FirstBarkNick helped us train our German Shepherd to walk better on a leash. He really helped us not only eliminate troublesome behavior and have more confidence while walking with her. Nick is knowledgeable, skilled and nurturing.

Shows amazing patience with dogs and trainers for a more comfortable training environment for all parties.
Nick's ability to work with the dogs is quite impressive. He never fails. And the prowess of his working dog, Sugar, is amazing. If your dog needs some "tweaking", give him a call. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.
