Barks & Recreation

So happy we found Barks & Rec! The whole staff is so very friendly and sweet. Jen is a dream to work with! Our fiesty wiener dog needed a little extra support with training and Jen not only was able to help teach him how to better interact with people and other dogs, but was able to teach us how to better understand him and his behaviors, too. She gives real advice that actually works! Bonus: my dog LOVES bonding with his people through her training recommendations!

Very grateful for Jen and her team at Barks and Rec! We had recently adopted a two-year-old pup and were looking for a good trainer to work on a few behaviors we noticed related to walking and interactions. The Barks and Rec team were very quick to respond to our inquiry and get an evaluation and lessons on their schedule. At our initial evaluation, Jen was quick to provide reassurance that our behavior concerns could be easily addressed and estimated only a couple sessions would be needed to get them under control. Within just a few private sessions, Jen was able to educate us so much on the behaviors we were noticing and provide realistic training, expectations, and takeaways to address the behavior. Our pup responded incredibly quick and very well to the suggested training/lessons and it was so refreshing to be given the tools to make ourselves and our pup more comfortable and relaxed during daily walks and interactions. We would highly recommend Jen and her team at Barks and Rec for any training needs. We will be using them in the future for any training needs!
