FirstBarkHannah is such an amazing trainer!! We got our dog at 6mo old from the shelter and brought him to Hannah two weeks later. She turned him into a totally different dog. Now we can go on walks and take him out in public with no issues at all!! I can’t wait to bring him back to her so we can further his training in the future!

What is a Board & Train program?
A Board & Train program is an immersive, hands-on dog training experience where your dog stays with professional trainers for several weeks. At The K9 Blueprint, our programs focus on real-world behavior, obedience, and confidence-building. Dogs learn calm, respectful manners, off-leash reliability, and structure, while owners receive a comprehensive plan to maintain training at home. Board & Train is ideal for busy owners, puppies, or dogs with behavior challenges who need intensive guidance.

How do I stop my dog from barking excessively?
To stop excessive barking, start by identifying the cause, whether it's boredom, anxiety, or a response to external stimuli. Once you understand why your dog is barking, you can address the root cause. Here are some strategies: - Exercise and Mental Stimulation: Ensure your dog gets enough physical exercise and mental stimulation through play, training, and puzzle toys. - Training and Commands: Teach your dog the "quiet" command. When your dog starts barking, say "quiet" calmly and firmly. When they stop barking, reward them with a treat and praise. - Desensitization: Gradually expose your dog to the stimulus that causes them to bark, in a controlled manner, and reward them for staying calm. - Distraction and Redirection: Distract your dog with a toy or treat when they start barking and redirect their focus to something positive.

Every single day since I’ve had my boy back I say, “wow, this was WORTH IT!” Hannah did incredible work with my little Ollie. Before I decided to take Ollie to Hannah, I was struggling with pulling, barking and lunging on our walks. Hannah was able to manage all of that anxiousness and get it under control with just simple commands that change your life and your pets life. I can finally enjoy taking him on walks and working with him to get him mentally exhausted. All this training wasn’t the easiest to learn how to do all the commands but Hannah provided in person guidance for each step and it’s been extremely worth it, to put in the work at home. I cannot say enough amazing things about Hannah, she transformed my boy for the better ❤️.
