Train With Us!

Develop the respect that is needed for a healthy relationship while increasing your dog's confidence and understanding. The primary goal of The Barking Dog is to produce a companion animal that bonds with and respects its guardian and has the ability and desire to please.

Through working with your family, you will be able to better understand canine behavior and how to effectively communicate with your dog. This is achieved by recognizing that your dog is a living creature with a brain and has the ability to make his own choices. Our trainers influence the dog’s behavior in a natural way, allowing him to make right and wrong choices. It is only through making a wrong decision that your dog can learn and better understand what the expected behavior is.
