FirstBarkAna is a awesome trainer. She trains the people to work with the dogs. I’ve learned so much from her with respect to animal behavior and how to work with my dog. They also provide boarding services which I’ve used numerous times. My dog comes home happy after every stay with Ana and Travis. He is not stressed.

We prepare Gracie's Freezies with an all-organic filling and freeze them, so you don’t have to! Once your dog has enjoyed all of your Gracie’s Freezies, toss them back in the portable insulated bag provided. We will pick up the used toys and replace them with a fresh batch of Gracie’s Freezies!

Where are you located now?
Hi Katie, We are still in Lakewood. We closed our training center in December. If you are looking for classes or daycare, Noble Beast is there now. They're great. I still see people privately and I'm happy to discuss your needs at 303-238-DOGS(3647).

What age can dog live
Hi Manickam, That's a good question for Google! I have had dogs live longer than 17 years. I know many others have had dogs live to 18 and 20 years. I have found that with love, training, a fantastic diet and good exercise, a dog can have a long happy life. Thanks for the question. Happy training!

SO extremely unhappy with this company. Engaged them to assist me with a dog that was being aggressive. Suddenly it was recommended that I rehome the dog and when I refused, they stopped contacting me and did not return my messages. A few months later, I received an email stating that if I didn't contact them, I would forfeit the rest of my package and that they had tried numerous times to reach me, which was a complete lie. I ended up losing around $1000 because of their shady business practices - I say around because I was never told what my balance was, even though I asked several times. I would NEVER use this unethical company again. And I'm happy to say my new trainer is wonderful and we've made HUGE strides in correcting the issues. Glad I didn't listen to this horrible company. Do yourself a favor and run!

Our exhausting search for a dog trainer/behaviorist finally came to an end when we met Ana, Travis and the rest of team at Grace Dog Training. Our relationship began with a two week board and train. That experience was so positive that we enlisted Ana for in-home private training to reinforce the progress we were seeing in our puppy and to ensure we were doing things correctly as puppy parents. While we still have private training every now and then, we are regular participants in the Grace Dog Training daycare program. The trainer to dog ratio is very low and our pup comes home happy every time he attends daycare. I have and will continue to recommend Grace Dog Training to my family and friends.

I take my dog Oliver to Grace Dog Training and Behavior for doggie daycare a few days a week. He absolutely loves it there! The staff at Grace are amazing and have a true love for dogs. They treat him so well and he cannot wait to go in to the facility to play with everyone. He has also done some training while he is there and in just one short month has learned so much. I would highly recommend taking your dog here as you will know he/she is well taken care of and you won't have to worry about your furry four legged family member! Attached are a couple of pictures of him having fun.
