FirstBarkClementine exceeded my expectations by far. She really gets one on one with your pup and focuses on there specific needs. This training was amazing for my dog. I would, and have recommend her to anyone. This is not your basic shock collar dog training, it’s really a positive reward training that your dog will love! Thanks for everything you did for my guy!

I cannot begin to express how grateful we have been to find Becca. We rescued a sweet girlie with some stressful baggage and we did not know where to begin and felt very overwhelmed. Becca's care, concern and genius talent has been a lifesaver. We have worked through some difficult training and behavior issues and are in such a better place. We also now have our own knowledge and understanding of our dog which I don't think we would have gained on our own.
My husband and I had such an amazing experience working with Becca. We love her approach to training and have seen so much progress in our dog.

Becca really took the time to understand what our dog needed and built the best training plan for him. She has a true love for the pups she works with.

We adopted a dog that needed training; specifically to take walks, listen, and adjust to not being in a kennel all day. After a month of trying on our own referencing books, other dog owners etc. we contacted Becca. We learned tools and techniques from Becca that we could easily do ourselves and that were the best fit for our dogs needs. Her one on one expertise was priceless. Becca checked in on our training and gave not only professional care, but genuine care for our family and dog. She was a wealth of information on how to care for our dog with an individualized plan and on dog accessories we still love and use months later. If you’re looking for someone to help you and your dog she is your trainer.
