FirstBarkE is the absolute best. As soon as we arrive at E's for agility our dog is energized, engaged, and full of joy. He loves the mental and physical challenge and I've loved witnessing his confidence grow with his lessons. E is an excellent instructor and provides so many great tips and games to help proof the skills. We've learned so much from E and couldn't recommend her enough.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
FAQ: My dog is fearful / nervous / anxious. Can they do agility?
Yes! Fearful dogs are some of my FAVORITES. Agility is a great way for fearful pups to build confidence -- as long as you're with an instructor who is patient and lets the dog explore at their own pace. I've owned two fearful dogs and fostered many others, so I am able to meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable finding their bravery.

FAQ: My dog is reactive, can they do agility?
Yes! Reactive dogs do very well in private lessons at my house. The yard is fully fenced and no dogs are visible while in the yard.

FAQ: Can my dog do agility?
Yes! Dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments can learn agility. While not every dog will be the next Westminster Agility champion, every dog can learn the sport and have fun playing it.

FAQ: How do I get started with agility?
I'd love to meet you and your pup for an agility lesson in my fenced yard in Burtonsville. You can choose your appointment time online by going here --> https://foleysdogtraining.as.me/new-agility-student The initial lesson is 45 minutes. If you'd like to continue, you can choose between 30-minute or 45-minute lessons. I also have the Drop-In Beginner Agility classes if you'd rather do a group class.

We love Foley's Dog Training! The instructors are very knowledgeable and make everything fun for dog and human. They also adapt to each team's abilities and interests, agility training has helped strengthen our bond with our doggie and given us aspirations to compete one day.

E is our favorite trainer we’ve worked with so far! If we hadn’t moved out of state, we sure as heck would still be training with Foley’s Dog Training. Zuko always had a blast and we learned so much during our lessons. We trained with E since he was a few months old, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Lessons were always light and fun, and we were able to grow our communication and bond through agility training.
Great for a beginner trying to engage dog with agility.
We are so lucky to have found E! She's a fantastic dog (and human) trainer, and her classes are awesome. She has so much patience and insight for us as beginners. It has been great to watch my dog "get it" and really start having fun. We're excited to learn more!
