FirstBarkDoggieology does such a great job at training and there is such an amazing staff here. We enrolled my dog in puppy training camp for a week and she is five years old now and she is such a well-behaved girl! I couldn't recommend them more! I board my dog whenever we travel.

Carla is a wonderful trainer. She understand the dog mentality and how to train us owners on how to speak the same language as our dogs.
Carla worked with my husband and me in our home. She addressed specific problems we are experiencing with our dog. Her principles of dog training made sense to me. She used examples that were specific and understandable. Her goals included long and short behavioral changes. She used analogies to make her point which led to greater understanding for me. Man, do I have a lot of work to do!

An amazing facility with friendly and dedicated staff. These folks really care and have made it their mission to understand dog psychology and give you the tools to repair and maintain a healthy relationship with your dog. We did the 3-week program to address some resource guarding agression issues and I can frankly tell you we have been given another chance with our pup. The program is intense and does cost a good chunk of change, but with all the check-ins and follow ups you can clearly see where your money is going, and if you see it as an investment, it will give you the chance you're looking for to keep your beloved fur friend. Be prepared to have to adjust how you'll interact with them, you'll have to be a strict and strong leader, especially during the 2 months after the program, but if you put in the work it will pay off in droves. 5 stars!

Carla and the employees of Doggiology were wonderful. Our Miniature Schnauzer puppy, Georgia, learned so much attending ‘Puppy Preschool’. Carla and Suzanne ensured that we were informed regarding what was practiced and how we could facilitate the practice in our home environment. Videos of Georgia’s progress and helpful resources were also provided to us.The facility and the outdoor training areas are beautiful and we felt more than comfortable entrusting Georgia to the entire staff. Georgia learned many skills: how to follow on a leash, find ‘place’, manage stairs, and how to interact appropriately with other dogs (to name a few). We are finding success at home and are confident she will continue to thrive. Carla truly has a gift and her willingness to share it with others benefits her families and dogs! We look forward to our future visits to Doggiology!
