FirstBarkGreat folks and very knowledgeable. I observed an obedience class first and was treated very well with all my questions answered. My first class was a protection class and included obedience work, it was wonderful and my Mal leaned up on Chuck when they first met like they were old friends which is very unusual. I knew we were in the right place.

Have been attending this trainer for 1.5years. Highly recommend. Trainers have exceptional K9 behavior insights. Amazing pricing for all the services. Owner is a retired Police K9 handler & trainer. Service area (6 acres) has a variety of training tools that helped my dog tremendously in normal day to day interactions. I showed up with an open mind, willing to receive feedback and ended up learning so much more than I thought possible.
