I sent my dog to them and didn’t get half of the services I paid for, was put in multiple uncomfortable positions and ended up having to re-home my dog due to his behavior and conflicts with my apartment and when I requested a refund they told me that they would reassign a new trainer who didn’t reach out until weeks after I no longer had my dog, they then they asked if I was going to get a new dog and they would give me another training session until finally they said they would get back to me but stopped answering my emails.

My dog, Monte, is 5 years old and had a lot of reactivity issues to other people and dogs after being cooped up during the pandemic. I felt all was lost and I could not do it alone. Manny from Bark & Birch was everything I could have hoped for and MORE. Not only did he care incredible care for 3 weeks of my dog but he cares. He wants to know what I have been through as the owner and what brought Monte to his situation. I got daily videos and tips, he answered every question I have had, and you could just tell how much he cared for Monte like his own while in his care and training. Overall I would recommend Manny and Bark & Birch for anyone who is debating on getting some training and good habits for their dogs. Monte is still his same goofy and wild self but he LISTENS. Thank you Bark & Birch!

Don't let your dog with them! They don't know who they hire for training! They just want to steal your money!

I paid $3000 and needed a refund at the end of June because both of my parents got sick, one terminally ill and the other broke her leg. I was sent $600 and here we are, Mid October and no one will give me a call back with my remaining $2400. I have given this company my personal checking info, my card info and no refund. My dad passed away last week, and I need this money to pay back his funeral expenses. I just keep getting the run around that the ‘higher ups’ will take care of it. Why haven’t they called me directly? Is this even a legit company
