FirstBarktraining was worthless and very expensive edit: based on owner's response, they assume the one who signs the check is the only one taking care of the dog, which is not the kind of assumptions a respectable dog training facility would make

How much is in house training?
It wasn’t extremely expensive and they also offer discounts for first responders and military

Would this be a good place to take an older dog that has become aggressive?
ABSOLUTELY! They take ANY dog, ANY age, ANY issue!

Hello. My dog spent time with a foster, and since then has been food aggressive and sometimes won’t even eat. She also uses the bathroom all over the house no matter how many times she’s taken outside. Is this place a good fit for issues like this?
We work on food aggression daily! As for the potty re-potty training, regardless of the reason the dog regressed you need to go back to basics ASAP! http://offleashgeorgia.com/2017/10/25/housebreaking-your-puppy/

It's good to know that I made the right choice! I lean to reviews to confirm that real world experiences are good, I've enjoyed having a noteworthy improvement in our puppy's behavior that I expect to stand the test of time

I cant say enough about how excellent this program and especially our trainer, Mike Trimble, have been! I was very nervous about e-collar training and trusting a stranger with it on our 1-year old puppy. Mike proved immediately he is skilled as a trainer and could be trusted to care for our family friend. We got multiple updates daily with thoughtful comments and lots of pictures and videos. We could tell by the second day our girl had acclimated to the training environment and was happy to be with Mike. In two weeks we've learned that this location has an impeccable reputation for good reason. Our husky-mix puppy was inattentive and headstrong- she's still the exact same dog and lost none of her personality- but now, she's shown she is eager to prove herself an obedient and attentive friend. She's just a more improved version of her old self and we couldn't be happier. The two-week board and train is the beginning platform for lifelong training and companionship. We achieved more in these two weeks than in the past year and will be coming back undoubtedly when we add to our family. Thanks!
It's been a year since I turned over my Scarlett to Ellen for training at off leash k9 and I could not be happier with the results. She is much more responsive to me in different public places that I would have been afraid to take her and she quickly became a local favorite.
