FirstBarkToby is great at what he does. The great thing is those neat recaps he sends after each training session that my wife and I can refer to when needed. Highly recommended.

Tobias was extremely responsive and understood what I needed to do with my dog. His methods, knowledge, attitude and professionalism made the experience very different in such a short time we accomplished so much and he went the extra mile to make sure we could achieve our goals. I’ll definitely keep working with Toby in a near future and I highly recommend him.
Our service dog training came to an end with Toby this past Saturday. Toby did an amazing job right from the start, gave clear instructions, showed us how each command is done, gave us time to practice and send us recaps. Thank you Toby, we will miss you!
Toby is a fantastic trainer. He’s incredibly patient, both with the dog and the owner. He comes to each session prepared with tools such as collars, leashes, etc. Highly recommend and would hire him again.
Toby gave us everything we needed to start our obedience journey with our new german shepherd. He brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the table. Would definitely recommend.
