FirstBarkFDO is a wonderful place to go for dog training. Val is one of the most knowledgeable trainers I've ever met. Many of our beardie pups have gone thru puppy classes and versatility training. Val did some home visits to help us with a noise sensitive dog.
Family Dog Obedience
Butler, Pennsylvania
About Family Dog Obedience
Our trainer, Val Klein, has been endorsed from the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors and is an evaluator for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test. Dog obedience classes are held at: 1698 North Main Street Ext, Butler, PA 16001. The 8,000 sq. ft. facility features dog-activity-friendly flooring and a wide selection of state-of-the-art dog training equipment. Our growth and success are based on referrals from past/present students, friends and family members of those students, and many local veterinarians’ offices, all of which we are extremely grateful for! Attending classes, and learning about dogs and dog behavior make our students “part of the family.”

I am now training my third dog with the help of FDO and I can’t say enough good things about what Val and the rest of the staff have taught us. We get compliments on our dogs behavior everywhere we take her and just this past weekend her recall reliability saved her from a very scary situation in our back yard with a coyote!
I continue to be very impressed with Val and the staff at FDO. My puppy has been attending classes for almost a year and we will continue. The facility is awesome and everyone is very helpful and encouraging. I can't say enough good things about Family Dog Obedience!
Loved the training my dog got at this place! People are very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable! Loved NoseWork classes as well!
Awesome classes!
