FirstBarkRebecca is a seasoned dog trainer. I don't think there was any problem our 2 pups had, that she wasn't able to address. She's excellent at what she does and our lives our so much easier with well behaved pups. Having the right tools and coaching makes a huge difference. Thanks Rebecca for all your help with our two crazy pups.

Rebecca was kind and knowledgeable She obviously loves what she does. Our skittish pup, Nellie, took to her quickly and their bond helped her gain the confidence to respond to training. Nellie’s older brother Goose also got trained and they are both doing great. We feel like we now have more control and less anxiety. Thanks Rebecca!!
Our puppy, Finley, had two private training sessions with Rebecca. She is so good with dogs and seems to truly love her job. Finley definitely loved her and does much better in public places than he did before his training.

If you strive for a well behaved dog, Asheville Dog Academy is the place to go. We recently adopted Petra and I was wanting to make her less excited when encountering other dogs while out walking. Additionally I wanted to work on recalls. Rebecca was outstanding, she has such a calm, confident approach to training, I learned so much from her. Petra is already walking calmly when approaching other dogs. Thank you Rebecca, Petra and I can’t wait to do a scent class with you!
We highly recommend Asheville Dog Academy. Miss Rebecca was excellent with us and our two hounds. We had five in home training sessions and the results so far are unbelievable. Thank you, Rebecca for your time and patience with us and Molly and Ellie. You are amazing.
