FirstBarkJake and his team did a great job with my GSD pup Coco. Prior to training, Coco was constantly jumping and chewing things. After 3 weeks at the Spot 4 Dogs Scenic City, Coco listens and is well behaved.

I recommend The Spot 4 Dogs, they did a wonderful job on my dog. My dog Jabarkus, is a rescue and came to us with some bad habits. He would bark at other dogs, pull on his leash and we couldn’t take him out because of it. The time he spent with Jake at The Spot 4 Dogs was priceless. Jabarkus can do all the basic commands and does not constantly bark at other dogs like he used to. Send your dog here for your training needs.

I'll start with the quick summary: I highly recommend The Spot 4 Dogs- the time our dogs spent with Jake was an incredible investment and they are much more well behaved. If you need help training your dogs, look no further. Now, I digress.... I think many of us get a dog with this idealistic vision that we are going to invest the time, effort, and resources to train them. They're going to be good dogs; the best dogs! And, though we are well intentioned, time has a way of getting away from us all. So day by day, week by week, we try a little training here and there- sit, stay, good boy. But, though they are also well intentioned, dogs will be dogs. And dogs aren't born speaking English or following commands. Suddenly you look at your home and realize that it is the dogs' home. And you are simply living your life around them. Everything you do is done with them at the forefront of the process. You go to get your seat on the couch after work and there's a dog there- a dog who has no intention of giving up their spot. You hesitate to invite guests over because they are going to be pounced on by your rambunctious mongrels. And you slowly accept this life as normal. Then we had a baby- and things had to change. It is said that dogs start to exhibit behavioral issues when there are changes to their environment. Well, our two dogs had a violent tussle in close proximity to our baby. That's when we called Jake. Taco and Clyde spent three weeks at Boot Camp. It was hard for us, sending our little rascals away. Not always knowing how they were doing at camp. Knowing that they probably missed us. Wondering if they knew if they were ever coming home. But it was easily worth it. I can honestly say I never thought we would be able to eat dinner- while feeding our baby (food constantly falling to the floor, taunting weaker dogs)- with our dogs patiently sitting in their spots, waiting on us to release them. We are able to take them on a walk without them turning their leashes into a twine of braided rope- walking with us and stopping with us. It's impressive to look back at how things were before our dogs were trained and compare it to now. They are still dogs- goofy, sweet, well-intentioned; but now they have rules and structure in their lives. So like I said- HIGHLY recommend. See attached: Taco and Clyde (pre-intervention)
Jake and Anna were amazing trainers to my crazy kipple. She is extremely playful full of energy. I had no idea where too start! They trained me just as much has they trained her. They were extremely helpful on explaining the entire process to me, getting her to a really good point and giving me what I needed to keep going with her. Kipple also loves going there!
Jake did an amazing job on our girls I have a staffy and a boxer females my staffy wants to be alpha and fights have happened. It was stressing us out a lot instead of giving up on them (rehoming one or both). We decided to give training a try. We should have done this years ago. They are so much calmer and non reactive. Thank you Jake!
