FirstBarkMontana came to our house to help us with our 2 cairn terriers. They are in need of social graces. My husband is 78 with some physical challenges. Montana was able to alter her exercises to accommodate him. We saw a change after the first lesson. Montana knows her stuff and very pleasantly shares it with her clients

We had Montana out for a private lesson to observe the interaction between our new dog and our 12 year old dog as well as help us start to work on biting (mouthing). She was knowledgeable, patient, and most importantly honest with us about our options. You can tell that she cares about the pups and about our quality of life as well. We would recommend her to anyone!
Montana is a very knowledgeable, patient and kind dog trainer. We had competed her dog training school as well as had her do private lessons for us. I would strongly recommend her for any dog owner.
Montana was very nice, calm, and positive with our pittie mix we had just adopted. He is very smart, almost to smart for his own good, and she was able to give us good tips, tricks, and commands to let him know who the alpha is with gentleness.
The trainer was excellent. She was calm and knew what she was doing and showed me how to train an anxious dog who had not trusted anyone but me. She was excellent and I highly recommend her.
