Testimonials

From the at-home evaluation, I knew Vince was the only trainer I could completely trust to take care of my baby for weeks, and give him the structure and love that he needed. I also felt confident that he had a great amount of experience working with his breed (pitbull). Throughout the five weeks of boarding and training, he consistently sent updates, encouraged lessons throughout so that I felt confident when he came home, and always made sure he looked his best with nail trims and frequent washes. My dog has definitely become more obedient since returning home. And even now, Vince still checks in and is available to answer any questions/concerns that I have. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Bark K9 to others.

Bark and his team were the best teachers ever! They were so patient and so informative at explaining proper training techniques. Loved the one on one training. They took the time to listen to my concerns and work with our puppy to help both of us learn how to achieve success. Ace loved going to sessions and you could tell the team loved training him. The knowledge and guidance I have received is invaluable! Ace went from a tornado of a puppy to a quiet storm.

Vincent trained three of my dogs. The training has been instrumental in keeping our house orderly. Vincent taught us many things to do to ensure the dogs retain what they’ve learned. He’s patient, calm and consistent. I would recommend Bark K9.
