FirstBarkShe is all about the money. Would never recommend her to anyone. Ripped me off $500 for training I wanted and would not do because I didn’t want to board my dog.

My 4 year old rescue poodle Luna Belle was experiencing major anxiety and was quite stressed. I thought she was just excited. 🤷♀️ Stephanie assessed her immediately and taught me how to read Luna’s body language and she gave me steps to keep her from jumping on me and nipping when I return home and walk in the door. It worked brilliantly! She now sits on command with a calm energy. No more jumping and anxiety. Stephanie then taught me how to walk her on a leash properly without Luna pulling like a sled dog and very high anxiety around people. She walks next to me now not in front of me, turns corners, sits on command during walks and before crossing the road. Luna has found a new calm and confidence. Stephanie is brilliant in her training and knowledge of animals and their behaviors. I would recommend Stephanie highly for anyone who is looking for guidance with their best friend. The Dog Training Spot is the best dog training that I have found by far with quick and effective results. Thank you Stephanie! 💗🐩
We were desperate because we couldn’t figure out how to potty train and addressed some of our 8 months bully behavior and Stephanie was our last chance. Within the 1st week we saw amazing results. We highly recommend her. Thank you Stephanie, I feel more comfortable dealing with both of our bullies.
Steph was so professional and knowledgeable in training our Josie. We are so very grateful and thankful for her service. Highly recommend.
Our dogs love going to the Dog training spot! We love having this place so close to home. Stephanie is the best! She cares for our pups and takes such great care of them. We use the daycare and boarding. When we are away from home we don’t have to worry about our “babies” we know they are being taken care of. Our dogs can’t wait to go back it’s probably their favorite place!
