FirstBarkWe had a great puppy Kindergarten experience with our golden retriever puppy, Dolly. We worked with trainers Mark and Kayla, both of whom are awesome and easy to learn from! We will continue to use Bark Tutor for daycare and other needs! Highly recommend them.

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!

Everyone at Bark Tutor was so loving toward the dogs! We especially loved Mark who trained our girl specifically. He was kind and patient and we saw immediate results. You can tell when people love animals and these people do! I felt safe and comfortable leaving my dog with them for the 3 week day training.
We took our puppy Willow to Bark Tutor for the 3 week day training and she absolutely loved it! She learned so much in the 3 weeks and so did we. Her trainer Mark was exceptional and explained all of the commands to us during our training sessions. We saw so much growth in Willow and are so glad we took her to Bark Tutor!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Bark Tutor! We wrapped up the Family Manners class with our puppy Benny in October and the lessons we all learned have really stuck. Kayla does an amazing job of teaching owners not only how to train their dog, but also how to manage their environment to help their dog be as successful as possible. The class not only helped Benny improve his manners, it made us better owners!
Highly recommend bark tutor! We took our 3 month old mixed breed puppy for the dog training. Our main goals were to make sure he was socialized properly with other dogs and to learn basic obedience. Kayla the certified dog trainer that we worked with did an amazing job with him! I never doubted that he was in good hands- he loved going in every morning.
