    Does your dog or puppy need to learn to socialize with other dogs? At The Barking Zone it is all day play Monday through Friday and a half day on Saturday. We are located at Caldwell Mill Animal Clinic so doctors are on site for extra safety if anything should happen while your dog is at play. This I believe is one of the most important issue for safety for your dogs stay with us. We have over a 4000 sq ft yard which is divided for the small dogs and the big dogs. We have been in business for 14 years and let's just say we know how to let dogs party and have some fun. The day care is all outside so rain, shine hot or cold - we are out playing. We also have a roof that covers 3/4 of the yard to keep it cool and shady.A typical day at day care follows these times:• 8:00am - 11:30am - Play Time• 11:30 - Bring dogs in for nap time• 12:00pm - 1:00pm nap time• 1:00pm - 4:30pm - Play Time• 4:30pm - Put into assigned spots until Mom or Dad come pick them upOur hours are 7:00am to 6:00pm · Listed price: [object Object]

    The Daycare and Training Private Package is 4 privately taught sessions in which we will discuss what your goals are, and put together a plan to achieve them. We will begin working on fundamental obedience (leadership exercises, sit/stay, down/stay, place, recall, walking proper on the leash), and cover any issues such as: jumping, behavior problems, pulling on the leash, etc.This is a program like a mini board and train without the boarding. Our board and train program is more intense, this is like the cliff notes of the program. The goal is to have this program accomplished in 1 week. We find it easier for the first 2 sessions it is just us and the dog working with no owner around. Your will drop your dog off for the day with us and we will work your dog during the day on Monday and Wednesday and they will play at daycare and learn a few things. Then you just pick up your dog those days and go about your business. The next 2 days will be scheduled within the next week with showing · Listed price: [object Object]

5/5

Rudy, our Frenchton, did a 7-day Board and Train with Rick and it went very well. Rudy also goes to Barking Zone 2 - 3 days per week and absolutely loves it! He loves the trainers and is always well cared for while in their care.

Where would I be without The Barking Zone! They always take such good care of my two dogs (one of which is a new puppy). Love picking them up from 'daycare' because they are wiped out by the time we get home. Just enough time to feed them and put them to bed:) Thankful for Rick and his amazing staff, always! JGreen

The Barking Zone has been the best thing for my Cavachon! He has made so many doggie friends & become much more social. All I have to say is ‘daycare’ & he sits waiting to go to the car for his ride there. Everyone there is absolutely excellent with him & I know he’s getting the best care possible every time!

Rick trained our Pyrenees/Aussie mix for a week. It was time and money well spent! She came home with an excellent foundation to be a happier (and more obedient) member of our family. Thank you Rick!

I like Rick a lot. He is a very experienced and successful trainer. Passionate about training canines and their humans as well.
