I paid for 6 classes for my puppy a couple of months ago. The owner contacted me to let me know that the classes would have to be rescheduled due to her mother dying. Of course I had no problem with that and told her I understand. She said she would call me to reschedule the classes but months later I still have not heard from her. I was not upset about this as I can only imagine how hard it would be to loose my mom however I contacted her multiple times to see when we could get them rescheduled or too see if I could just get a refund so that I could take my puppy somewhere else. We was having a lot of problems with the new puppy and really needed assistance. Still has yet to return my calls or messages. ******Thank you for your response but it has been 5 months since I originally paid for classes. The right thing to do if you are unable to give the classes for 5 months, is to refund the money so that I could take my puppy somewhere else. Not refund it to the bark academy account that was useless becouse you was unable to give the classes. That is not fair or the right thing to do. I would appreciate a refund of my money for the 6 classes that I paid for so that I can take her somewhere else and I will edit my review to reflect this.

Absolutely love Melissa! She is so patient and loves the animals she works with. She makes a real connection with each pet and they truly love her.

Training was very good, we took our german shepherd in because he got aggressive around other dogs and all the training showed results, he learned sit, leave it, come, down, stay and many other things, he is easier to walk on a leash, and today he walked in front of another dog and he did not bark or jump at him, she is very attentive and patient, i highly recommended the bark academy!

Just had my second visit with Melissa. She is wonderful working with Jake my basset hound. He loves going there. And he is learning so much better with her help. Thank you very much.
