About Bark Tutor School for Dogs

Bark Tutor School for Dogs is Indianapolis's original day training program, built specifically for puppies and adolescent dogs up to six months of age. Our credentialed trainers work with your dog during the day, then bring you into the process at pickup so the learning carries home with you. Our curriculum focuses on foundation obedience and essential life skills, with intentional socialization opportunities throughout. We believe the early months are the most important window in a dog's development, and we take that seriously. Programs include Day Training and Private Lessons. Graduates of Bark Tutor are also welcome to join our daycare program. Part of the Bradley Phifer Dog Training company.

What people have asked about this business.

how much, do y'all charge for each dog to go train there?

I paid $100 for a four-session intro class. Each class is about one hour long. Class itself, only ok. Instructors are great resources though!

Kayla was a wonderful trainer for Archie, our 5 month old mini-GoldenDoodle. She did a great job training Archie on basic commands, but also was a pleasure to work with on our one-on-one training sessions where she demonstrated the commands to us and helped us as we worked with Archie. Kayla is an excellent communicator and her daily report cards were complete/thorough She was a pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Kayla was a wonderful trainer for our rambunctious little Wheaten puppy. She not only did a great job training him with the basic commands, but also calm behaviors and socialization which have helped us when having him around other dogs or in new situations like going out to restaurants. On top of helping to train our puppy, she did a great job making sure we could take what he was learning home, and giving us the proper ways to reinforce those new behaviors. She was a pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Bark Tutor worked with our pup and we brought her in for more adult training in a group setting Kayla did a fantastic job leading our class and patiently working with dogs and owners through the challenges of helping our pups learn to have great manners. I definitely recommend a class with Kayla!

Kayla was an outstanding teacher. She worked so well with Lincoln and taught us as well. She communicated very well and we felt like we knew everything that was going on with Lincoln during the day. The report cards with pictures were great. Bark Tutor took very good care of him and he is now a more confident puppy. Highly recommend Kayla and Bark Tutor. Sign up was a bit confusing on the web page, but the service was outstanding.
