Testimonials

Mary and Ally are simply the best!! They are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care for you and your dog. They taught me just as much, if not more than my dogs. I just love them and so do my dogs!!
– Mary

We found Bark and Soul a year ago and thank goodness we did. At the time we had a very reactive, anxious dog with guarding behavior. His mental state was not in a good place and we were worried we’d have to rehome him. We reached out to Mary and I am proud to say that he is living his best life and has become a different dog. Everyone we see comments on how great he is doing with his training and how well behaved he is! Mary has been wonderful throughout the whole process, her calm reassurance and guidance along the way has helped us learn how to be the best dog parents and learn how to communicate with our dog. When we go away the only people/place we trust is Bark and Soul for boarding. He loves it there and everyone loves him and treats him like family.
– Client

We had a fantastic experience with Bark and Soul Dog Training. From day one, Mary and the trainers were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took the time to understand our Rocky’s unique personality and challenges, and customized the training to fit our needs perfectly. We’ve seen such a positive transformation. The ongoing support and encouragement made all the difference. Highly recommend Bark and Soul to anyone looking for compassionate, effective training that truly strengthens the bond between you and your dog! So grateful to have found them. Rocky still gets so excited when I drop him off!
