FirstBarkVictoria is a fantastic trainer! I was so excited to find a trainer that focuses on positive reinforcement. She has made great strides with my dog and it is amazing to the see the change. I really appreciate that she takes the time to explain the training methodology and transfer the training knowledge to me. I highly recommend her and her team!

We sent our lab pup to board and train with Victoria for about three weeks - and wow! We are so impressed with how much our young pup learned. Victoria is the best, always kept us updated and sent great photos, and gave us the resources and tools to succeed once we brought our pup back home. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend!

We started training our Doberman with Victoria through her well developed program and she turned our dog around from being a puppy who was not following any of our commands to such an obedient dog. Victoria uses positive reinforcement in her training and part of her success has to do with her ability to train the owners on their responsibilities and relationships with their dogs as well. Thanks to Victoria, our dog is now much more sociable and is even great around children and other dogs. He has learned several commands and with Victoria’s persistent training we have had such good results that we have signed up for additional training to take advantage her training skills since our dog loves Victoria, and is always happy to work with her and learn more. We highly recommend Victoria and appreciate her dedication to training dogs and her love for animals.
We are so happy with Hunter Mill Retrievers and the training we are getting from Victoria (training is not only for our beagle rescue but for us too). We love that we can take advantage of in home training and positive behavior reinforcement is key. Thank you Hunter Mill Retrievers for giving us the tools we need to have a happy and confident pup!

We cannot say enough about Victoria and her dog training skills. Our golden doodle puppy grew so fast in her first three months that we were panicked when she jumped on the three-year old, stole food right off the table, ran out of the yard, etc. We were impressed with Victoria’s initial assessment & engaged her for a 10-lesson period. We are more than halfway through our engagement and we have seen our puppy evolving into a well-behaved, responsive dog. Victoria has given us practical solutions, a circuit plan for weekly practice & corrects OUR behaviors as we raise this sweet member of our family. By the way, her initial assessment is free. You can’t go wrong, right?
