FirstBarkDean did an amazing job training our dog, Jasper. We were extremely happy with how well Jasper performed when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing training or boarding. Great facility. 😊😊😊

This is an AMAZING place to take your pup of any age for training! They loved and cared for our dog and really formed a bond with them. They made sure to ask exactly what we were looking for in the training and tailored it specifically to the manners we wanted. Teaching us how to continue the training at home and feeling exactly how our dog feels when using the equipment. Highly recommend them for any training your dog may need with such great people!

We sent our 3 fairly reactive australian shepherds for the 20 day board & train and our only regret is not sending them sooner! Dean was our main point of contact throughout their training, sending us photos and videos several times a week, providing updates on their progress. We were always so excited to receive the videos to see how well they were doing with their training! While there, they worked on their reactivity to dogs and people, leash pulling, and separation anxiety. Upon pickup, Dean spent time with us to explain and walk us through all the things they had worked on to set us up for the best success once we got the dogs home. He has also been so helpful since we’ve been home with them— we’ve been able to ask follow up questions and get advice on how to best implement their training at home (since they are stubborn dogs). We’ve only had them home for a few days but they are doing so well being back in their own environment. We seriously cannot recommend Christian K9 and the staff enough! You will be so happy you sent your pups to them!
Did a 15 day board and train with our Dutch shepherd. Over great experience and very happy with the time Dean and Mitch spent with us from the evaluation to the post training review. Kept us updated on all progress and would highly recommend and come back
I met with one of the trainers for a consultation. I explained my goals and situation and they were able to make recommendations that did not involve lengthy training sessions of boarding! I was thrilled, the new methods have already curbed my dogs unwanted behavior! I will be using them again in the future for any additional training needs!
