FirstBarkMontana was very thorough and patient with my dog Wilson. She addressed all the problems i told her about, showed me how to tackle these issues, practiced with Wilson and myself. Also sent me articles pertaining to my dog’s issues. Definitely knows her business!

Montana is awesome. She is knowledgeable and works well with the pet and the owner. We feel very comfortable working with her.
Montana provided a lot of useful information and tips. She not only went through the issues I was concerned about, she also talked about my dog's diet and provided a list of different foods to try. My 5mo old dog is doing so much better even after just 1 lesson, I feel like she's more focused and that harness and commands for walking on a leash have made a world of difference.
Montana was very patient with me and my dog. Murphy is pretty stubborn but Montana quickly had great ideas. I highly recommend her as a trainer and I will be using her again really soon as I’m trying to get Murphy certified as a Caine Good Citizen dog.
Very practical & immediately applicable information. I recommend both the private lessons as well as the class.
