FirstBarkSapna was truly amazing! Before coming here my dog was a big time leash puller and walks were becoming more stressful then fun. After Sapna worked with my dog he was listening to every command and heeling right by people and other dogs as well. Highly recommend!

We took our 8 month old puppy, Nugget, to SMS, as we had taken 2 other s there previously for training and loved them.We were not disappointed! Nadyah was excellent and had such wonderful insight to Nugget's personality and anxieties. He is so much more confident and such a fast learner. Tha k you all so much! And thank you so much Nadyah!!

Where do I begin? A month ago, I sat in a consultation with owner, Colby, feeling so overwhelmed and defeated with the daily handling of our 11-month old Australian Shepherd, Murphy. Colby thoroughly explained the program and even did a quick demonstration with Murphy that left me feeling hopeful this could work. He assigned Marti (Senior Trainer) to be our trainer for the 3-week duration of Murphy’s training, and she BEYOND exceeded our expectations. Marti has such a gentle demeanor, the hardest work ethic, and genuinely wants to help strengthen the bond between you and your dog so you can ENJOY working with them. She not only helped us correct a lot of the issues we were having, but she took the time to listen to household behaviors and grievances and suggested many techniques and corrections to apply in-home that made a world of difference in our everyday lives. Here we are, 3 weeks later, and Murphy is light years ahead of where we were only a month ago. We owe it ALL to Marti!!!! Murphy has bonded so much with her that we can convince him to do just about anything if we tell him that “Marti will be there!” 😊 She’s more than a trainer to us, and we are so looking forward to continuing group classes to continue everything we’ve implemented and more!! 10/10!! ⭐️
They provided us the tools to reinforce good behavior. Definitely seen a change in behavior with our dog. Krista was more than informative. She took the 1.5 hr lesson with us very seriously and provided all the steps to continue training at home.

We brought our dog Ru in for some help with confidence and minor reactivity issues and saw such positive results that we ended up bringing our puppy Misa in as well. Marti did amazing with both of our dogs, and shared an endless amount of knowledge and patience with us. The entire staff is so great and you can tell they are passionate about what they do and really care about the dogs they work with. Would come here time and time again, without question.
