FirstBarkService was great! Not only helped with the training but taught me what I needed to know to be a good leader to my pup. And the guaranteed continued advice is really worth the money.

Steve was fantastic. He was extremely comfortable to have in our home and had such a great demeanor with our dog. Our puppy is 7 1/2 months old and responded very well to Steve. We saw immediate progress in the couple hours that Steve was with us and we were left with great resources. He had concrete instructions for us instead of just concepts or ideas, we are feeling very confident moving forward and are excited to see the continued results. Huge thanks to Steve, would highly recommend.
Steve took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and tailored his approach accordingly. His expertise in dog behavior really shone through, and I saw significant improvements in just a few sessions. The techniques he taught us were easy to implement at home, leading to better obedience and a stronger bond between us.
Steven is a great, easygoing guy who is genuinely interested in helping you learn to help your dog. His calm, engaging personality made him a big hit with our dogs and his instruction is easy to follow and makes sense. We saw instant results in our anxious puppy, who began displaying more confidence right away. We highly recommend Steven and would use his services again without hesitation.
Hands down we were amazed with Steve’s ability and knowledge. He is truly The Dog Whisperer 🐾
