What Clients Are Saying
"We signed our foster-to-be-adopted dog up for Puppy I class in hopes that we could curb some of her enthusiasm and maybe come away with some listening and understanding.........we did! There is a listening ear now and some acknowledgement from her that she hears me and I am not yelling at the wind. :) Brandi did a great job of interacting all class participants and letting us learn off of one another too."
-- Mary Ellen, Kerian and Juniper
"The training was very
comfortable for the dogs and non-confrontational. There
was no physical discipline or scolding or verbal scolding
for that matter. Brandi’s methods are highly effective
and we witnessed noticeable improvements in the boys’
behavior literally within 15 minutes! We found ourselves
quickly learning along with the dogs and have spent more
time enjoying their growth."

"I enrolled my "high energy" boxer in one of Brandi Barker's training classes, and the improvement in my dog's behavior is astounding. There once was a day where my dog would ignore most of my commands, but now with Brandi's training (for me and my dog), I can get my boxer to leave even a giant steak that might happen to fall on the floor. The folks at Barker Behavior are friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating to my (and my dog's) needs."

"Well, as a 6 pound Yorkie Ivy was scared of playing with the big dogs or make that any dog when we first started Puppy I. Now as we are finishing Puppy II she is the dog who is running around. This would not be possible without Barker's Lisa because she came to class 30 minutes early to let Ivy play with her dog Izzy. It was fantastic to have someone who was willing to give up some of her time to make sure my puppy was getting the most out of her class. It amazing how Lisa knows all of different ways to get all the different breeds of dog to become the class stars. This has been a positive experience for both of us.."

"Brandi runs a program
that I am 100% confident is the best way to train both safe
and effectively. From day one, I began to see signs that
my puppy was learning obedience, and the positive reinforcement
approach made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend attending
a training session with Brandi, not only for what the puppy
learns, but for all that the owner learns as well."

"Because I have five
dogs, I didn't want to have to try to take each one separately
to training classes, as I did when I only had one dog to
handle. So I contacted Brandi, and set up a schedule of
several "classes" in my home over a two month
period. Brandi was always on time, and eager to work with
each of my dogs. Each dog had different problem areas, from
nuisance barking to jumping up on guests, to pulling on
the leash on walks. After a few sessions, Brandi had me
"trained" and I learned what behavior to reward
and when to reserve my attention. She only used "positive
reinforcement" techniques, which was very important
to me. She never asked to take my dogs out of my sight to
work with them, which also was important to me. I'm still
working with my dogs, and call Brandi occasionally for "refresher"
classes. I would highly recommend her if you feel that your
dogs are part of your family, as I do, and want them trained
in a friendly, fun, positive atmosphere!"

"Brandi’s ability
to adapt her techniques, skill set and knowledge to the
specific needs of our family unit are excellent. She is
gifted with animals and they respond to her well. Also,
often folks who work with animals don’t have well-tuned
people skills. Brandi on the other hand has a great rapport
with adults and children."
-- Georgie, Marco,
Choco and family
"Brandi Barker is a great dog trainer. I called her
when I needed help retraining my 21/2 year old Berner. She
came to my home and worked with all members of my family
and my dog walker. Being very thorough, she followed up
the lessons with detailed e-mails on how to go about correcting
unwanted animal behavior. I saw improvement almost immediately
after following her recommendations. Brandi is very approachable
and always got back to me quickly, either by phone or e-mail.
I highly recommend her and plan on keeping in touch with
her on a regular basis."
