FirstBarkAvi has been absolutely amazing working with my rescue Chow Chow/German Shepherd mix. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and truly understands dogs with challenging backgrounds. I’ve seen real progress in both my dog’s behavior and confidence, and I feel much more confident as an owner. I can’t recommend Avi enough!

When I first reached out to Avi, I was desperate. I had just adopted a dog that has never had boundaries and is already a little older. My dog’s behavior is challenging, but in the month I have been meeting with Avi, (twice a week) has made such a difference. Shadow has improved so much and he is already a very different dog, than when I first called. I’m so thankful Avi returned my call and that I have had the opportunity to work with him to improve my dog’s behavior. I absolutely recommend him to help train your puppy and mature dogs. He communicates really well, provides after session feedback and homework :) Shadow and I thank you very much for all the work you do for us!
A month into wkly sessions and very grateful to have run across Avi for our baby. Wasnt sure what to expect at first but Avi walks us through after every session. You'll never feel like what's next or where are things at. As a first time pet owner im glad I found avi to help guide us and share his knowledge.

Three months to the day I adopted Sadie Bug from a local shelter. She had been neglected, abandoned, and just had a litter of puppies. She was only a puppy herself but when I got her home I realized she suffered from separation anxiety, was not housebroken, darted out the front door and generally lacked in obedience. I came across Avi’s business card and saw he specialized in shelter pups. One of the best calls I could have made. He came to the house and instantly won Sadie’s affection. As advertised he is affordable, compassionate, calm and incredibly knowledgeable. He taught me how to teach her what she needs to get along with the cats, sleep through the night, to be housebroken and generally listen and comply with my directions. After five sessions Sadie is a different dog and I will continue to use all of the techniques and insight Avi has taught me. He is an extremely intuitive trainer and thoroughly understands dogs. I’m so grateful to have found him. I highly recommend his services to any and all dog owners. By the way, after each session he sends a detailed summary of what was covered to review and simplify the process.
His service was outstanding. 10/10 the puppy whisperer
