FirstBarkI can’t say enough about Rick and his awesome staff at BZ. They take such good care of our Labrador Retriever. She loves going to play every day and comes home worn out! I also highly recommend the board and train which Rick offers...was a game changer for our puppy!!

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

It was the best thing we could have ever done for our puppy Zeta and ourselves. I highly recommend board and train!!! This was the best investment. She's so calm! Every video we saw Rick posted of our puppy she seemed happy & very responsive. We plan on doing the off leash board training In the future.
We now have a fun, well behaved, sweet puppy back home. Rick was fantastic with our puppy and truly cares about the animals. I highly recommend him! Thank you to The Barking Zone!!!

AMAZING! That's how I feel about the transformation in our sweet Dexter. I brought Rick a loving puppy with tons of energy that was driving his 11 year old doggie sister crazy. He might have been a little frustrating for us too! Today, I brought home a loving, polite puppy that is so eager to please us. We celebrated his arrival at home and practiced all that Dexter had learned. He completed every task like a champ! Sunshine doesn't have to run and hide from Dexter anymore. She is a happy camper! I have tried several different training sessions with other dogs and there is absolutely no comparison to what Rick was able to accomplish with Dexter. THANK YOU!
Rick is an incredible trainer!! He has helped us so much with Rhea. He not only helped Rhea but he trained us as well. No matter the issues that you are having with your pet Rick is the person that can help. He truly cares about the animals and the humans!!! Great job Rick and thanks so much. You are awesome too Lisa!!
