FirstBarkAshley does a great job with both the dogs and the owners. I am amazed at how my dog has learned with her and I have learned too! I am on my 4th class with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She has an amazing ability to balance training the dog with encouraging and teaching the humans at the same time!

Ashley is, by far, the best dog trainer I've worked with ... and there have been many. She is really focused on making the training experience and environment individual for your dog. By keeping her classes so small she allows for a stress free and distraction free environment. She is fun and incredibly knowledgeable in her profession. Over the years I've worked with at least 6 trainers and Ashley is the best. I am so glad I've found "You and Your Dog Training & Services". We will be continuing with Ashley for more classes.
Ashley is a real life dog whisperer! If you need training she will be your guide to a better relationship with your dog!
Great place to learn how to understand your puppy and to develop a positive relationship with her. Just finished puppy beginner and about to start puppy intermediate class!
We have learned so much about communication with our dogs! And it did love it too!
