FirstBarkPam is an expert in her field. She’s professional and patient. She strives to understand the needs of the human and the pet. She is flexible to work in real life environments. I will definitely be using her again as we progress through the stages of puppy to adolescence to adult.

Pamela goes above and beyond. She worked with both my labs and my foster dog Rocky. Rocky, part lab and pit, WAS super reactive and isn’t anymore thanks to her incredible patience and ability to work with him until he finally got it. Now the mail truck goes by and Rocky doesn’t react! I can now let him be on the back porch to watchwhat’s happening in the neighborhood and his ears are perked but he doesn’t bark. It’s a true miracle. He’ll now come when I call him from the backyard and he wouldn’t do that before. He’s ready to be adopted now with his great manners, I just need to find the perfect home. I’m so grateful to Pamela. Her ability to understand and interpret Rocky was spot on. I now recommend training to everyone I come in contact with even if your dog is well behaved, Pamela can teach you more.
Pam was great. In 1.5 hours she was able to bond with both of our dogs and taught us many things to work on with our 9 month old German Shepherd.
Great experience! Pam was so great with Coco he learned a lot in a short amount of time. All the knowledge and experience was greatly appreciated.
Pam was exceptional in her approach and expertise. Her insights into training techniques were spot-on, and she displayed a deep understanding of my frenchie, Obi, unique needs. Thanks to her guidance and support, Obi is on the right path , and I am grateful for Pam's invaluable help in shaping a well-behaved and happy pup.
