again about a year later when one started acting up. Brett was able to fix the behavior in one session! I highly recommend him, he is truly a dog whisperer. He's also a super nice person to work with!!
