FirstBarkDogs by Andy trained our dog and it was the best money we’ve spent on our dog! The entire staff is so friendly and truly loves all dogs. We still run through the commands he learned and he is very responsive. One of our neighbors also used Dogs by Andy and he also is equally well behaved. Picture of the two of them not moving even though another dog across the street.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do the trainers at your facility use e-collars on the dogs?
Yes they use e-collars. It comes at week 5 of the 10 week off leash program. They take the time to thoroughly explain and show you what is going on with the collars. It is not in any way inhumane!! This was by far the best investment that we made in our dog....so much so that when we got our second puppy, I am currently going through the 10 week off leash program with him as well!!! To me, there is no higher praise that I can give someone other than repeat business!

Yes they use e-collars. It depends on the season that the dog is currently in as to if they are in the e-collar stage. We just completed our 10 week session and we could not be happier.

When I was there I did not see any of the dogs with e-callers

We got a German Shepherd from Larry Phan. Chili took your course on 06/ 2016. We didn't we receive much paper work. Can he be re-enrolled with your school and do you have any paperwork showing he is a pure bred? Maureen
You will definitely need to talk to Andy about that

We love Dogs by Andy! Our Golden Doodle had a wonderful training experience and she is always happy to go back for boarding. It makes us feel at ease when we go away to know that she is so well cared for. The whole staff is fantastic.
We brought your service a mixed breed puppy that was uncontrollable and now 8 lessons later we can take her anywhere and she enjoys behaving when we take her out in public. Amazing!
They did an amazing job with my German shepherd ace. It wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it. He's a very well behaved dog and I'm very proud of his restraint and manners.
I absolutely love dog’s by Andy! They did amazing with my Doberman Nala! I always recommend them!
