The Bark Academy

"I reached out to the Bark Academy to help with my reactive dog. Melissa took the time to not only help me and my baby learn commands but she also taught me how to understand why he reacts the way he does. This deeper understanding helped to build a better respect between me and my dog. He is now more relaxed and has learned to ignore previous triggers. It was her patience and her knowledge that made all this possible. I highly recommend the Bark Academy to help with any of your doggy issues."

"I am so glad that we found The Bark Academy to help us train our two hound puppies! Melissa's calm and patient approach helped the hounds performance and my confidence. She answered so many questions and explained the reasons for the steps of positive reinforcement training. When we, the people in the class, needed to change our approach, she was very kind and constructive. I feel very excited about our classes!"

"Our experience with The Bark Academy was wonderful! Melissa is a fantastic trainer and she really takes the time to get to know you/your dog. We enjoyed going to class each week, and the obedience training was really educational for us as dog owners. We would highly recommend The Bark Academy to anyone with a pup looking to improve their obedience skills and behavior."

"Absolutely love Melissa! She is so patient and loves the animals she works with. She makes a real connection with each pet and they truly love her."

"Just had my second visit with Melissa. She is wonderful working with Jake my basset hound. He loves going there. And he is learning so much better with her help. Thank you very much."
