FirstBarkJose, the trainer, helped us a lot with our Pitbull, Roxy. She was very energetic and pulled a lot when we went for walks. After 7-9 days, there was a significant improvement. I highly recommend him. We're still working on Roxy's walks.

Best trainer Boarding is awesome with dog father , dogs will be in a super clean and wonderful space
I am so happy that I could find a trainer for my dog. She would constantly bark at other dogs and get aggressive with small children. Thanks to the DogFather my dog does not get aggressive with other dogs and does not bark as much. I was unsure at first since my dog is kind of old (11 years) but in the end I am greatful that I found him to train my dog. 10/10 would recommend! :)
They are incredibly dedicated and loving with my dogs. They maintain constant communication and send videos all the time. My Bambino is my most precious treasure, and I trust them completely. 10 out of 10
Jose is training Toby, who is only 5 months old, and it's truly impressive to see how he creates the perfect training program for both Toby and us, his owners, despite our different personalities. He guides you to achieve the changes or improvements you want to make with your pet. I recommend him 100%. He's absolutely reliable and respectful. Thank you, Jose! ⭐
