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.

Questions & answers

From Google

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!

Bark Tutor did a fantastic job training our puppy and teaching us how to maintain his manners at home. Kayla was super patient and always took the time to answer all my questions. Madison did a great job teaching us how to work with our puppy at home. Wanxuan was so wonderful and gave our puppy lots of attention. Our puppy also loved it and was excited to go there every day! We can’t thank the crew at Bark Tutor enough!

We took our American Corgi puppy to Bark Tutor for their three week puppy day training. Mochi absolutely loved going in and they were so wonderful with her. I was very happy with the ease of registration and looking at the report cards everyday in the portal was great. Even before we brought Mochi in they answered all of my questions and gave us advice. Madison was an amazing trainer and taught Mochi well. She was great at teaching us how to train and work with Mochi at home. Every day I took Mochi to "school" she was all wags and happy to go play with friends and work with Madison. You are given two exit lessons a week and Madison made sure to start by asking how things were going at home and addressed any concerns we had about Mochi's behaviors. She's a great advocate for all of the dogs and has their best interest in mind. We are very grateful to Bark Tutor and Madison for helping us learn.

Moxie absolutely loved going to Bark Tudor! She would get so excited every time a trainer came to get her from the car. Her trainer, Reagan, built trust with her right away and was very successful at teaching her commands such as, “stay”, “leave it”, “come” and “go to bed”. Reagan and Kayla did a great job of teaching me commands as well as coming up with creative ideas on how to curb Moxie’s biting and digging tendencies. I plan to continue taking moxie back for Daycare there as I know she will be in good hands!

Winnie LOVED going to school (she would get so excited every morning!), and it was clear she was being cared for and challenged in all the right ways. I can’t recommend Bark Tutor and Reagan enough. It was such a positive, professional, and fun experience for both Winnie and I!

We took our dog here for training and it changed her for the better. Made having a puppy so much better. In fact we still drop her off for daycare and board her at 7 Acres, as well, and she loves it. If something needs to be worked on, they are happy to assist her ongoing needs. Kayla, Madison, and Reagan rock. Couldn't say better things about this place.
