A Bark Idea is amazing! Our puppy has been staying with them since he was a baby and every single experience we have had has been great. Everyone who works there is so kind and wonderful and we always know we are leaving our puppy in good hands. We have also utilized their puppy training and they have done an amazing job! We have seen so much progress. Highly recommend having your dog stay here, they will be kept safe, make friends and have so much fun!

We absolutely LOVE Bark Idea! Cami, Kelsey and team are amazing, and treats our dog, Bailey, like she is their own! We initially tried other daycare places, but this by far, is Bailey's favorite home away from home and we won't ever go anywhere else! When we bring out the "blue leash" to take her to Bark Idea, she knows it will be a fun day. She gets so excited and runs around the house like she is going to Doggie Disneyland! We love the personalized touches, the mid day photo shoots, and the amazing socialization and love Bailey gets when she is there. I know Bailey has become even more obedient and social since she has been going to Bark Idea. I appreciate the 'informal training' as part of her day there. Cami and team are so knowledegable, always providing effective training tips. Highly recommend Bark Idea for training, daycare and boarding needs for your fur babies!

I work crazy hours and didn’t know if I could take on a puppy this last year, but I’m SO thankful I found A Bark Idea!! My pup Sandy is a regular for both boarding and day care and absolutely loves them. Highly recommend to anyone - the nicest people and best care you could ask for!!! <3

I am so grateful for this place! Cami and Kelsey always take such great care of my dog, Freddie - I wouldn't trust leaving him with anyone else! They are dog trainers and only use positive reinforcement, which I love. They also send the cutest photo updates each day to show me how much fun Freddie is having. So thankful to have a place that cares just as much about our dogs as we do. Thank you!
