FirstBarkRoo has been great! We have had a 1:1 session with her, and our pup just got back from a puppy play date and had a blast! Both the pup and parents learned a ton in the private lesson, and look forward to progressing through more classes! Won’t take our pup anywhere else!

The Puppy School has been a wonderful place to bring my puppy to learn. Roo is very knowledgeable and kind. I couldn’t recommend the Puppy School more!
My Golden Retriever puppy, Bella, and I both learned so much from Roo’s classes. She comes when I call her so much better now! And being a puppy, Bella loved interacting with all of the other puppies! We have a lot to continue to work on, but Roo’s classes set us on the right path for Bella’s future as hopefully a therapy dog! Thank you, Roo!
I was at my wits end with my 11 week old land shark/German shepherd puppy when I contacted Roo. After just one private session that helped to address the biting and some puppy play time after our first kindergarten class I had a changed pup! I know I have a lot of work ahead to continue with his training and socialization but now I can proceed with calm and happiness in our household. Thanks Roo!
I highly recommend working with Roo to help you understand how to train your pup! She has done an excellent job coaching me to know how to work best with my puppy. Her lessons and knowledge have been valuable and empowering! She has helped me build a strong, positive foundation and relationship with my puppy. I will continue to work with her, and my puppy just loves her classes!
