FirstBarkRobyn provided valuable knowledge and resources. Since her first visit our home has a calmer vibe. I picked her service over others because of her philosophy on training, reading the great reviews online and from our initial conversation over the phone. Here is our dog enjoying his new lick mat recipe and treat dispenser toy to help calm himself.

Robyn is wonderful. She was able to gain the trust of my reactive German Shepherd and gave me a wealth of information and direction
Robyn was amazing and I loved her calm, behavioral approach. Her guidance and tips were spot on for my loveable rambunctious pup :)
Robyn is amazing at what she does. Gave me a whole new understanding of dogs.

Our puppy Wrigley is 8 weeks old. It's been years since my husband & I have had a puppy & we wanted to get off on the right foot from the start. Robyn came to our home to train all three of us how to nurture a healthy, happy puppy/family dynamic. No harsh discipline, rather communicating and encouraging. Wrigley's on a schedule of playing, eating, pottying, & napping that's working for all of us. She's engaged and happy without being hyper or attention needy. I'm calling Robyn our "dog whisperer," & I can't recommend her highly enough!
