FirstBarkCathy was amazing! We were so impressed with her knowledge of dogs and training methods. She came over to our home for (3) sessions and we saw immediate results with our dogs. Highly recommend her and we are so thankful we found her - she does a wonderful job! Thanks Cathy!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
We have a 4 yr old border collie 50 lbs who is wonderful with people but becomes aggressive around other dogs, especially by her house. She was attacked by two german shepards and has not been dog friendky since. Can she be retrained?
Most likely yes however I would like to chat with you and get more info before I can answer for sure. Give me a call when you have a few minutes.

Cathy is absolutely great. Imparted very useful information, understood our pup, worked on very specific issues with us. Love that she comes to us (where the problems occur) and took the time to work with our toddler granddaughter and the dog. Highly recommend her!
We only wish we had met Cathy sooner than we did . We have two once labeled as Yappy dogs (mini schnauzer) to well behaved , social dogs that can walk nicely and not bark at at everything. She is a wonderful teacher and we are ever grateful for her patience and love to this craft of training dogs. We implemented all of her techniques and saw fast results. We are ever so grateful.

I waited to write this review for a month or two after Cathy came and helped us with our dog, Larry. I am thrilled to say that her training and techniques (as well as consistent training) have completely worked and Larry really is, "a good boy". We have owned dogs before, but for whatever reason we could not get through to Larry. Within a few minutes (literally) of Cathy meeting our dog, he was doing things that we could not get him to do. She is exceptional with dogs, and has a wonderful way of explaining to the owner how dogs think, and what they respond to. I can not recommend Cathy enough. If you have a dog that is giving you issues, please consider getting help from her. It made all the difference for us.
Cathy has been amazing for Stella and my husband and I. Our extremely hyper puppy needed alot of training, but not just her but we needed training too. She has helped our little family greatly.
