FirstBarkWorking with Ricky from Elite transformed my Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is incredibly clear, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I am so grateful for the impact this experience has had and will continue to have for years. Highly recommend.

Ricky and Vanessa are the best! He reminds me of Caesar Milan, the dog whisperer. They are the only people I trust with my dog.

I will forever be grateful for them.

From the initial consultation to the thoughtful training follow-ups with Ricky, the daily email updates on her progress, and the photos you sent along the way—it was clear she was in great hands. More than that, it showed just how much you genuinely care for every dog you train and board.

Ricky was wonderful! We brought our adult dog in for an evaluation and we learned a lot about what she needs to work on. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our questions!
