FirstBarkMs. Casey and her team are amazing! Every time we take our Boxer puppy out we get complimented on how calm and well behaved he is. The program has been amazing for his skills, confidence, and behavior. We are first time dog owners and it has made it so much easier! It’s also very fairly priced. Could not recommend more.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I have a one year old bull dog puppy I got her for Xmas n I got papers for her to be my service dog for a short time I need her taken care of until the building manager says I can have her in my building
I don't think that is what they do here, mainly training not boarding.

Do they sell puppies
No. They conduct classes and help train young dogs.

Our puppy loves the social meet ups and the calm focus class has been super helpful
Class is always educational and extremely helpful in evoking the behaviors our pup wants to do!

Wonder puppy has helped our super shy and scared puppy to really blossom and be confident. We’ve done their social classes, calm focus 1, skills 1 and calm focus 2. I have seen their methods consider the well being of the whole puppy, things that we may not know or think of. Instructor Sam is our puppy Sundari’s most favorite person beyond our family! Casey, the owner is incredibly perceptive and can really go above and beyond to help with your training goals. Even their free training and guiding resources on website are of incredible value. This is our puppy’s #1 favorite place in all of Portland :) I highly recommend!
accidently paid twice & they will not give me a refund
