FirstBarkCami is the dog whisperer😊 My rescue puppy was so timid and needed much socialization which these days isn’t easy to do. Cami trained my pup so well. She trained us too so we could reinforce her great work. My puppy loves her so much and can’t wait to jump in her car when she picks him up for training or day care. I highly recommend Cami for training and boarding!! She is the best!!!

Cami is by far the BEST! She is smart, patient, kind and compassionate. She knows what’s best for your dog. We will only leave our dog with her!
Cami is incredible at what she does! Her knowledge and teachings about ‘positive reinforcement’ training have been a life saver with raising our puppy, Finnigan. She is kind, patient, and intelligent, and we are so grateful to work with her. Finnigan looks forward to his training sessions with Cami at A Bark Idea 🥰🐶
We've been sending Grizzly to A Bark Idea since we brought Grizzly home almost 4 years ago. Cami is the best at what she does and my dog absolutely adores her. I love that she has a pick up service, does training, day care, overnight boarding and takes the dogs on hiking/beach adventures. Its pretty intimate and gives me a peace of mind when Grizzly is with her.

Growing up I was always jealous of my friends who had dogs. I always told myself as soon as I could be responsible for a pup I would go out and rescue one. I brought home an 8 week old Shepard and the first thing I did was look up "A Bark Idea". Cami came highly recommended from close friends of mine who said they used her for dog sitting and training. As a first time dog owner I wanted to make sure I did it right. Cami worked closely with me and my pup and is a true professional. I had a consultation with her where she went over all the goals she would set for us and ten followed up with a board and train, and then 3 private sessions. First of all she was great with my Shepard and second she trained me how to continue training my dog using "positive reinforcement". She is very patient thankfully because I'm pretty sure I required more training than my dog lol. Over all the experience was rewarding for both me and my pup! Would recommend her to anyone who wants to take their relationship with their dog/dogs to the next level Thanks so much Cami!!!! A Bark Idea ROCKS!
