This was our second time working with Joe and once again we couldn’t recommend The Bark Shop enough!! This time we had our 7 month old puppy (Toby) do a stay and train with her bigger sister (Bebe) for about 2 weeks, at first we were concerned with how they would behave staying away from home and interacting with other dogs. It turns out our dogs loved doing the stay and train!!

If you’re looking for the best dog trainer in the area, Joe at The Bark Stop is truly exceptional. He worked wonders with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Winnie 🐶❤️, and her training has been incredible. Joe has a natural gift for connecting with dogs and teaching owners in a way that feels simple, supportive, and effective. Winnie went from distracted and unsure to calm, confident, and beautifully well‑behaved. Joe’s positive reinforcement techniques, patience, and deep understanding of canine behavior made every session a breakthrough. We loved how: ⭐️ Joe’s training approach was gentle, personalized, and highly effective ⭐️ He gave us clear steps to practice at home ⭐️ Winnie absolutely adored him — nonstop tail wags 🐕💛 ⭐️ Each session felt fun, productive, and full of progress If you want a trainer who is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping dogs thrive, Joe is the one. We’re beyond grateful for everything he’s done for Winnie and for us. 🌟 Thank you, Joe — you made such a difference for our family 🐾🙌

Joe is an amazing trainer to work with. My fiancé and I did the 12 private training sessions package. It is wonderful that it is a training not based on choke collars or e-collars as our puppy had high anxiety and was scared of a lot of things. He provided the basic puppy training for our at the time 5 month old mini Aussie (Yumi) to start out with and we progressed into manners, socialization, off-leash training, and handling different environments, people, and other dogs. (dog park, lake eola, target, pets mart.) He will then cater to yours and your puppy’s needs based on what you are noticing outside of training. Joe is very responsive and provides a lot of cute pictures/videos of the training sessions along with us with our puppy. He would show us how to work with the our pup and then have us do it ourselves until we are comfortable. Joe is readily available through text if you have any questions outside of the training session. Yumi is doing amazing. She has alot of built up confidence, patience, and discipline to roam around the house and be out in public without us worrying. We will definitely be back for some of his doggy tune up training in the near future.
