FirstBarkAndrea is bilingual - she speaks dog! She taught me how to effectively communicate with and understand my puppy. Andrea helped me form a strong relationship with my puppy and set me up for success. I look forward to working with her on advanced training in the future.

About Andrea’s K9 Coaching
Our mission is to improve relationships between owners and their K9 companions. Too often owners focus on love and affection with their dog while neglecting structure and mental stimulation. Just like children, if dogs aren’t offered an appropriate instruction manual for how to live in our domestic life, they’ll make poor decisions. We educate you on the things you’re accidentally teaching your dog while helping your dog learn boundaries and limitations. Setting clear expectations and then holding your dog accountable to achieve those expectations, makes owners better leaders in all aspects of their life.

She trained our one year old Rescue Dog Lucy, who did not get any training from her prior owner. Andrea took Lucy for two weeks, we had already attempted training in a Petsmart’s class, but she was so distract and disruptive in group class we ended up with one on one training, which didn’t help much. When Andrea brought her back she was a different dog, she listened to commands, was friendly to other dogs and can walk on a leash. We had such a good result with her training, we had Andrea board Lucy when we went n vacation. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with their dog.
She rally took the time to help not only with the pup but more importantly with the other older dog. The pup took to the training vary fast because of the guidance. As for the older dog well she is much better but still a long way to go. If not for Andrea’s guidance none of this would have been possible.

Andrea is incredible! We met her when Coco was almost 2, and worked with her for two separate training packages. Knowing what we know now, I only wish we had met her sooner. Andrea immediately connected with my family (and Coco!) and began right away by incorporating structure and consistency. Coco is a reactive and high energy Bernedoodle, and we struggled with everything from walks to having guests at the house. Jumping, pulling, excessive barking, you name it, Coco was doing it. Andrea taught us how to establish boundaries, communicate consistently, and set us up with the foundation for training that we are still using with Coco today. Andrea did not only help train Coco, she helped train us! And for that we are extremely grateful.
I had an amazing experience from the first time I met Andrea! She is so knowledgeable about so many different situations that occur. She listens with empathy. She understands our frustrations! She’s the BEST! Hands down! Thank you Andrea!!
