FirstBarkGail helped me train my two year-old dog Birdie. She was able to address all of Birdie’s bad habits and reactions, including crying in her crate, jumping up on people, demand barking, and throwing tantrums at nail trims. I cannot recommend Gail‘s instruction more highly. I tell everyone who has adopted a new dog that they must go see her.

It was amazing! My Great Pyrenees became fearful and shaking. Gail had him obedient and calm within minutes. Simply said it was a miracle.
Gail has helped me not only deal with behavior modification, my dog did not want strangers touching her, but has also helped me return to both the obedience ring and the conformation ring with success. More importantly, with Gail's guidance, I have noticed my dog and I building a stronger bond. We both really enjoy working with Gail. I look forward to continuing training.
What a great e experience! Thank you Gail for teaching us how to correctly train our fur babies on how to be great members of our family. What a difference it had made. I wish I was able to give you 10 stars.
Dr. Gail Clark is hands down amazing. We did not even meet, just spoke on the phone, yet her advice has had a huge impact on my dog with food aggression. We are so appreciative for your time and words of wisdom and will be reaching out for any future needs with our dogs. Thank you!
