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!

I spent 15 mins registering my dog for class just to receive an email a week later stating it was canceled so i asked why they replied i didn’t respond to their email which i never got on top of what was the purpose of me leaving my cell and office number for them to call i could have spent this time looking for a serious training school instead of getting the run around wasting time in them

We took our 4 month old golden retriever puppy Milly to Bark Tutor for their 3 week day training program. The entire staff and our trainer Kayla were so amazing with Milly and I felt so comfortable leaving her there everyday and knew she was in the best care. Over those three weeks her daily report card was the best part of my day! We recently took her to an outdoor brewery to practice her new skills and the experience was like night and day compared to before training. Thank you Kayla and Bark Tutor for giving us the best behaved family member.

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. When we first got our GSD puppy we knew we wanted a formal training program. We opted for the 3 week day training program. It is 100% worth every penny. Kayla, our trainer, is phenomenal and worked with us on the basic obedience training, answered any and all questions we had, and often went above and beyond with any extra troubleshooting we needed etc. She not only helped train Ruby but she also helped train us to be better communicators with our doggo. I cannot recommend her enough as she is truly a gifted trainer. BarkTutor was very flexible with us after we had to reschedule due to conflicts and make adjustments due to my education/work requirements.

Bark Tutor is an outstanding place to take your puppy or dog for training. I took my 3 month old basenji for Day Training. Day Training is a three week program where your dog is assigned a trainer 5 days a week to learn basic skills, manners, etc. Kayla was our trainer and we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Bark Tutor and Kayla. The entire staff is professional, reliable, friendly, attentive to you and your pooch. My puppy is now so well behaved and I have the confidence to take him in public and enjoy the experience. Thank you Kayla and Bark Tutor!!!

Bark Tutor and our trainer Kayla were amazing!! My dogs behavior improved so much. He was always sweet and smart but could be a handful at times and now he listens so much better and is so much more attentive to me. I can’t recommend bark tutor enough! I also love that they took pictures of him throughout the day.
