No Barking Back, LLC is a small, family-run dog training business based in Graham, North Carolina, where dogs are treated like family members rather than being confined to kennels. The business offers personalized training and boarding services in a home environment, with owner Reaba and trainer Michael providing hands-on, constant attention to each dog throughout the day—unlike facilities that spend less than an hour daily with each pet. Services include puppy obedience, basic and advanced obedience (including off-leash control), behavior modification, and board-and-train programs. They also offer in-home consultations, nail trimming, bathing, and pet transportation. Their training philosophy emphasizes consistency, owner education, and building a strong bond between dog and handler. They accept only a few dogs at a time to ensure individualized care and do not use large kennel facilities. They also partner with Spirit Canine Rescue for rehoming needs.

The business specializes in addressing common behavioral issues such as biting, barking, jumping, separation anxiety, and leash pulling, with programs tailored to each dog’s needs. Training is conducted at their facility, and owners are included in the process to ensure long-term success. They also provide boarding services that integrate dogs into their home life, complete with daily walks and access to a 2-acre fenced yard.

Reaba has over 20 years of experience, and Michael has over 14 years of professional canine handling experience, including narcotics, EOD, and patrol work. Their approach combines patience, repetition, and context-based learning, rejecting the notion of “bad dogs” and instead focusing on owner responsibility and proper training techniques.
