CLIENT COMMENTS
"I can't thank you enough for teaching us how to train Macy. She is catching on so fast, I am teaching her something new every other day. Using the skills you taught me with the clicker and treats, Macy will go down and crawl (army crawl) with one command. I love it! You addressed every concern we had with Macy and now she loves learning because it is fun for all of us. Maybe you'll see us dancing someday!"

"I found the class to be helpful for the relationship with our dog. Barbara was extremely knowledgeable and patient with each dog's needs. I would have liked to spend more time working on fewer tasks each week because some weren't given ample time to learn - although we did practice them in the following weeks."
- Gina Sideli
"If there were more dogs my shy dog would have learned more social skills. Very impressed with trainer's skill and knowledge."
- Sara Deproy
" Thank you Barbara, you have helped us and Zorro a lot. You have indeed gone beyond and above. We are grateful. We do plan to continue the good work that you have instilled in Zorro's training. We will also call in the future for any further advice or lessons. We'll see how it goes."

"Drake has been doing really well with his training and we took him on his first beach and camping trip this weekend, or at least his first one with us. His off-leash recall at the beach was excellent, even when he was playing with another dog and getting further away from us than I wanted. Sit and down are coming along as well and he is now getting out of the car a lot more quickly and without coaxing when we get home. Fetch and tug are going really well too."

"Before I called you, I dreaded taking my dog into town. At home, on 5 acres, he was terrific, but put a leash on him, and OH MY! Thanks to our sessions, I finally feel like I have the tools to make walks and trips into town enjoyable for both of us. The more we put into practice the tips you taught us, the better it gets. I appreciate your professionalism and efficiency. I'm looking forward to expanding our horizons with Brugge, and I hope our paths cross again soon.All the Best to You!"

"Hi Barbara, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your help with Bear. He's doing great. I consider myself a competent dog handler and I was very frustrated with the problem at the door. The session we had gave me the tools to fix it. You and your staff were great! I belive we are all on our way to a much happier household. Don't hesitate to use me as a reference I'll be glad to help.PS Some day I'd like to see him work at the fly ball thing sounds like fun."
- Larry Servis
"In the years that I have known Barbara I have always known her to be the pillar of professionalism. Her knowledge of dogs and their body language is above par. I am always amazed by Barbara and her ability to take the most ill-mannered dog and turn it around into a remarkable athlete. If a dog doesn't respond to traditional training methods, she'll keep trying until she finds something that works.
I highly recommend Barbara Darrow to anyone that needs help training their dog for Competition Sports, Obedience, or just a great Family Friend."

"Barbara was wonderful with my mini Aussie, Judy! She clicker trained her to be ball oriented so that she could participate in flyball. Her positive training and praise taught Judy to have FUN and want to play with the ball. Barbara also "trained" me how to work with Judy using a clicker and positive reinforcement to accomplish our goals without the stress of negative words or punishment.
Thank you, Barbara!"
