FirstBarkCesar is great. He was able to come into my home and quickly identify why my dogs were behaving the way they do and give me practical solutions to work with my dogs challenges. Plus he has a very generous nature.

My dog and I loved the group class with Cesar! He’s great at meeting dogs where they are and tailoring sessions and activities to the group. My rescue dog ended up knowing a lot of the commands we worked on in class, and Cesar gave us ways to build on those skills to make them more challenging. I learned a lot in the class, and both me and my dog feel more confident and bonded after taking the course.
Cesar at Woofs & Wags trained us, and our puppy, 😉 the right way! 😊 We learned all the best practices at a great price and how to address unwanted behaviors too. Cesar was always available for our questions and concerns. He was very patient and encouraging in each lesson. It’s obvious he loves what he does and is highly skilled. We highly recommend him!

I learned so much in the group training class. Cesar was lovely to work with and gave individualized guidance, as well as follow up written instructions for daily practice which I found very helpful. My “highly reactive to other dogs” dog, whom we recently adopted, showed noticeable improvement over the five week course. Cesar went above and beyond to meet up with my partner for a joint dog walk to help further our dog’s progress. I highly recommend Cesar’s services.
Cesar is absolutely amazing. I adopted a 2.5 year old larger breed and was struggling to get her to understand commands or cue’s. One session for one hour was all it took for her to learn the ropes and she’s been great since. Will definitely be coming around for more help.
