FirstBarkPiper has worked with my dachshund Willie and I for three home sessions. He has come a long way thanks to her observational skills and problem solving skills. I appreciate her handouts as a follow up from the lesson. Willie has become a more socialized dog and a "Happy Dog". Kim Lucas

One of the easiest 5-star reviews I've ever given! Deb was an incredible teacher throughout the duration of our class. As someone who has never trained a dog before, she made it easy, straightforward, and most importantly FUN every step of the way. The approach towards every dog was different and tailored for the specific dog/owner, and we made more progress during the course than I ever thought was possible coming in. I would recommend Happy Dogs Training to anyone with a dog - no matter their skill level :)

We started bringing our puppy to group classes (socialization and Star Puppy) soon after we got him. Piper and Deb have been wonderful! They understand and adapt to every puppy to make it a safe experience for them to be around other people and puppies along with a ton of new sights, sounds, and surfaces in the play yard. One example, our little guy did not like the cold, wet grass and refused to sit or down in class. Deb recognized this and brought out an elevated bed which worked really well.
We could not be more grateful for the impact Piper and her team have had on our pup! As a busy mom of 3 and new puppy parents we needed it all! Piper was always thorough, understanding of our needs and responsive. We survived pandemic puppyhood and now have a well trained, well adjusted HAPPY dog!
We love Happy Dogs Training and have seen great improvement in our reactive dog. They use positive training and make sure to train the people as well as the dogs. Classes are organized and feel relaxed so as no one is confused, rushed, or bunched in!
