Testimonials
“Graham is amazing. I have worked with him in training two Shepherds over the years. Graham develops gentle and patient individual training methodologies customized to the client. Each of my Shepherds had very different training needs. The first was a difficult rescue that needed significant socialization and the second a talented kennel dog with little obedience training. Not only were the training programs very successful, but also each dog were excited to see Graham each week. I totally recommend Graham for all levels of training!”

“My two year old German Shepard and I have been training with Graham for the better part of a year and have made great progress. Graham is a skilled trainer and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend Barkfit for anyone looking to invest in their dog’s training.”

“Thank you Graham, you make miracles happen. We have been through numerous trainers and only you have been able to help us ‘tame the beast’ named Mira. We are enjoying her as a family member and look forward to future progress under your guidance. Thank you again! PS. We can vacuum our house again.”
