FirstBarkHouse of Dog is the best! We took our dog to puppy class when we first got him, and he's been going for daycare and boarding ever since - almost 5 years! The staff is incredible and takes such great care of our pup. And the pawgress reports are a great bonus, what a fun way to see what your dog was up to while they were there, especially if they're boarding. We wouldn't take him anywhere else!

How long do the pups spend crated for a 4 hour stay ?
It depends on the puppy. Play time is 5min- 15min each time and they play several times. If you sign up for dayschool it includes 10min of B&B pup club which is a course they do by themselves and they also get 30min of training. If they are shy or get overwhelmed at first they come out often but get several brakes. We are installing cameras here soon. I hope this helps.

What days are your classes?
They have classes every day, just depends on what classes your looking for. On their website, if you go to register now it shows all upcoming classes with the dates, times and prices. If there is a class you want that you don't see in their upcoming classes list, let them know, you could be the one more person they were waiting for to express interest before offering that class.

The instructor,Angie was very knowledgeable, patient and our 11 week old puppy loved her and made friends with all the other puppies 🐶 in class.
I have a really hard time leaving my boy Jack, but feel so safe leaving my baby in these folks’ care. They even have special accommodation for dogs with anxiety that don’t get along with other pups! I am relieved to have a place to take my boy, and appreciate all the updates they provide. Thank you to all the staff!!!
Such a great team! They take excellent care of my dog every time I board him.
The team is fantastic!
