FirstBarkAlways helpful whenever there were questions. All trainings were good and helped my 2 Year old German Shepard to handle every situation a lot better and for myself also to read body language from my dog. Gives the owner a new understanding of how a dog see’s the world. Helped my dog learn all types of tricks.

We worked with Holly with in home private lessons for our boston terrier/pug mix puppy. All training was done in a positive, and easy to follow style for both people and puppy :). It was an enjoyable, successful experience. Holly is a pleasure to work with, and it has been great to have her support throughout and into the future.
Holly is an excellent trainer. I chose the In-Home Private Lessons. Even though I was familar with positive training techniques before hiring her. it was helpful to have those techniques reinforced and having the in-home private lessons helped accerated my dogs training. I highly recommend her!
CPR for dogs ! ❤ 🐕 Just took Cpr & first aid training for dogs with Holly. The class was so informative and I learned so much like what to do if my dog is choking , bleeding or stops breathing. I highly recommend this class !
I had purchased an e-collar prior to meeting Holly, thinking it was the only option to train my dog. She informed us, on the first day, that she does not encourage owners to use these collars, and she had my attention. I was pleasantly surprised to see Holly’s gentle training methods working like a charm with my dog. Holly is very knowledgeable and worth every penny! P.s. my pup loves her 🥰.
