Amazing wealth of knowledge! After 53 years on earth with plenty of pet dogs in my lifetime, I can still be taught new tricks.

You know that saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”? Well Barb at The Thinking K9 has proved over and over again that it’s not true!

She is also extremely informative and never made me feel stupid if I had questions or if my dog(s) were struggling to grasp something. … She is fantastic and is always willing to go the extra mile.
