FirstBarkTodd was helpful in my consultation providing me with reading material and advice that helped me understand Timmy better. He uses Positive Reinforcement and Patience, which is a huge plus!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Why does my puppy pee in the house five minutes after coming from outside?
Potty training can be stressful time for pet parents. My single session teaches the “mechanics” of potty training and helps you to develop a rigorous schedule of consistency so you can achieve your housebreaking goal in the shortest time possible.

My dog pulls on his leash so hard, I don’t enjoy our walks any longer because I can barely control him. Is there a way to stop him from pulling on his leash so we can enjoy our walks together?
I have helped countless people of all ages to gain leash control. Sometimes it’s a simple manner of having the appropriate equipment. Usually, it requires 3-1 hour sessions to teach you and your dog the four different types of walks, proper leash techniques and commands that will make walking fun for parent and pet.

Been working with Todd for few months with our 5 month old Dachshund and she’s made such great progress since we’ve started training, she’s like a whole new puppy. Information i never even knew i needed provided for me each training session, all my questions have been answered. Absolutely phenomenal.

My puppy and I have been doing very well since our training sessions with Todd. I’ve continued to practice the commands daily, and I’m already seeing great progress. We’ve tried incorporating the exercises outside, though there are still a few distractions to work through. Todd has been excellent with follow-up and support, which I really appreciate. His guidance has made a noticeable difference in Remy’s behavior and confidence. Highly recommend!

I hunted and hunted the internet trying for find a trainer for our Bernedoodle Bruno. He is 15 weeks old and already 41 lbs., we have our hands full with him. Todd has given us the tools to work with Bruno and help him become the companion my family wants. We are two sessions in and we can already notice a difference in Bruno. Todd is a fantastic trainer and I cannot recommend him enough. If Google allowed 10 stars, I'd pick that. Call this man if you have a dog, he can help!

We spoke with Todd on the phone for about 30 minutes. His knowledge and understanding our dog’s temperament and behaviors, without even describing them to him, was exactly what we are experiencing and providing us with training strategies was so helpful to us. He was encouraging that we are doing the right things for our 60lb puppy. Todd did not try to sell us on his services, he genuinely thought we are doing our best by our pup. Which is so appreciated. We could tell in our phone conversation how much he enjoys working with dogs and their owners to ensure happy waggy tails. If the need ever arises we would definitely hire Todd to further help us with our dog. Thank you!! The Robson’s
