FirstBarkDeborah is very professional. We have been taking our senior dog to her for a year now. He's been boarded there many times. He loves seeing her and getting to run with her dogs. She is the only person he has allowed to groom him. He really trusts her. She has a special gift with dogs.

I've known and worked with Deb for about 5 years and she's a super service dog and companion trainer. Highly recommend her!
If I can give her higher than a 5 star, I would. She helped train my service dog and took care of him when I left for a week vacation. She is an amazing person and treats your animal like her own. I would never hesitate in contacting her to watch any of my animals. She’s passionate about training and caring for animals.

I have known Deborah for about 4 years. I have visited and played with two liters of her pups. The quality of her pups is so far above the average. I have seen Poodle pups with eyes too far apart and other flaws, but I have not seen this in Deborah's puppies. In her training classes she starts with the basics and goes forward. She takes her classes to grocery stores, Fire Stations, etc. and what you get is a well trained, socialized companion. Deborah health tests her pups and she is a breeder with integrity. I recently rescued an adult standard poodle with no training and am planning to be in her next class this fall.
