FirstBarkKeri was very quick to respond to my email and flexible with time and date I’m glad to have met her and her family. We have seen immediate results after the first session with her. This is my first time working with professional trainer and I was fortunate to find her. Thank you for educating me and sharing your tips and tricks and all your follow up texts.

I'm looking for a trainer who could come to my house (Arlington) and train my standard poodle. Do you do this kind of service? Saba is housebroken, but she is terrible to walk (pull, pull,pull)
Happy to help! Please send a request through our website😊

Our golden retriever puppy started out in Keri’s group puppy class at 10 weeks old. He mastered basic commands sit, stay, and off. Keri and her team were fantastic! We then moved on to Doggie Day School at 6 ½ months old. Mark whom works for Keri was awesome with Max. We highly recommend Keri and her team for any household looking to have a well behaved furry for legged member!
Keri worked with our 1.5 year old German Shepherd, Archer, and was so great! Archer was very leash reactive in our neighborhood and wasn't great with off leash recall. Keri worked with him and gave us the tools we need to have a happy, healthy, and well behaved pup. It was so convenient to have her pick him up and the team was very flexible to work with our schedule as well.

We are only halfway through the 8 day program with Keri and already have a completely different dog from when we started! We were desperately in need of help for our highly energetic and exuberant 8 month old chocolate lab, Tucker. We had issues with how he interacted with his older sister, 5 year old Holly, as well as basic manners. My life before Keri came along was chaos...walks were a disaster as I struggled to control 2 very strong dogs. I spent my days trying to tire Tucker out but no exercise was ever enough. It was really wearing me down and I got to the point of not enjoying my dogs. Literally, 2 lessons in and things started to turn around. The dogs both absolutely adore Keri and she has such a great manner with them. The Ecollar for Tucker has been a Godsend, and we have now decided to introduce Holly to it as well for some barking and other issues. I am using the prong collars for both dogs on walks and it has changed everything!!! Our walks are now pleasurable and stress free! I never thought walking 2 70-80 pound dogs could be so easy!! I am so excited to see the continued progress both dogs make as we complete the program and can’t recommend Keri and Unleashed Abilities highly enough!!! Thank you Keri!
Keri is really knowledgeable and explains things really well. My dog is leash reactive, so we worked a lot on basic leash skills (heeling and loose leash walking) and on attention. My dog is so much better, she is a pleasure to walk.
