Little Barkers Dog Training
Little Barkers is run by a lifelong animal lover who has always wanted to work with animals. Training has infused such joy in her life.
Training Philosophy
Little Barkers uses positive reinforcement methods based on the science of behavior. The training methods are based on the Karen Pryor Academy's clicker training, which uses a clicker to mark desired behavior and then rewards the dog with a treat. This method is designed to create a deep bond between the dog and owner, without fear or force.

Customer Reviews
Ginger W.: Louise started working with Amazing Grace when she was nine weeks old. As Louise worked with Gracie, she explained and demonstrated each step we should follow to be consistent in our delivery of commands. Gracie quickly responded to Louise's positive training methods and her skills continue to improve to this day.
Amy G.: Louise is fantastic to work with! She did a wonderful job of teaching our whole family how to have a great relationship with our puppy. She's super encouraging with people and dogs which I needed! I really love her positive approach. We started with 5 sessions to get our puppy on the right track and then we've loved having her come back to help us with specific training issues we've run into - like introducing a new kitten to our house! Working with Louise is a the best investment in the lifelong enjoyment we will have with our dog.
Jan G.: Louise is wonderful with our dog, Annie. Thought there was no hope, but she has shown us there is. Highly recommend.

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet.

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
