My two German Shepherds and I have been attending Classes at the Thinking K9 since she opened her doors. I am very happy with Barb’s positive reinforcement approach to dog training. This has been very effective and when practiced as Barb instructs, your dog will learn quickly as well as the bond you have with your dog. ” Watch Me” ( Once you take a class you will get that quote)

There have been a few session where due to scheduling I have taken my dogs to other facilities and I sincerely mean it when I say they just don’t compare. Barb truly loves what she does, she quickly learns not just your dogs personality but yours as well, then develops her classes such that they will be most effective for all. Along with all of her years of experience, she also attended the Michael Ellis School for dog trainers in California, which would be considered an “Ivy League” for this field. In short, this lady knows her stuff.

I wish someone would take a video of the first few minutes of the first class of one of her CGC classes then the last few minutes of that same class at the end of the session. I have been in 4 of the classes and the transformation is always incredible. Furthermore Barbs personality fosters an environment where class participants become friends , be it a Monday Night Rally Precision Rally class or a Thursday Night Rally X, its always the same, a group of people and dogs get together, learn, encourage each other, have a good time, and laugh……. a lot.
