FirstBarkMike did such a great job with our Mildred, she is a stubborn dog that doesn’t always listen. Mike didn’t give up, he did an amazing job with her. I believe it is worth the $$, I wouldn’t hesitate in sending another dog to Mike.

We took Mike at Ozark Canine Academy a very stubborn dog we couldn’t take anywhere because she was a flight risk and only wanted to do what she wanted and had zero leash manners. After Mikes class we now have a very obedient dog who loves putting on the leash and going places and for walks. Her mannerisms are night and day better. Our family is extremely happy we sent Zippy to work with Mike and wish we would have done it sooner.

We had an incredible experience working with Mike. We did a lot of research prior to selecting the training company we wanted to send our dog to. This was by far the best in the area, and it lived up to its reviews. My dog is a rescue who was afraid of just about everything, jumped on everyone, and caused us so much stress there were many times we were afraid we weren't going to be able to keep her. Ever since picking her up from training, she has been an angel! She is more confident, still her goofy personality, and overall is a happier dog because we have a better communication system. She is even working towards her therapy dog certification, which I truly never knew if that was going to be possible prior to training. Mike worked with us to make sure we had mutual goals and truly cares for the dogs as well! I would highly recommend OCA to anyone.
i booked my dog in advance but sadly my dog got sick and needed to cancel. we were able to cancel easy and get a refund for the deposit. thank you so much.
We dropped off a 6 month old that was scared of every sound and fast movement and wouldn’t listen to anything, 4 weeks later we picked up a well mannered, self confident pup that was still his goofy self but is the best dog to live with now. Off leash walks daily, very well mannered around the grandkids and all people in general(no jumping on them) Highly recommend!!!!
