FirstBarkDeborah is THE Dog Whisperer. Seriously... look at the pictures on her website. She can get our extremely hyper fur baby to sit still among other dogs, to take pictures. She can speak to our Piper once and she listens. Amazing training and person who cares about the dogs that come to her house. They are treated like family. Worth the cost, no matter what!❤️

Both my husband and I are very impressed with Deb and her style of training. She has an innate ability to sense exactly what our dog - and we - need. Her approach is simple and non- threatening. This has made the entire puppy training easier for me.

Shug is a 7 month old High energy sheep-a-doodle that we took to lead me this week. We are more than amazed at how well she responded to learning calm, obedient, and getting our approval. We could not be more pleased. The only problem is we didn’t start younger. It’s a process and we are committed to taking the principles we learned and putting them into practice every day!!! Here’s to a happy dog, wife and life!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
Lead Me training services have been life changing for our 5 month old Australian Labradoodle. Deborah has a gift with dogs we are thankful she could share with us .
Within just a few days she got our wild 6 month old puppy to learn to wait. She also taught him to follow her versus us following the dog. She’s very good! Highly recommended.
