Customer Reviews

I’d been researching dog training for some time when I came across The Barking Zone. Most training was for two weeks or longer and a bit more than I wanted to gamble on. Our Black Lab “Buddy” was out of control at home. Jumping on people, always in a rush, not minding commands at all. The difference after one week is incredible. A much calmer, disciplined dog he is! Thank you Rick

I don’t know what we were thinking when we adopted two puppies from the same litter, who both grew to be over 50 pounds. I was heartbroken over the loss of my beloved Pepper who hardly needed any training and was the best angel dog. Anyway, fast forward to 59# Lulu and her 63# brother Levi, who had gotten beyond our control with barking, jumping, chewing, and separation anxiety. We knew from boarding our daughter’s dog with Rick at Barking Zone 4+ years ago that it was going to be the best solution for these siblings. At 15 months old, we knew it was the optimal time for them to take the remote collar board and train party. Sooner might have been better, but we were able to combine their boarding with our vacation. Rick and his head trainer posted daily updates on instagram and Facebook so we could see their progress. When we got home, these dogs were obedient and so much calmer, still remaining loving and sweet. Some people worry that prong and education collar training will crush a dog’s spirit, but don’t – Rick and crew know what they are doing! Lulu and Levi are happy and healthy, loving as always, and we are continuing to reinforce what they learned to keep them calm and obedient. We highly recommend The Barking Zone! Thanks Rick!!
