FirstBarkRobyn was great. Very easy to communicate with. She gave us a lot of great information and skills to use with our two dogs. We plan to implement everything she suggested. She spent the afternoon with us and never made us feel rushed or that she was looking at the clock.

Wow!! Robin's calm & natural approach to training our 15 week old pup was helpful literally within minutes of her being in our home. She spent almost 4 hrs with us to make sure we had a very clear understanding of how to approach this journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and I couldn't recommend her more!!!

I was skeptical about dog trainers and thought we were beyond help with our latest adoption. Robyn completely changed my mind! She came for a three hour in-home visit and was extremely professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and worked wonders with BOTH of our dogs! I could tell she has a lot of experience. Robyn's compassionate approach to our dogs was just what we were hoping for. She treated both of them with respect and kindness instead of fear and intimidation. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. Thanks Robyn!
Loved Robyn. She helped me with my pup. I was so frustrated with the biting. Robyn was kind and patient with me and I am now excited to put all we learned into practice. Thanks Robyn!!

We had one session with Robyn and are amazed at the IMMEDIATE difference in both of our dogs. They are calmer and happier. Robyn gave us so many behavioral-based training ideas to put to use that are easy to implement. She very kindly and lovingly pointed out our behaviors as humans that we thought were helping our pups that were actually raising their anxiety. She took an over mile-long walk with us, training both us and our dogs the whole time. This was so worth our time and cost. She’s already followed up with links to everything she told us about and left written materials with us as well. Highly recommend and so glad we found her!
