FirstBarkHoundstooth was available to us when we thought we wouldn’t be able to find anyone. Our German Shepherd Odin has always been reactive but they handled him very well and now for his 8 weeks of training and now we have people that we trust that can take care of him while we’re away! My husband and I are so grateful for them!

Nash and Charli had the most incredible transformation!!! I truly could not believe how well behaved they became after training. Thank you guys so much!!
Our dogs have been transformed. The results were amazing. The dogs are well behaved and happier. Thank you!!
Houndstooth did an amazing job training my Springer Spaniel (Clover) and she loves to go back to them for boarding. Clover had a specific problem with resource guarding and they solved it for us. I would recommend them to anyone looking for serious dog training.
I always leave my dog here for boarding whenever I am away and they take the best care of him!!! He always comes back so healthy and so happy!
