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!

We took our puppy, Maui, to Bark Tutor for their 3-week puppy program. As first time dog owners we weren't sure where to begin with training until we started at Bark Tutor. Our trainer was Kayla, and we could not have asked for a better trainer! She provided daily updates and provided us with all of the tools necessary to ensure we could practice Maui's new skills at home. Kayla showed a genuine interest in the success and well-being of our pup. The rest of the Bark Tutor staff was very friendly and professional. Overall, I would highly recommend Bark Tutor to any prospective customers.

Our 4 month old Chocolate Lab just finished his 3 week puppy training at Bark Tudor. We can’t say enough about this positive experience. Mark our trainer not only was great with our dog, Willett, but we as humans learned a ton from him. Mark was professional, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Willett is going to miss Mark very much, they definitely became best buddies. We have three dogs and have been through they very different training programs, Bark Tudor is far superior to any program we have experienced to date. We will never go anywhere else for training again. We have and will continue to recommend Bark Tudor and Mark specifically for puppy training.

Our experience with Bark Tutor could not have been better! While we had previously rescued adult dogs, we were completely naive about puppies. Our trainer, Kayla, and the staff could not have been more kind or welcoming with us. In particular, Kayla was patient and attentive to our training goals. As we work towards getting our pup certified as a Canine Good Citizen, we know that his success is due in part to Kayla's hard work with our family.

Our one-year-old pug has so much “love” to give, but we noticed that he (and we) struggled to express his behavior appropriately. So we called the professionals! And we are so glad we did. From the initial call with Kylee, we knew Bark Tutor was right we’re Reggie needed to be! We enrolled him in the 3-week day training program and never looked back. We are so thankful for Reggie’s trainer, Mark. The Reggie we dropped off on day one and the Reggie we picked up on day 14 were sincerely two totally different dogs! Mark was incredibly patient and diligent with not only Reggie, but also with me and my husband, who I’m sure at times were more difficult to train than the dog. You can clearly see that he has a special gift! We were so impressed with Mark, and all of the other Bark Tutor staff that we encountered during drop-offs and pick-ups. We would recommend Bark Tutor to literally anyone. It was a fantastic investment! Reggie learned so much, made so many new friends, and had an absolute blast at Bark Tutor!!
