FirstBarkAnn is amazing she listens and hears the issues and concerns and addresses them with ease. Clearly our dog loves visiting and training with Ann, even whines on the way to training in excitement! We appreciate you and your guidance and support!

I don’t have a fenced yard. Can I bring my dog to you for in person training.
I offer in person sessions at my studio in Gig Harbor and virtual sessions, I do not come the the home.
Community answer · Sound Dog Connection · 2022-09-21
We begin with a virtual session. I do have location I can use in Gig Harbor, so as some point we can meet there. For now I begin with a Zoom session, where we discuss the issues and concerns and begin the training. These session are getting excellent reviews, check out the testimonial section on my site:)

Wonderful relaxed training sessions using positive reinforcement always. Our Rottweiler Ruby runs to the door she gets so excited!
Our pup Archie has loved working with Ann and her team - especially at her really spacious new location. We’ve used both her training services and her nose work packages. If you don’t know about nose work and the benefits to your pup… it’s been a huge help for our little guy. We highly recommend Ann. She is super knowledgeable and genuine.
Ann is absolutely lovely to work with. We learn new tricks for building my dog's confidence every session, and we all have fun in the process. The new space is wonderful! It is easy to get to, and it's located next to a vet, so there's welcome distractions to use for training.
Absolutely love the new location! We just had our first sniff session in the new store and Paisley loved it! She came in, had the zoomies, and got straight to work on her sniffs. Paisley was very comfortable here and had a great time!
