FirstBarkJenn was an A+ dog trainer. I highly recommend her to anyone. She was professional and truly knowledgeable about dog behavior. We made an incredible amount of progress in 4 short weeks with our dog’s leash pulling, ability to handle distractions, and tightening up basic commands. Thank you, Jenn!!!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you have a training facility?
Not right now. We do in home visits or meet in the middle for training sessions as we prefer to work outside. We want to train pups to listen better and more consistently outside (outdoors is where it gets difficult for them). Hope this helps!

Wenz was great to work with. She helped our 7 year old dog refresh his obedience skills and really helped him learn self control! He made so much improvement in a short time and we would definitely recommend Back to Basics!
Jen helped me better understand my dog and that has transformed our relationship. She was very thoughtful and thorough and I’m grateful for the knowledge she gave me and my family. 100% recommend!
So thankful for Wen and the B2B team. I have a very friendly puppy who needed a lot of help learning his name and staying focused!

So thankful for Wen and the B2B team. I have a very friendly puppy who needed a lot of help learning his name and staying focused! We have seen such amazing progress in just a few short months and he continues to improve every single time we practice. Wen is so knowledgeable and the dogs just adore her. You can tell between the wonderful Back to Basics team and Posh Pet Club that this is all built purely out of true love and devotion for the dogs. Anyone who is looking for training that actually works (and someone you and your dog will love!) should look no further!

We are so thrilled with our two mini schnauzers progress in just four weeks of working with Jenn as our trainer! Jenn really knows her stuff and taught us the right techniques to handle leash reactivity and barking. She trains with love while still being firm. We’ve had several compliments from friends and neighbors who noticed a clear difference in our dogs’ behavior. It really makes us feel like proud dog dads! 10/10 would recommend Back to Basics to any dog parent looking for support!
