A bark idea was the best decision we ever made for our Great Dane puppy. The crew there has been helpful with training and socializing him. He has been going since he was 3 months old and has learned so much and is so great with adults and children and other dogs. I was super nervous leaving our fur baby at doggy care but I couldn’t imagine him being in better hands. The girls send updates on how he is doing and amazing/hilarious photos of him having a blast. We just got a new puppy and he will be starting next week. We also love that they are very on top of health records for all dogs to keep a safe environment and they are super on top of cleaning the pups play areas as well! You will not regret bringing your fur babies here Cami and Kelsey are amazing.

A Bark Idea is a safe, clean, happy environment for your pup to play and learn….we’ve been taking our 16 month old golden retriever to Cami and Kelsey for over a year. They quickly corrected naughty puppy behaviors with positive reinforcement and send us updates throughout the day. We can no longer say “A Bark Idea” out loud in front of Otis….he gets way too excited!

I was referred to A Bark Idea by multiple friends. I couldn't be more impressed by both Cami and Kelsey. They always have smiles and amazing customer service. My dog Scottie May knows when we park where she's headed and can hardly contain her excitement. It's her absolute favorite spot to go. There is no place I'd rather her go for training and daycare/boarding. I have absolutely zero worries when i drop her off as I know she's in the most excellent hands. Oh and an added bonus is that we can look forward to getting texts during the day with pictures and updates on how much fun your pooch is having... A+++ service all around. Thank you!

My husband and I rescued a puppy during the pandemic (first time dog parents!) and we can not say enough wonderful things about A Bark Idea! They are so easy to be in touch with via texting the company phone for scheduling/pick up/drop off which is so convenient. The quality and care that has been put into the space is absolutely unparalleled. The team Cami has assembled is also impressive. Every single team member is kind, energetic and genuinely cares about the pups who come to play. They text photos throughout the day and the puppies always look SO well cared for and happy. With this business, the prices absolutely reflect the quality of care your dog is receiving and we could not be happier we found them!
