About B.A.R.K. Institute

B.A.R.K. University is the premier place for dog training and dog boarding. We are situated 7 beautiful acres in Southampton. Our state of the art facility built in 2024 includes: a large training room with rubber flooring, stress-free boarding kennels, large outdoor yards with turf, an oversize play yard for socialization, woods for hiking and more! We live onsite to ensure 24/7 monitoring, as well as a full camera system within the facility for extra security measures. Owned by a veterinary technician and professional dog trainer, BARK U offers dogs an immersive experience for training with an "at home" feel. We provide luxury boarding accommodations, as well as medical boarding for those special pups who require a bit extra TLC.

This was the THIRD dog training for my furry grandson Blade. The 1st was in CA where he was born just for puppy rules. Then when my son had to return for health reasons, we tried his 2nd doggy school last year which was HORRIBLE! B.A.R.K. was the absolute BEST! After only 2 weeks of day training he is a different dog! I am now able to take him for walks and not worry about him pulling me down the street (he's 120 lb Great Dane and still growing), or barking at every person or dog that walks past us or passed my house. I am VERY happy with the results and would recommend this place to anyone that needs their pup to have good manners!

I first came to know BARK Institute while going through the dog adoption process with my husband. I was introduced to Jaime, the owner and a trainer at BARK. Jaime had taken in a few local shelter dogs due to an overflow of animals and graciously extended her knowledge and skills onto what is now a very special dog to us. Our dog was with Jaime for four weeks prior to his adoption. During that time, Jaime not only worked to refine his obedience and manners, but she was able to bring out his true love bug personality. Jaime could not have been more informative and flexible during the times we met with her and she truly made sure that our boy Rooster was not just a great dog, but a dog that would safely blend with our family of two young daughters. As a business, I can honestly say BARK is top notch. In the few visits we had we experienced a warmth and friendliness that is hard to come by these days. The facility is brand new and beautiful, and there is no question that every dog that enters that facility is well cared for and loved. If you are in need of training, boarding, or interested in acquiring a dog, do yourself a favor and seek out Jaime at BARK! We will be eternally grateful for the work she has done that has led us to our newest boy❤️

We have been nothing short of thrilled with our experience at B.A.R.K Institute. Our pup Gracie has been attending the day training program with the hopes of becoming a therapy dog to adult and children with autism. The trainers have customized her training sessions to help us meet this goal. Everyone has been amazing with including us in her training as issue come up to guild us in her “homework”. I have also watched how they work with other dogs that have fear and or social issue making sure the dog is calm and comfortable it’s been a pleasure to work with them on our journey with Gracie therapy dog training.

I cannot thank B.A.R.K. enough. We adopted a time stamped dog and when we got her home she had a lot of behavioral issues. We needed to get her into training as soon as possible. B.A.R.K. took our dog in the next week and basically turned a broken, untrained stray dog into a well behaved, happy family dog. They also did a really good job training me so I had the tools I needed to be a good dog parent. I needed just as much training as our dog did and they were very patient and helpful with me. I highly recommend them!!!
