FirstBarkJustin is the best trainer. We brought our 6 month old energetic and rambunctious pit mix to work with Justin. He taught us so much, gave us the tools we need to work with our dog, learn our dog, and how to handle him in a city like New York. Thanks to him, we have a super happy and well trained dog!

TLOD is unmatched. Justin is the absolute best dog trainer & person. He hears you but he keeps you honest as well. Justin also will bring his own iconic dog, Brutus, to help train. Brutus is amazing with everyone and everything; he has an indescribable demeanor. Plus Brutus is the goat and they do a lot of cool stuff! Justin has done so much for my dog Beluga from the very start - basic obedience to impulse control to e-collar training and more. You learn you have no unique experience with Justin - he has seen it all. Beluga & Brutus are each other’s body stunt doubles. Beluga has learned so much from not only Justin, but Brutus too. Justin has also taught me so much. He is extremely knowledgeable, adaptable to every dog, timely, and generous. Cannot recommend Justin, Brutus, and his incredible dog training business enough. NYC is losing the best.
Absolutely wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable about multiple different dog training methods and techniques. Explains everything in a clear and easy to implement way. Can truly tell Justin and his trainers enjoy what they do and display the upmost care for your dog truly wanting to help your dog be the best version of themselves. Also has the best side kick/assistant, Brutus!

We had an amazing experience with Justin as our dog trainer. When we moved to the city, our dog Leo was really struggling with anxiety and was super reactive on walks, making it almost impossible to navigate the busy streets. Justin was incredibly knowledgeable, and he really helped us get Leo’s reactivity under control. Thanks to his guidance, Leo has become so much more confident and calm on walks. We can’t thank Justin enough for making such a difference in our lives and Leo’s. Highly recommend him!

Justin Silver is an incredible dog trainer. I have a Maltese named Gnocchi (yes named after the pasta) who came from South Korea and exhibited aggressive behavior and biting. In one session, Justin allowed me to think differently about Gnocchi and how I relate to him and taught me skills and techniques that have helped shape his life in such a positive way. He went from a dog that I was scared to pet to a dog that now sleeps in bed with us nightly. If you are considering trainers, it would be a disservice to not use Justin. Plus, he has a pretty cute training dog named Brutus who you’ll get to spend time with too. Highly recommend — he is the very best!!🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺🐾🦴
