In four weeks, our Rosie went from being a manic, though lovable, calamity to becoming a really pleasant member of our household. I was concerned about sending her away for four weeks. She has a seizure disorder and must be medicated two times per day. I was assured by Jamie that this would not be a problem and that several of their dogs require daily medications. I was worried that she would languish without us. No worries there because BARK sends lots of pictures and videos every day through their app which were very reassuring and fun! I was also concerned that we would undo all of the great training she had once back at our house. This was also unfounded because the trainer (Jessica!) was available right away to handle all of my frequent questions. I also appreciated that the staff supplied a log which indicated when Rosie took her medications. This experience was positive in every way and I cannot stress enough how much easier our lives are with a dog who is calmer and more manageable. I believe that she is happier also because she knows what to do and is much more confident. Walking her in the park is such a pleasure!

Sending our six month old German Shepherd puppy to Bark for the four week, Boot Camp was the best Decision we could have made. Chloe worked with our Ivy to make sure that she was well trained and well behaved. Bark sent daily updates and photos so that we knew Ivy was being taken care of and loved. I highly recommend this training facility for anyone who wants their dog to come out well trained.

The team at BARK are top notch! Our four pups had a wonderful time - they came home happy and exhausted. Our anxious baby mastered the treadmill and doggie door in 2 days!! The most stress free and loving boarding experience!

Taking my new puppy Finley to BARK Institute was the best decision ever. They have been amazing in teaching us how to raise a great dog and have a positive experience doing so. They have taught Finley how to be the Best Boy! And most importantly they love him and treat him as their own. Finley gets so excited on school days and his confidence has skyrocketed! Highly Recommend! ❤️🐶

B.A.R.K. Institute has been a great relief for us! Our anxious dog is comfortable and cared for when we’re away. They send photos and videos of her every day and are always happy to give us an update. The staff are terrific!
