FirstBarkRicky and his team of dog lovers have been fantastic with my 100 pound puppy with endless energy and intrusive non-listening manners. Osito is now well on his way to healing and coming when I call him with distractions and all. Thank you for shaping Osito into an even better dog.

Nothing short of a MIRACLE!!!! I cannot recommend Ricky and his staff enough. We are so, so, SO grateful to have a well-behaved puppy now. I don't know how they did it in just three weeks (we did the overnight stay option, which was completely worth it). But they did. We have a loving but challenging sweet pup who was a whole different personality from our older dog (who was much easier to train ourselves). She was food obsessed (still is, but totally in control now) and jumped at us sitting at the table and grabbed food out of our mouths! She also is a major barker, now completely manageable. She may do a bark here or there, but is easily redirected and stops. She heels and lies down easily. She jumped to say hi to people and they also resolved that. She absolutely HATED her crate (would bark/cry non-stop) and now she goes in without issue. She may have a whimper here or there initially, but immediately stops when we use our commands learned from Ricky. Having a well-behaved dog is truly priceless, and I would do this again in a heartbeat if needed with another pup. Also, it's so clear that Ricky and the other staff truly love the dogs. It made me so happy to watch Ricky in our training sessions with our pup and know she was in good, loving hands during the process. THANK YOU!!!!
Ricky, Vanessa, and the awesome team at Elite Pup Training provided excellent care for our little doggie. They were patient, caring, and earned his trust in no time! The facilities are large, and well equiped for all types of dogs. Highly recommend their services!

I have a american bully blue nose pitbull thats as stuborn as can be. She tests me on the daily. I decided to get some help and met with ricky from elite pup training. I felt at ease and comfortable right from the start. He is great at teaching and putting together the right program for you and your family and your dog. E collars get a bad rap Get educated on them. Great tool to help turn your puppy into a dog Thank you for all the love u showed my dog ricky and staff See you for boarding when i go out of town
Highly recommend! Ricky and the team did wonders for my very anti-dog 6 year old husky/shepherd! Over the 5 week board and train and boarding visits, he became so desensitized to other dogs, and got so much better at meeting new people too!

Highly recommend! Ricky and the team did wonders for my very anti-dog 6 year old husky/shepherd! Over the 5 week board and train and boarding visits, he became so desensitized to other dogs, and got so much better at meeting new people too! I wish I had done this years before instead of trying to keep him away from any triggers. Sign up now, it will make a world of difference in your relationship with your pup and quality of life.
