Rick did an amazing job with our 1yo Great Pyrenees rescue. We got her not knowing what she already knew or needed help with and he was able to start collar training her during her stay with him based on his assessment of her basic skills. It’s been a night and day difference on how relaxed she is, how well she listens and her “manners.” We plan to do a little more work with a few sessions to reinforce things like no digging, no chewing outdoor toys, and being more gentle in playing with our 2 year old. Overall we couldn’t be more thrilled with her training and would recommend Rick to anyone looking!

Rudy, our Frenchton, did a 7-day Board and Train with Rick and it went very well. Rudy also goes to Barking Zone 2 - 3 days per week and absolutely loves it! He loves the trainers and is always well cared for while in their care.

Rick trained our Pyrenees/Aussie mix for a week. It was time and money well spent! She came home with an excellent foundation to be a happier (and more obedient) member of our family. 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 obedi
