Thank you guys times a million!
I HIGHLY recommend them for your dogs training needs. You would be surprised how many facilities completely turned Cowboy away as a lost cause- before even MEETING him!
He has come an extremely long way all because Tiffani saw he wasn't a bad dog. Just a nervous one. That’s priceless to me.
Thank you so much to everyone at barkerhaus! You can tell they genuinely love these animals!🤍🐾🦮

I had four of my dogs trained here :) three goldendoodles and a standard poodle. I have the most well behaved, perfect dogs because of them. I also board them often when we go out of town, My oldest dog sketch gets excited when we arrive to barkerhaus. :) that should say everything. Highly recommend.

I hardly know where to start. My dog was a stubborn ole man. Taking him on walks was a nightmare. He yanked at the leash, pulled me off my feet, aggressively barked and lunged toward others. It was awful and we never went out.
I decided to go the Barker Haus and ask if they could help me. Celeste was my dog’s trainer and the results have been unbelievable!
Celeste started with the absolute basics and was kind and gentle with both of us, but goodness did we learn. I discovered what I was doing wrong and think now, I also am much better trained :)
My dog and I can walk side by side with a loose leash. He can ignore other dogs or politely sniff and greet. He doesn’t lunge or act aggressive towards others. It’s nothing short of a miracle.
My only wish is I would’ve found Barker Haus and Celeste sooner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
