FirstBarkA beautiful and easy to access facility. I've attended multiple workshops and learned so much each time. It's clean, parking is free and right next to the building. Kat and the rest of the staff are so helpful and super passionate about an entirely positive experience both for dog and human. We are lucky to have them in RI!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you do therapy dog tests or training here?
At this time (April 2017), we do not offer therapy dog testing. However, we do offer AKC Canine Good Citizen testing which is a prerequisite for some therapy dog tests, and some of our group class students have gone on to pass the therapy dog test. We can help you train your dog toward this goal.

Over the last four years I have brought my two dogs to Crossbones academy to attend the puppy academy, this training has helped my family and I learn how to train our puppies and set us up with a good foundation towards having well mannered and obedient dogs without the use of aggressive devices or treatments. Training never stops, but I am happy to know that cross bones is here to support us in resolving any issues that may arise in the future. I highly recommend the puppy academy to new puppy owners. The younger the better.
If you want your dogs to be happy, obedient, well exercised and confident, sign them up for agility training at Crossbones. I've never seen my two Cavaliers so pleased with themselves!
PJ was excellent at identifying our crazy dog's issues and helping us learn to address them. He's a much better behaved dog now. We love him all the more for it. And thank PJ for her help!
Good training techniques provided. Friendly and helpful staff.
