A Bark Idea

A Bark Idea has been such a wonderful place for my dog Luna! The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are happy and safe. Every time I drop Luna off, she’s wagging her tail and so excited to go in—which gives me complete peace of mind. They keep the space clean, the pups active, and they always share updates that make me feel connected while I’m away. It’s clear they genuinely love the dogs and treat them like family

My daughter has a service dog (Lola) that isn't able to go to school with her. She still has a LOT of puppy energy and gets bored and anxious when she isn't working. She also LOVES other dogs and missed the daily interaction of her classmates at the training ranch where she did her SD completion. By the time my daughter would end her days at school, Lola would be unfocused, would heighten my daughter and they'd BOTH be disregulated and anxious. A Bark Idea has been a godsend! Lola loves the ENTIRE team! Being a service dog, it is important to us that Lola has close eyes on her and is not in an environment that derails her teaching. A Bark Idea delivers that above and beyond our expectations. I receive updates every day on how she is doing with frameworthy photos accompanying them. Every time I pick Lola up, she's happy, calm and ready to work. It's a much better pairing with my daughter. Finally, I love the idea there is a big part of Lola's life that is JUST for her. I think we all need that. Dogs are no exception. Her relationships with the team and her daycare buddies are SO important to all of us. My ONLY complaint is that we can no longer drive down Artesia in silence. Lola will now howl if we pass A Bark Idea and it isn't a daycare day. :oP A+++

We feel so lucky to have found A Bark Idea! Our 9 month old pup, Daisy, started when she was about 4 months old and A Bark Idea quickly became her second family. Their whole staff (Cami, Justin, Kelsey + more) are all so kind & knowledgeable and it’s a huge comfort knowing Daisy is always SO excited when we pull up for daycare in the mornings. I highly recommend their Happy Puppy School which helped us build up Daisy’s skills from simple commands (sit, stay, come, down, go to your bed, etc) to learning how to handle everyday situations at home (jumping, counter surfing, learning to not be afraid of the dishwasher or what to do when guests come to the front door). Lately, we’ve been so thankful that they’ve continued to help us work with her leash training and overcome some sound anxiety/stimulation. As first-time puppy parents, A Bark Idea is always willing to help us learn how to communicate with Daisy and read her body language – this has been particularly challenging as Daisy is more anxious/fearful out in the world and is not something we’ve dealt with before. A Bark Idea has been the best partner to lean on in making sure Daisy grows into a happy, well-mannered, & comfortable dog! Can’t recommend A Bark Idea enough!! ❤️
