FirstBarkTeaches people and the dogs learn from their people. I'm 75 and have been attending for 5 years. This is the first time I've trained a dog for obedience and a sport called rally. Decided to compete and my dog and I are proof of the techniques. Lots of ribbons. Lots of fun with terrific participants.

Diane and her staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and do a great job training humans to train their dogs! Diane's wit and humor makes the class enjoyable, and her no fluff approach to teaching allows you to get down to business and get the most out of your training classes. We completed three rounds of classes with our wild lab pup, and we could not have survived these 7 months of puppy ownership without the help from Diane! She truly knows what she is doing and does it well.

We took our one-year-old to two of Dianne's classes. We also went to Puppy Playtime when we could. We had previously had our dog to another trainer, and that experience was neither pleasant nor rewarding. Buddy loved Dianne and learned quickly. We both thought I would never learn! Dianne was not only patient with me, she was hysterical. We both laughed a lot about how inept I was. We highly recommend the e-collar that we purchased from her. It allows our little one to play safely with young children and run wild in the West Virginia woods. She won't just sell you one, she'll teach you how to correctly use it. Dianne, you were the very best. Worth every penny! Marilyn Harrison
