The Bark Stop™️ Force Free, Reward Based Puppy & Dog Training

We had an outstanding experience and couldn’t be happier with the service and training provided. From the very beginning, Joe was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping our pup succeed. Since starting training, we’ve seen a huge improvement—our dog is noticeably less fearful and much more confident, especially when it comes to following commands. It’s been incredible to watch that transformation. Joe not only worked with our dog, but also took the time to teach us how to reinforce everything at home, which made a big difference. It’s clear he’s passionate about what he does and truly wants every dog to be the best they can be. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch training.

We cannot recommend Joe highly enough! We brought our two cavapoos, Millie and Theo, to Joe for training, and the results have truly been life-changing — for them and for us. From the very first session, Joe’s passion for dogs was obvious. He took the time to understand each of their personalities individually, which made a huge difference. Millie and Theo are both cavapoos, but they have very different temperaments, and Joe adapted his approach beautifully for each of them. He never used a one-size-fits-all method — he was patient, attentive, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. What really sets Joe apart is his ability to teach the owners just as much as the dogs. He made sure we understood the “why” behind every technique, so we could reinforce everything consistently at home. Thanks to his guidance, we feel so much more confident handling Millie and Theo in all kinds of situations — whether it’s walks, meeting new people, or just day-to-day life at home. The progress Millie and Theo made was remarkable. Commands that once felt impossible are now second nature to them, and the change in their overall behavior and confidence has been incredible to witness. Joe made the sessions fun and positive, and both dogs genuinely loved working with him — which says it all! If you’re looking for a dog trainer who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly gets results, look no further than Joe. He’s an absolute gem, and our little family is so grateful for everything he’s done for Millie and Theo. 🐾

We had an amazing experience with Joe! He trained both of our cavapoos and truly exceeded our expectations. From the start, he set realistic, achievable goals that made the whole process feel manageable and encouraging. Our dogs are high-energy, and Joe not only helped improve their behavior so much, but also taught us effective ways to get their energy out in a positive, productive way. They are now so much better behaved, and we feel way more confident handling them day to day. The dogs genuinely loved Joe and were always excited to go to training sessions. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy they were while still making great progress. We’re so grateful for everything Joe taught us and our dogs! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer!

I had 12 sessions of training with Joe for my French bulldog who has no previous training or socialization. He now walks without pulling, knows simple commands , and is able to have fun at the dog park. The best part is that he truly enjoyed his training he was very excited and eager to learn new things. I would recommend Bark Stop Training to anyone who wants a positive based training with proven results.

Confident personalized training! We just completed our 8-week session with Joe and our now 7-month old doodle. This was our second dog trained through Joe. Joe created training sessions built on confidence, fun, and consistent direction. Our goal was to have a social dog that we could bring everywhere, and with Joe’s training, we confidently can! Now, we as owners have a foundation to tackle most challenges, and our dog has the tools to make proper decisions. With Joe’s instruction, we practiced recall, stay, “walk with me,” “on, off” and a series of commands to encourage success at home, parks, restaurants, and stores. Thank you for everything Joe!!
