FirstBarkDan was a fantastic wealth of knowledge as a behaviorist and trainer. I needed more than just dog obedience 101 to understand what was going on with my rescued lab. With Dan’s help I have an entirely less reactive dog and as I continue the work I am confident that the behavior will be exterminated. Thanx Dan for all the advice and support.

Recently adopted the most difficult dog I’ve ever had… was scared to take him on walks because he would lunge at everything (border collie mix). i also have a 2.5 year old and was worried to have such a wild dog around him. The difference before and after training is remarkable, and Dan was and still is always available for help and questions.
We were amazed how quickly our Yorkie responded to our newly acquired training techniques. She is quick, intelligent and fairly dominant. Daniel’s dog physiology helped our family, (including a 3 year old granddaughter) apply his strict but gentle techniques It was extremely helpful getting us into real life scenarios, giving all of us a great reset. Many thanks ❣️
Dan is great he helped me intergrate my new puppy with my 7 year old German Shepard. The in-home training really works too so he can see whats going on in your home environment.

Dan was recommended to us by Gentle Care Vet in Hayward for our extremely anxious mini dachshund Maple. Our home is a small zoo with three dogs, a cat, and three humans all under one roof. Dan immediately came in and was able to assess and address the many dynamics at play. Since committing to Dan's recommendations and advice, we have seen significant improvements in Maple's anxiety. We are also now able to leave all three dogs at home while at work (not in kennels). Barking at the door and chasing the cat have also drastically improved. Dan is extremely personable and absolutely ADORES dogs. It meant so much to us that he was able to create a safe space for Maple during our training sessions. We never felt rushed during any of our sessions. Dan has always been available to answer phone calls and texts. Several times I sent him videos in between sessions to ask questions. My biggest advice if you move forward with Dan. COMMIT TO WHAT HE RECOMMENDS! Everything takes time but if you commit and change YOUR behavior you will slowly start to see your dogs behavior improve too. THANKS DAN! Maple no longer runs from cars and is so much more confident on walks and leaving the house! Photo of all three dogs and the cat cuddling. Which NEVER happened before working with Dan.
