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.

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!

My high expectations for Bark Tutor were completely exceeded. Two weeks into puppy life with Raggy, I was questioning my decision making skills, but their training program quickly turned things around. Reagan, his primary trainer, was excellent at teaching me about both general puppy behavior and Raggy's specific needs. The detailed behavior report cards, homework and training tips were insightful and educational. Kayla has been brilliant in helping us work through challenges at home using her talent for explaining training concepts in simple, actionable terms.
Raggy continues to attend daycare at Bark Tutor, loving supervised play with other dogs and seeing his favorite trainers.
Bark Tutor's comprehensive approach to positive training has provided him with the foundation to be a well adjusted family member with great social skills and manners.
I love this place!

They were outstanding. Bark Tutor was recommended by several different people. After I dog sat for a Bark Tutor graduate, I signed up my puppy. Bark Tutor is a worthwhile investment for a well adjusted dog and happy household.

I recently had the pleasure of bringing my second puppy, Lucy, to Bark Tutor, and once again, I cannot recommend them enough. The training experience was fantastic, and it made having a puppy again, so much easier. Knowing how to work with Lucy and reward her for good behavior has been invaluable.
A special shoutout to Kayla and Madison, who were both phenomenal to work with. Their patience, expertise, and genuine love for dogs made a significant difference. They took the time to ensure that both Lucy and I understood the training process, which has helped us bond and communicate better. And I can’t wait to bring her back for daycare and ongoing training as she gets older.
Having had two puppies trained at Bark Tutor, I can confidently say that the skills you and your puppy learn here are top-notch. If you're looking for a place to train your puppy and foster a great relationship with them, Bark Tutor is the place to go.

Again, Bark Tutor has exceeded our expectations. We are so pleased with the training that our husky, Chester, has received. Reagan did such a wonderful job training both Chester and us. These skills will make for a wonderful, well rounded life at home and in public. I would be remiss not to also acknowledge the contributions of Madison and Kayla too! This is our second husky to receive training from this trio. (and 4 with Bark Tutor in total) (Kayla trained Chesters half brother, Stirling, last year. ) This breed is notoriously stubborn and the trainers at BT were able to produce well behaved, obedient and all around good canine citizens.
