FirstBarkI could not have been more pleased with the quality of care and instruction during the 3 week training course for our Goldendoodle, Stella. Kayla and the rest of the staff at Bark Tutor were friendly, patient, and loving. Stella's obedience skills improved drastically, and as dog owners, we were taught the skills necessary to continue the training and improvement at home.

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 GoogleWhat 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's 3 week training course was wonderful. Marvin, our Bernedoodle puppy, learned so much from Kayla and the rest of the team. He got so excited to go to school every morning. All of the staff made me feel confident and comfortable leaving Marv in their care. They are so attentive and kind. I love that Bark Tutor sends photos of the pups throughout the day and provides a detailed report card each evening. Kayla did a great job teaching Marvin. His behavior and manners have improved so much and he's much more confident now. My husband and I also feel much more prepared to train and raise Marvin. Kayla gave us many resources and tips to make sure we're the best dog parents possible. I can't wait for Marvin to go back for daycare to see all his friends. I highly recommend Bark Tutor.
Couldn’t recommend Bark Tutor more. Kayla worked wonders with our pup and the overall experience was great!

I cannot recommend this place enough! Kayla is absolutely fantastic to work with and my experience with her has made me such a more confident puppy owner! She is patient, positive, and I saw results from her training techniques even just after the first day. Every day she would give me a very detailed report card, and instructions on how to continue the training at home, as well as super cute pictures of how much fun my dog was having! Everyone I encountered at bark tutor was so kind and made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog in their care. 10/10, such a great experience!
Cannot say enough about how amazing our experience with Kayla and Bark Tutor was for us! Our corgi puppy had the best time, and she learned so much! Kayla taught her everything we wanted her to know, and worked with me to make sure I'm consistent and keep her skills sharp. Easily the best investment I've made in our baby girl!
