Barbra was phenomenal! My dog Ripley was like a wild animal any time we went for walks, my shoulders would ache from her pulling so hard on the leash! Barbra seriously taught Ripley and I both so much in our one visit, the value is outstanding. The difference for us was immediate.

We were trying to figure out how to walk our dog,,, not our dog walking us!! Problem solved!! Barbara is VERY good at distinguishing the relationship between the dog and us and the characteristics that all dogs have and how easy it is for them to get into bad habits. Have only been there twice and have had monumental improvements she is like a new dog!! This is priceless education and information highly recommended!!
Barbara is wonderful and we saw a difference in our dog before we left. 😁

I have only seen Barb twice, and I wish I knew of her sooner, I am now seeing her once a week for private lessons. I went to quite a few dog trainers locally and none of which I feel like I learned much from past my current knowledge, as I was always eager to get more information than I currently had. A lot of the trainers I worked with I felt were talking to me as if they were reading a book and were very linear, they struggled to answer questions and also did not understand the difference between a pet and sport dog. When I met Barb, I began to actually learn past my knowledge and she spent time with me to actually explain things to me that I didn't understand. Her dog shows for her work and she always works with the dog in front of her as well as with the handler on what they're looking to get with their dog. 10/10 I will always recommend West Plains Canine School to absolutely anyone and everyone.
Barb is the best if you have any issues with your dog. She's right to the point and gives you more information in one class then you can get at a month of training classes at other locations. I highly recommend her, she knows her stuff!
