FirstBarkSam is really good with dogs. He is calm, present and patient. He is knowledgeable and personable. My dog coco Puff enjoyed being around him, and he behaves differently after only one session. I highly recommend his training sessions.

Sam is a fabulous trainer and runs a very professional business. He did wonders with my active 6 month old Golden Retriever puppy and I saw major improvements in her leash and off leash behavior after just 1 lesson. Puppyhood training was taking a toll on my 70 yr old body and Sam was able to give me some wonderful tools to mitigate the stress and strain on my body. Both me and my pup are grateful to him for his guidance.
Sam was awesome! I’ve met with him for only 3 sessions so far and my 6 month old puppy is far better mannered than before. We worked on leash manners, reactions, sit and stay drills, and off leash activities. Nala and I are grateful for Sam’s knowledge and understanding about dog training. Will be back for further sessions. Highly recommend!
Sam is giving me back happy dog days at the beach! My dog, Dilly, became leash reactive over time and we would walk where/when we'd avoid people with dogs. The beach became a place to avoid instead of enjoy. After our first session, I felt hope again that we'd be able to visit our favorite places without fear in the future! Yay, Sam!
Sam did a great job with my 10 month old lab. My dog was not leash trained and pulled a lot but after one session with Sam my dog was already learning very quickly. Great service and would recommend to anyone who needs their dog trained.
