FirstBarkI’d been researching dog training for some time when I came across The Barking Zone. Most training was for two weeks or longer and a bit more than I wanted to gamble on. Our Black Lab “Buddy” was out of control at home. Jumping on people, always in a rush, not minding commands at all. The difference after one week is incredible. A much calmer, disciplined dog he is! Thank you Rick

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: $25.00

Program details
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: $375.00

I don't know what we were thinking when we adopted two puppies from the same litter, who both grew to be over 50 pounds. I was heartbroken over the loss of my beloved Pepper who hardly needed any training and was the best angel dog. Anyway, fast forward to 59# Lulu and her 63# brother Levi, who had gotten beyond our control with barking, jumping, chewing, and separation anxiety. We knew from boarding our daughter's dog with Rick at Barking Zone 4+ years ago that it was going to be the best solution for these siblings. At 15 months old, we knew it was the optimal time for them to take the remote collar board and train party. Sooner might have been better, but we were able to combine their boarding with our vacation. Rick and his head trainer posted daily updates on instagram and Facebook so we could see their progress. When we got home, these dogs were obedient and so much calmer, still remaining loving and sweet. Some people worry that prong and education collar training will crush a dog's spirit, but don't - Rick and crew know what they are doing! Lulu and Levi are happy and healthy, loving as always, and we are continuing to reinforce what they learned to keep them calm and obedient. We highly recommend The Barking Zone! Thanks Rick!!

Our dog Tahla attends Barking Zone and I would just like to say we love it and she loves it. The people there are absolutely amazing and respectful. They love Tahla so much. Payton comes out behind the reception desk and greets her every time, along with another girl who is newer. This lets me know my Tahla is loved. I truly appreciate Aidyn. He and Tahla have a special bond that is so sweet. I feel safe leaving my baby here because I know he will take care of her no matter what, along with James and Ashton. I can tell all three of them are animal lovers and can handle my Tahla’s rambunctious, yet loving, behavior. Thank you all so much! I truly appreciate what y’all do for our baby girl. Keep up the great work guys! Y’all are amazing.
Oakley did the two week board and train and we have been very pleased with her progress since coming home.
Our goldendoodle, Sally, did a week long board and train. She responded really well to the strategies and we got training session when she was finished and a nice training package and book to take home to follow up her training. Thanks so much!
