FirstBarkDr. Gail leads a very professional & effective dog training program. Our 18 month old lab was horrible to walk with a leash prior to this class. Using the techniques we learned, our dog had improved so much!!

Dr. Gail Clark has been such a huge resource for me as I work with my now 6 mth old Boxer. Mia was extremely shy and nervous. Gail has helped me understand my best way to support Mia and help her develop appropriate responses and confidence so Mia can be her best self. I am done with the beginner classes and with the guidance and instruction of Gail and her staff we are ready to move into the advanced classes. Finding Gail was one of the best things that happened to Mia and I.
Dr. Gail Clark is an awesome trainer. I've known her for many years and she's always willing to help me with any issue I may have with any dog. In the past she had helped me put a UD on a dog and recently she has helped with a new pup that had some high drive issues. I highly recommend her!

We adopted a three year old very leash reactive dog and we found a trainer in the Fort Collins area but saw no progress. Until we went to private lessons with Gail. In just two classes our dog was behaving better than ever, because Gail took the time to teach US how to train properly. We’ve since signed up for her group classes and highly recommend anyone to take her group classes or her private lessons. They are worth so much more than she charges, you won’t regret it.
Dr. Clark is so good at training humans to train their dogs! We've all learned to much over the years from her. She is so good at explaining why we do the things we do and why the dogs respond the way they do.
