FirstBarkPence K9 went above and beyond all of my expectations. Jason communicated well and helped me throughout the entire process. I knew that my beautiful puppy was in the best hands possible and that the training she received would completely change the way we operate together. I cannot recommend Pence K9 enough!!

I would highly recommend PenceK9. We have a German Shepard and she came back such a better dog. The thing I loved was it didn’t kill her spirit, which I’ve heard a few people say it could. She is still happy just listens better and understands what is expected of her. She also doesn’t attack my cat anymore. Lol!!

When we made the decision to add a larger dog to our family, we made the commitment to get top notch training when she was old enough. We took our Labrador Retriever puppy to Jason at PenceK9 because of Jason’s professional reputation in the dog training community. The results did not disappoint. We chose the 3 week off leash retreat because we wanted to have the added security of recall and off leash commands in case our pup got loose. We also wanted our 11 year old daughter to be able to safely walk our dog and the training that was received at PenceK9 does just that. We wanted to understand our pup better and also curb bad habits like jumping, counter surfing and pulling on walks. In just 3 weeks, Jason was able to teach our 8 month old lab and subsequently teach us. We are looking forward to a wonderful relationship with our well mannered pup! We know it’s our responsibility as pet owners to keep up with the training that Jason instilled and are committed to continuing the routines he put in place. We would highly recommend PenceK9 to anyone who is looking for solid training!
Highly recommend Pence K9. Jason took amazing care of our 9 month old boxer. The transformation after 2 weeks was unbelievable. During the two week retreat we were updated regularly with pictures and videos. He worked out of his home and it was very nicely set up and clean. He gave us all the tools needed to continue training at home. You will not be disappointed with the results.
After 6 days of having Logan home, he has done incredibly well. It is such a relief that we don't have to chase him to take him outside or worry that if he gets loose he won't run into the street.

After 6 days of having Logan home, he has done incredibly well. It is such a relief that we don't have to chase him to take him outside or worry that if he gets loose he won't run into the street. Jason has brought peace to our home and eventually our 2 cats will realize that they can rejoin us in the living room without him chasing them. We know that there is still some training ahead, but it's more us than him. Thank you again Jason.
