FirstBarkPence K9 came highly recommended by friends and absolutely didn’t disappoint. I’m very pleased with the progress in my dog’s behavior and the exceptional level of attention and detail provided throughout the training. My dog is more focused, responsive, and well-mannered, and I feel more confident too. Highly recommend!

Pence K9 was the best thing we could've done for our dog! He went in knowing basic manners and came out 100% improved!
Pence K9 did a wonderful job training our blue heeler!!
Jason did an amazing job with our 6 month old lab. He worked with his strengths and helped explained next steps in his training development. We feel comfortable reaching out with additional questions. Our pup developed a strong basic training that we fill confident in maintaining. I’ve already recommended to friends with puppies.
I am so happy with the way Max has turned out. He no longer chases our cat. He has learned many commands that are beneficial to leading a stress free life for him and our family. He no longer jumps on us and other people. He stays on his place instead of running to greet everyone…Read full reviewClose full review
I am so happy with the way Max has turned out. He no longer chases our cat. He has learned many commands that are beneficial to leading a stress free life for him and our family. He no longer jumps on us and other people. He stays on his place instead of running to greet everyone who comes in the house. He no longer nips and barks at us or anyone walking by our house. There is so much my husband and I learned on what to do and not to do with our wonderful well mannered dog. I can not thank Jason enough for what he has done for us and Max. I would not hesitate having him train any dog. He is that good. Jason is patient, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to answer any questions we have; even after training and we are at home.
