Finn and I are so grateful to have met Barak! As a 8month GSD, Finn was already so smart and I was able to tackle a lot of the basics of training with him, but we were hitting a wall with some aspects of socializing, not reacting in public to other dogs, finessing commands and understanding boundaries between work and play etc. In comes Barak and after only 4 weeks of board and train, Finn’s full potential was truly unlocked. Barak saw what Finn was capable of right away and knew exactly how to work with him to bring that out in positive way but also with a disciplined approach. He is now my go to for boarding while I’m often traveling for work, knowing Finn will have a loving home but also structure and reinforcement of his skills and training. Finn LOVES working with Barak as he knows how to engage his pack drive and tap into Finn’s desire to work while making it fun for him. He also taught me techniques so I can better harness Finn’s potential which makes our overall relationship so much better. We now go for off leash hikes (Barak e-collar trained him), play catch in the park and can sit at an outdoor restaurant with ease. I cannot thank Barak enough and I have a feeling he and his lovely fiancé Rachael (and their cute pup Riley) will always be a part of Finn’s life because they truly care and are invested in him, his happiness and progress. That is what makes a good trainer great and incredibly rare to find. We are so so grateful to have them as a part of Finn and my journey and I couldn’t recommend them enough!!
