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.

What 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!

An animal behaviorist recommended the Bark Tutor. Bark Tutor’s trainer, Kayla, is a former zoo animal trainer. In three weeks, she took a puppy that didn’t pay attention and taught Arlo behavior to fit into our home. Kayla gave us the language to speak with our dog. She provided one-on-one lessons for us to work with our dog and, if needed, troubleshooting. Bark Tutor provides daily reports along with excellent how-tos and tips. Arlo was excited to go to school every day. Highly recommend!

We would recommend Bark Tutor to anyone considering training lessons for their precious pups! We noticed good changes in our dog very quickly. Their techniques are simple and easy to remember and apply. They give private consultations and training sessions with your and your pet. We cannot say enough about our tutor, Kayla! She was understanding and committed to helping us!

A Pawsitively Wonderful Experience with Kayla, Our Dog Trainer! I am writing to express our utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional dog training services provided by Kayla and Carrigan when she` fill in for a few days. From the very first session, it was clear that Kayla possesses a rare and remarkable talent for connecting with dogs, and our beloved Matteo benefited immensely from her expertise. Kayla's passion for her work is evident in every interaction. She took the time to understand Matteo's unique personality, tailoring the training sessions to address his specific needs and challenges. Her patience, enthusiasm, and positive reinforcement techniques created a comfortable and enjoyable learning environment for both Matteo and our family. What truly sets Kayla apart is her ability to explain complex training concepts in a way that is easy for us humans to understand. She provided us with invaluable insights into Matteo's behavior, helping us comprehend the reasons behind certain actions and offering practical solutions. Kayla not only trains dogs but also empowers owners to continue reinforcing positive behaviors long after the training sessions conclude. Matteo's progress has been nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to Kayla and Carrigan's guidance, he has mastered commands, overcome behavioral issues, and developed into a well-mannered and happy pup. It's evident that Kayla and Carrigan genuinely cares for the well-being of the dogs she works with, and her dedication to their success is truly heartwarming. Beyond her technical expertise, Kayla's friendly and approachable demeanor made each session a joy. She established a strong rapport with Matteo, creating a trusting relationship that made the training process enjoyable for him. Our family looked forward to each session with Kayla, knowing that we were not only investing in Matteo's training but also gaining a friend and mentor in the process. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone seeking a dog trainer who combines professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine love for animals. Our experience with her has been transformative, and Matteo's obedience and happiness are a testament to Kayla's skill and dedication. Thank you, Kayla, for being an exceptional dog trainer and for making a positive impact on Matteo's life and ours. We are forever grateful for the incredible journey you've taken us on!
