FirstBarkSam is fantastic!! Felt so relieved to have her as an option for my dog to stay with during Mardi Gras this year. She cares for your pet so well and sends the perfect amount of updates. Highly recommend her for both boarding and the day training programs!

Anyone that knows me and my wife, knows that our pups are our babies so the following recommendation does not come lightly. When we first adopted our sweet Oliver, we were looking for a trainer when I stumbled across a company that provided a board and train program. Having never boarded any of our dogs in the past I was apprehensive about Oliver being away, but knew that it was probably necessary considering the results we were looking for. Any concerns quickly resolved whenever Samantha came to our home, a couple of weeks prior to Ollie’s departure, to meet us and him. She sat down with us and thoroughly explained the entire training process, reassured us that she would send us daily updates, and encouraged us to reach out with any concerns. Oliver instantly adored her, and still remains her biggest fan! Since then, Ollie boards with Samantha every time we go out of town on vacation. It is so great having complete peace of mind that Oliver is happy and well cared for while we are out of town! Since adopting a second pup, Robert, we have not done the best reinforcing Ollie’s training so we reached out to Sam a couple of weeks ago to come give him an in-home refresher. We were amazed to see he actually remembers everything that she taught him almost 2 years ago! She also met Robert for the first time and we were excited to see how quickly he responded to his first training of any kind! Sam is calm and patient, but still instantly gains the respect and attention of our pups! we absolutely love Samantha and know that you will too. So… If you are looking for any pup services including individual training sessions, boarding, or a board and train program we highly recommend Samantha!
I have worked with Samantha on training for 3 of our dogs and boarding whenever we are out of town. I truly cannot say how INCREDIBLE she really is. She is someone that loves my babies as much as I do and it shows when our babies are so happy and excited to see her. We trust her completely and recommend her to everyone that we know.
Excellent experience, My dog loves going there.
Samantha walks my dog and is fantastic with him. You can tell she really loves animals. Highly recommend.
