FirstBarkDonna was a fantastic trainer, she was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us. Donna helped us through behavior issues with our dog and we were given easy to follow, manageable exercises to work on. She truly cares about animals and teaching owners how to understand their dog’s behavior.

Donna set us on the right path with her puppy class. She gave us the best advice on how to train our puppy based on her temperament and it was opposite of what the other trainers were telling us. She was so right! We learned how to best deal with our puppy and continue to practice with her every day.

Donna is an amazing dog trainer and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with her! I contacted Donna out of desperation, the relationship between my 1 1/2 year old dog and I had deteriorated to a point where I was dreading time spent at home. Donna came to my house and we discussed the issues as my dog spent 15 minutes barking at us to the point I was in tears. Donna helped me to understand why my dog was not acting in a manner I wanted and how to reshape his behaviors. She identified the issues and helped us both gain confidence, skills and most importantly a harmonious household. I was shocked when Donna asked me to join her Canine Good Citizen class and immediately set a goal for my dog to become a "Mediocre Citizen" and just make it through the 6 classes, not expecting to ever be able to get him to perform the test without food motivation. Amazingly, with Donna's calm demeanor, and helpful encouragement, my dog was able to become a Canine Good Citizen! He has surpassed my expectations and I attribute all of his accomplishments to his amazing trainer! Thank you with all of my heart!
Donna and Emily were amazing. I had an out of control Goldendoodle and was at wits end. After 3-4 sessions with them he is a different dog! They calmly and lovingly taught me how to achieve the results I wanted and the process became fun and rewarding for both Rufus and I! He gets many compliments on his behavior. I have recommended TLC to numerous people.
Donna provided my wife and I with proper tools and techniques to take desired behavioral steps in the right direction with our two crazy Catahoula Leopard Dogs. She trained us, so we can train them! We are very grateful for our experiences with her.
