FirstBarkToby was great! Our dog was barking and jumping on people and generally being an a-hole, but now he is a calmer good buy after a few sessions with Toby :)

Toby is an exceptional dog trainer who transformed my pup's behavior in just a few sessions! His expertise, patience, and genuine love for dogs shine through in every interaction. He tailored the training to my dog's unique needs, using positive reinforcement techniques that were both effective and fun. Toby's clear communication and follow-up tips made it easy for me to reinforce the training at home. My dog is now well-mannered, confident, and a joy to be around, all thanks to Toby's incredible skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch dog training!
Toby was kind to Rupert (our dog) and gave us tools to stop him from barking and chasing other dogs.

Toby is excellent and we highly recommend him. He's got significant experience, listens to the owner, and focuses on the specific issues they think most important. We needed help with housebreaking our 3 yo rescue Frenchie. We were at our wits end. Toby proposed several changes that helped immediately getting her and us on track. Also had several recommendations for equipment and things that would help us. We had him come for three sessions. He's a dog whisperer and she jumped in his lap when he came over. He cared about her and her progress. A good owner trains a dog, something that's not always easy. For that Toby is the guy you need.
Excellent work done with my dog and me . takes the time so you know what to work on and how
