FirstBarkChad is an entertaining, informative instructor, and being able to have puppy social time in addition to the more structured classes really helped my pup across the board. Highly recommended.

Great resource for learning how to raise a dog
A paradise for dogs!
Chad is an excellent teacher of the proper way to train a dog. I came in to his obedience training class with much trepidation because of my inexperience in and lack of understanding about dog training. Chad educated me and helped me get the results I want from my dog. My dog earned his certificate yesterday and I am very proud of him. I highly recommend Thriving Canine!
Best Dog Trainer ever...Chad you rock!
