FirstBarkCandice was the best dog trainer I could’ve ever hoped for. We have a reactive pitbull so some people can be scared or judgmental of him but Candice was so great with him, made him super comfortable, and gave us some great tips for us to work on! Best experience i’ve had!

let me start this review off strong by just saying erin is AWESOME. shes trained 2 of my dogs now, one still being in class and it has been life changing. my first dog was a pandemic dog and he didnt know how to properly greet other dogs and so would come off aggressive but through time and erins guidance and help hes AMAZING. he walks wonderfully on leash and knows many commands. my other dog that is currently in her classes is also doing wonderfully, learning leash walking as well as socializing cause hes still a pup really. anyway, if you have a dog that needs training…GO TO ERIN!!!! not only will u thank yourself but your dog will thank you too!!!
I have personally watched and listened to her teach. I have never seen someone so positive towards not just the dog but the pet parents too! It's incredible to see the outcome and to see the pet parents so thrilled to see their companions completely different. Erin has a tremendous amount of experience along with passion which is a perfect combination for your pal!

These 2 puppies were terrible abuse/neglected cases with no confidence and hiding from everyone in class. Erin was thoughtful and patient with them and along with the help of the other people and dogs in the class, wow, what a change in the both of them! I actually had the one puppy in a class closer to my home, but found Erin’s classes so much better that we make the 45 min drive (one way) twice a week. Erin makes all the difference! Best dogs ever because of her!
My puppies and I have been in class with Erin now for a while. I have been so impressed with the way she goes above and beyond for the dogs & humans in her class!! She’s been a lifesaver for me as I navigate the ups and downs of puppyhood!
