FirstBarkRoo is amazing! She’s not only great with the pups, but she has the patience and skills to teach us puppy parents what to do. My new puppy and I love going to class, learning, and getting to socialize with the rest of the class. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn about puppy culture and how to communicate effectively with your pup!!

Roo is such a special trainer. She has a calming approach and the ability to translate between human and puppy needs and language. She wants the best for everyone. I am grateful to bring my Gracie to The Puppy School. Can't wait for future classes!
As a new dog owner, it can be intimidating and confusing. Roo helped give Diego and I communication skills and direction, which was so needed. Kinder Puppy One was great! Can't wait for Kinder Two! It's a beautiful journey. We highly recommend The Puppy School!

Roo knows her stuff! She helped my puppy Hazel to overcome some pretty major fears, and become a more confident dog. We completed Puppy Kindergarten 1, and we are very pleased with the commands Hazel has learned. We are starting Puppy Kindergarten 2 this week, where we will work on leash training and public manners. Roo's methods with dogs are gentle and individualized. The pricing for classes is really good too! Highly recommend The Puppy School.
Roo has been amazing with my dog and has helped improve his behavior significantly! She is very informative and goes into details about everything you need to know. She helps you understand why your dog is acting a certain way and how to properly correct and also reward good behavior.
