FirstBarkCame here from another dog training place, and the difference is night and day. This place has fair prices, a great facility, and phenomenal instructors. Jill has taught us so much in a few classes. I’ve gotten so much better at communicating with my dog. There is homework and a followup email with helpful videos every week. Cannot recommend Jill and Pet Republic highly enough.

I took our pup Quinn (Portuguese Water Dog Poodle Mix) to both puppy classes and continued the first level of obedience training shortly after, which was discounted to increase enrollment. The classes were very logical and well explained. Quinn made very good progress and we have been able maintain most of it. She still responds well to clicker training and treats for learning new tricks, but is not at all dependent on the clicker.
The class included 4-5 other dogs getting trained. The instructor took lots of time to make sure everyone knew the skills and what changes were necessary to continue to work on them. The instructor was very knowledgable and made training very effective and fun.
