FirstBarkValor K9 was such a blessing for my dog Ludwig and I! Ludwig did a board and train service dog training and he came out of the training a completely different dog in the best way! He was trained to perfection with every task he was put to. I could not recommend Valor K9 enough!

Tater and I were blessed to receive Aaron as our trainer. Tater is a 3 year old rescue that knew no commands and had no leash training and zero self control. After his board and training, Tater can do off leash with recall and walks on leash with minimal issue. Aaron was amazing in training Tater per our discussion on my expectations. Aaron was very good at training me also in order to be affective in continuing and maintaining what my dog has learned. Whenever I get a chance to have Tater see Aaron I take it as Tater absolutely loves being around him and his family. It has truly been a change from the stray shelter dog that I adopted to the dog I have now. Thanks to Amy for seeing what Tater needed and connecting us with her trainer Aaron.
Aaron is an exceptional dog trainer who transformed my high drive field Labrador from being out of control to a well behaved disciplined dog. I will be forever grateful for his dedication to us. We will have a good life together as a result of his hard work. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience with our 10 month old American Bulldog! Wyatt is our third AB from the same line, but he was more stubborn and physically stronger than the past ones. Aaron and Amy did an excellent job understanding what we needed/wanted out of him. The board and train program was not only effective, but Wyatt was treated like family while with Aaron. His recall off leash, place bed, and manners are excellent. Highly recommend!
