FirstBarkPam did a spectacular job training our 4-month-old puppy, and us! She modified her lessons to address our puppy's specific needs. We are so pleased with the results. Look forward to working with Pam again. Highly recommend.

Pam is the best! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dog training or general guidance with their pets. Super professional, easy to work with, and has a genuine love for dogs!
A kind and clear expert, Pam helped us navigate a challenging situation with our new puppy, and we are deeply grateful for her taking the time to meet us, gather a thorough understanding of our circumstances, and provide compassionate follow up. Thank you so much, Pam.

I did a twenty-minute consult with Pamela after my wacky cat attacked my two-year-old pup. They'd always gotten along, and the random aggression really scared my anxious dog. Pamela gave me great advice that put us on the right path after only a day—and a week later, things are back to normal here at home, with all four-legged family members coexisting peacefully once again. Can't thank you enough, Pamela, and I look forward to working with you again!
Pam was great in giving us training tips, and showing us how to implement them with both dogs in the household. Having her come to the home and seeing them in action is a definite must! Pam has given us great tools to help manage a very energetic 6 month old Shepard pup!
