FirstBarkFantastic place to train your dog. My wife and I took our dog to the “Reactive and impulsive dog” class. The instructor teaches in a way that helped me understand the dog mind and how to influence a change in the dogs behavior in a positive way. Highly recommended.

My dog has been going to daycare for a few weeks now. I can barely contain her she gets so excited to play with her buddies and the best thing is she is exhausted when I pick her up. Update: It's been almost 2 years and I couldn't have picked a better place. They go above and beyond and its so clean. Not to mention the photo shoots and holiday art projects. It's truly beyond 5 stars.
Caring staff. My daughter has been taking her rescue dog, who has reactivity issues, for training, and he's doing amazing.

I highly recommend this facility and staff. Terri and her daycare staff have been taking care of my dog for over a year now. He was very shy and fearful at first, but they were extremely patient with him and he now really enjoys doggy day care and goes several days each week. We have also taken a couple private lessons, and several group classes, one with Terri and several with Jean. All the classes have been fun and worth while. The privates have been informative. Jean is phenomenal. She has taught us so much in her Calm Canine and basic obedience classes. Jean is especially skilled in training reactive dogs and their humans. We also had a positive experience boarding with Terri a few times. Shout out to Day Care staff- Taylor, Chloe, Melissa, Emma and Megan as well for all you continue to do for us!
We love this dog school! We have gone to puppy social hour, puppy kindergarten, beginning obedience, and now intermediate obedience. We have loved our time with Jean, and our Goldendoodle puppy has really come out of his shell, gained confidence, and learned so much! I love the use of positive reinforcement which is different than other schools we’ve looked into.
