    Program details

    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

We are beyond impressed with the 2 Week Board and Train program. Our puppy was 6 months old, and we were experiencing all of the typical puppy issues (nipping, pulling on the leash, counter surfing, stealing clean laundry, digging, etc.). Rick and Christina were great to work with. They listened to our objectives, and did a great job with Magee. The transfer of knowledge session was very helpful. Rick allowed it to be a family affair, and helped our children learn the proper way to hold the leash, give commands and teach them the homework Magee needed to continue to work on. The tools Rick provides as part of the program are easy to use and explained thoroughly. We try to take Magee with us as much as we can, and I know the Board and Train Program is the reason why he is so well behaved. It definitely takes everyone in the house to keep the program going, and we are glad to keep it up because we love the changes we saw from day 1. Thank you Barking Zone for making a great program!

We sent our rescue dog Roscoe. He was so well behaved, when we added another puppy to our family, Stella had to go to training too!

5/5

We love that the Barking Zone is at our vet’s facility who we trust very much! Riley had a great first day and came home absolutely pooped, which was great as she has been full of energy cooped up from the cold weather. Also, after trying multiple daycares around town, she came back decidedly more clean from the BZ thanks to the turf! We’ll definitely be regulars from now on.
