FirstBarkTheresa is absolutely amazing! She offers small class sizes so you get the individual attention needed. We saw a night and day difference with our puppy. She is worth every cent!

We highly recommend Theresa. She identified the needs of our dog and provided us with the tools and skills needed. She took time training our dog and took time educating us, which has significantly impacted the entire family. Without a doubt, the best dog trainer ever!!

Our min-pin rescue had issues with obedience and anxiety. We saw the problems but didn’t know how to fix it. We called Theresa with VIPet Services. She came to our house once a week and showed us how to fix these issues. Between her visits we worked with our dog. After 5 weeks our min-pin is now a lot more confident and she actually listens! After being shown how to train her we will continue in that same fashion. Our dog has improved so much and she actually likes training. It’s fun for all of us and she is improving every day. Thank you again Theresa! We will highly recommend you to everyone.
Theresa is awesome with animals and people as well. She gets results as long as you listen. She is very patient and provides great follow thru support.

Clyde has taken two of Theresa’s puppy courses, and the results were amazing! He’s an 8 month old GSD with a very high drive. The information she shares and ways to implement the training my dog needs have been so worth it. The changes, from when he began his first class at 8 weeks and ended his second near 8 months, have been phenomenol. He went from being unmanageable in a public setting to now being able to go to Lowe’s. He’s now a pleasure to walk on leash. What a difference! Theresa is always easily accessible to willing to help answer any questions I have.
