FirstBarkDory is a wonderful trainer, no doubt about it. She has an real understanding of dogs behavior and is able to quickly correct the dog or instruct the owner on how to deal with their pets. We also appreciate that she really tells you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. Thank you Dory, we will be back in touch. Mark and Ruth Barnhardt, and K9 Koda

Yes Thank you!! None of the times you had listed will work for us this go-around. We need a Monday, Tues, or Sat class... if possible Saint needs 2 things (1)socialization with other dogs (excessive excitement and BARKING)He as almost melted down in vet waiting room. Puppy K with other dogs would be helpful. (2) General obedience is good, apart from pulling at walks. My hubby and I disagree. I feel he needs something like gentle leader.... as a harness is not enough Please keep me on you mailing list for upcoming classes.

My dog and I have completed our third class with Dory and I can’t be happier. If you are going to do any class I recommend puppy kindergarten the most! Puppy Kindergarten not only helped with the foundation of socializing my dog but it taught me so much about being a dog owner. Dory doesn’t just teach your dog, she teaches you! I’m a way better dog owner because of her. Dory also opens herself as an amazing resource, any question you have or in need of a recommendation she’s always a text away. Learn how to be a responsible dog owner and how teach your dog; train with Dory, you won’t regret it!
Had an amazing time taking my puppy to Dory’s puppy kindergarten class! She teaches fantastic techniques for helping your dog learn basic commands and provides a safe and fun atmosphere for the puppies to learn to play together. I would highly recommend this class to any puppy owners. I look forward to continue my dog’s training by going back for the next levels of classes.

Dory is an absolutely fantastic trainer. She has helped me and my rescue completely turn things around. From resource guarding to simple walk manners she has made a huge difference for us. When I first got my pup Nova she was 8 months old and only knew how to sit. Now she is in the advanced class and knows many different commands such as heel, stand, back up, stay, down, around, swing and many more. Dory also offers in home visits which helped us get a more detailed overview of steps we needed to take for my dogs training beyond just the class. We cannot recommend her enough and still train with her regularly almost a year later.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dory offers a comfortable environment for dog training at a fair price. She welcomes all ages and skills of puppies and handlers, as well as family members who want to learn. Dory is friendly and generous with compliments and respectfully corrects unwanted behavior. She always teaches the reasons behind undesired behavior and shares different methods to correct or improve it. Many of our classmates (along with us!) are signing up for additional classes as our puppy grows!
