FirstBarkScott was awesome to work with and gave me all the tools I needed to work through my dog's leash reactivity. He spent so much time teaching me the 'why' behind the behaviors and how to approach a change. I would recommend him to anyone and loved working with him!

Scott has now saved my life twice! I have rescued a couple of dogs with challenging behaviors to work through—and I needed help. Separation anxiety, reactivity, you name it, Scott has the wisdom, experience, and tools to share. I wouldn’t have the loving relationships with my now happy, well-adjusted dogs without his training and coaching. Thank you, Scott!

At the end of our rope, we came to Scott in dealing with our dog's problematic behavior. After several veterinarians and trainers told us they had never seen a dog behave like ours, Scott was able to quickly identify her behavior as control-related aggression and resource guarding (two terms I had not heard of until then). He ensured us he had seen this type of behavior many times, and most importantly, it was fixable, and he knew what needed to be done to remedy the behavior. He provided numerous techniques, exercises, and tips that have become lifesavers. We began seeing improvements in just a matter of days, most notably walking our dog changed immediately. If your dog has behavioral-related issues, particularly aggression, I highly recommend USA Dog Behavior. IT has given us hope again.

To anyone who feels alone/lost in their journey of having a reactive dog, Scott and his services are best tool I’ve experienced and discovered. I’m very happy I was able to meet Scott and learn tons about dog behavior. Scott is such a wonderful teacher and is able to package different techniques in a digestible manner. As I continue to do all the exercises he recommended, I’m seeing more improvement. I recommend his services to anyone who needs help with their dog’s behavior and to stay consistent.
We adopted an older dog in November 2020. He had high anxiety due to his time in shelters. Scott helped us to better understand our dog's needs and make him comfortable in his new surroundings. Today he is a beloved family member who takes walks in the neighborhood, greets adult friends in our home and gets tons of compliments! Thanks Scott!
