FirstBarkAndria gave extra time and attention to my unsocialized pup who was over excited at meeting other dogs for the first time. She addressed her distraction issues and set more gradual goals for her so she was able to succeed at puppy class.

You know his struggles since puppy kindergarten. The nausea,drooling, vomiting on himself. Laying on his back so we couldn’t get him in the car. The shaking when he was near the car and running down the driveway when he knew we were going for a ride. Fast forward to today and he can go for over an hr ride. He gets treats when he lays down and he alternates with looking out the window! Im so thrilled with his progress! I’m so proud of him and I wanted to show you his success! As you are always such a big part of it!! ❤️ Kelly

Andria is an amazing teacher and made adjusting to being puppy parents for the first time, less chaotic for our family. Beginning classes at 3 months old, our puppy completed the puppy class, advanced beginner obedience, and Canine Good Citizen Prep class. Andria is very knowledgeable within her work and the training environments provided were always clean. We felt comfortable with her fear free training and asking questions or for advice at any time. We appreciated that class sizes are small giving Andria the opportunity to work with each puppy family individually.
Andria is absolutely amazing. An amazing person and an amazing trainer. I had previously had negative training experiences and Andria showed me what it truly should be like! Enjoyable and educational; a constructive bonding experience for you and your precious dog! Do not hesitate to sign up for classes with Unmistaken Stars- you won’t regret it!
I have taken many classes with Andria in the last year with both of my young dogs. All great experiences and me & my dogs learn a lot. Definitely will be back!
