FirstBarkPete is an excellent dog trainer, and was able to make progress with our Shiba Inus. We recently adopted a third dog and she was having trouble adjusting and was bullying our senior dog. Pete was very responsive, communicative, and our issues were addressed and fixed in less than 3 sessions. The best part is that all 3 of our dogs are happy and at peace in the house all together.

About Better Manners Home Dog Training
As an IACP professional in home dog trainer since 2001, and the former national training manager for an international dog training company, I have helped thousands of dogs and their humans understand why any behaviors take place and how to teach the new skills we want your dog to learn. From puppy basics, general obedience, to specific behavior instruction or specific behavior elimination, such as barking, jumping up, not coming when called, or even difficult situations like separation anxiety. I can show you how to achieve your goals with any behaviors your dog is choosing. The best way to describe what I do to help you is relationship based training.

Pete helped us train our timid rescue dog a couple years ago. Recently, we introduced a new, more confident rescue dog to our home, and he came back to help us manage the integration (which was not going well, at first). He helped us recognize how the dogs' personalities were different and how to treat and respond to them. He explains things in ways that both humans and dogs can understand and we are forever grateful for his help.
Great knowledge. Great feedback. Very flexible and easy to work with.
Pete is great, very helpful with my nervous and reactive buddy, Luna-Lu. I loved that he included his 3 dogs as part of our training! I know I need more training and find comfort that Pete is there for future needs.
Pete is an excellent trainer and teaches you to know your dog's behavior attributes and helps to get you more familiar with the signs your dog is giving. He matches your dog's personality type to the type of training best suited for the desired behavior. My husband and I are VERY pleased with our Cockapoo's training and we will use his services again if we get another dog! Thanks so much, Pete!
