FirstBarkDo not bring your dog there! Every time I take my dog for rehabilitation therapy, I hear people yelling and screaming at the dogs. They are so mean to them! It’s an awful experience. If you want your dog to be yelled at—and who knows what else happens in the back—then this is the place to take them. Absolutely awful!

I started taking my 6 year old GSP here. Gus unleashed a dog I didn’t know I had. Gus was great to work with and has made me love my boy even more. If you’re thinking about giving this a shot, just do it. You won’t regret it!
Great trainers who are very knowledgeable and great with my puppy. The FIDO fit program is an way to keep my high energy dog active while I'm at work. They also have a great shop with basic necessities as well as fun accessories and dog toys.
Absolutely recommend this place. The staff is amazing, the facility is comfortable, and Jenn went out of her way to help me with a senior dog I adopted. Rally Obedience classes with Lisa are fun and all my dogs have learned so much - I have even titled a dog in AKC events. They also have the cutest little shop that has nice merchandise.

Christina has been amazing with my reactive pup, Charlie. I thought at 5 years old he might be too old to learn, but it’s incredible to see him work with Christina. The slip lead is a GAME CHANGER. I’m now able to take him to trails and places with other pups and not worry. I keep asking him what he did with my other dog… he’s THAT transformed. I’m also humbled that the reality is, the training is for me. We’re both learning so much! I would give more stars if I could! Christina at Rocket Dog is worth every cent. ❤️🐕🦺❤️
