FirstBarkThey have classes for everything you could want! I started with Wendy and her team with puppy classes, then obedience, confidence building, cognitive training, puppy agility, and now agility. I really enjoy the instructions and feel very supported.

I’ve had a blast prepping for an upcoming obedience competition with MCA. There aren’t many places that have options for continuing training and guidance on sports, so it’s nice that I can schedule when needed for what I’m currently working towards. We’ve also been sharpening our scent work skills here in the evenings as well. I highly recommend checking out Maryland Canine Academy for training tailored to your needs.

We've been working with trainers Wendy, Kirsten, Shana, Vicki, and Grace since 2021! Our two dogs, a little 20 pound Miniature Pinscher/Cattle Dog mix who was a rescue at 10 wks old from Kentucky, and our 6 yr. old Golden Retriever, both love all of the trainers! They go out of their way to help you with your dog. They are also very flexible with any of your needs. With their help, both of our dogs have earned several titles from the AKC!
