FirstBarkInga is a wonderful trainer. My dog Patch has a problem lunging and biting strangers. Inga worked with me on reading his body language, so l can tell when Patch is going to lunge, and she taught me how to control his behavior. Thank you Inga for making it possible for me to keep my little cattle/hound rescue, Patch.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
What’s the best age to start puppy training?
The ideal time to begin puppy training is between 8 to 16 weeks of age, when their brain is most receptive. Early training builds foundational habits like crate training, housebreaking, and socialization that last a lifetime. The earlier you start, the fewer behavior problems down the road.

Lisa S. Has been a wonderful guide as we grow with Angus through his adventurous puppy stage. She is a fabulous listener to both humans and dogs, responding with gentle guidance, demonstrations, and affirmations. I highly recommend working Lisa at Hippie Dog for any help understanding a beloved dog.
I had an amazing experience with Inga. She really helped me help my dog become an ever better good boy. A dog I am proud to own and call mine. His issues were being reactive and not in an aggressive way. She was able to teach me the skills I needed to have my dog trust me and be good around other dogs while on a leash. We continue to work everyday on our skills and have Inga to thank for that.
Very in tune with her clients needs and wants and are able to provide in a fun and interactive learning experience!

I really felt Shed training classes with Inga, and her staff was exactly what I was hoping for going into it. I felt the field exercises as opposed to being in a building really helped me understand how to encourage and handle my dog while looking for deer antlers. It has going from my dog randomly finding one last summer to a activity both me and my dog can enjoy. Thank you for the experience and expertise offered.
