About Bark Tutor School for Dogs
Bark Tutor School for Dogs is Indianapolis's original day training program, built specifically for puppies and adolescent dogs up to six months of age. Our credentialed trainers work with your dog during the day, then bring you into the process at pickup so the learning carries home with you. Our curriculum focuses on foundation obedience and essential life skills, with intentional socialization opportunities throughout. We believe the early months are the most important window in a dog's development, and we take that seriously. Programs include Day Training and Private Lessons. Graduates of Bark Tutor are also welcome to join our daycare program. Part of the Bradley Phifer Dog Training company.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
how much, do y'all charge for each dog to go train there?
I paid $100 for a four-session intro class. Each class is about one hour long. Class itself, only ok. Instructors are great resources though!

Thanks to the entire Bark Tutor team but especially to Taylor, a first rate trainer for our 4-month-old puppy. Not only did our pup learn basic obedience and good manners, she finished her course with greater confidence to match her curiosity. We are very pleased with our BT experience!
Our puppy had an amazing experience at Bark Tutor. Her trainers, Mark and Kayla, were incredible. Our puppy learned so much and was also so happy. Mark and Kayla taught our puppy more than we could have ever have imagined. The commands/skills that she learned have continued at home making a positive impact on our whole family. I highly recommend both Mark and Kayla!

We can not say enough amazing things about Bark Tutor and our amazing trainer Kayla! Our Great Dane puppy started with Kayla and completed two full training sessions with her (per our request).Kayla helped to teach and enforce basic commanding skills with Phoebe and socialization around other animals and people. Kayla was absolutely amazing in her knowledge and understanding of dogs and has an ability to read and understand their individual personalities and base their training lessons specific to their needs. During our one on one training sessions with Phoebe and Kayla every week we were able to walk away with new knowledge and techniques of handling skills for Phoebe. Every day we received a very detailed report card about the lessons Phoebe had that day as well as pictures. It was very clear that Kayla and all of the staff at Bark Tutor loved Phoebe as if she was one of their own. This was such a comforting feeling to have when dropping Phoebe off each day. We are forever grateful for Bark Tutor and plan to use there Seven Acres boarding as well in the near future!
Kerrigan is wonderful! She came to our home for a private lesson for our 14 week old puppy. She’s not only an excellent trainer (she had our puppy behaving within minutes), she’s an excellent teacher. Her instructions were clear and precise, and she was extremely patient with me. She even called me a few days later to inquire how it was going and to answer follow up questions. Worth every penny!
