FirstBarkDave has vast knowledge and several years experience training canines. He is able to problem solve the issues, not only with the canine but also with the client and their handling and corrective abilities towards their canine. I have seen first hand the passion and dedication that Dave has while training canines and giving guidance to the client.

About ProActive Dog Training LLC
My passion for training dogs began long before I could pursue a career in it. I started training and showing Rottweilers for confirmation in Junior AKC Rings when I was 12. I continued to compete in this arena until I began to prepare for a career with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP). When I joined the ranks of PSP in 1999, I did so knowing that I would be pursuing a position in their K-9 Unit. We offer the following trainings: Behavior modification Socialization training Nail grooming Ear cleaning Day Training Board & Training Sessions Maintenance Training Sessions for existing clients Puppy Training Services Specialized Puppy Training Classes Reactivity Training
