Prior to my pup staying with Bark Ave. I was looking around at different places to board her on the…read moreday/night of my wedding. I've heard nothing but good things about Bark Ave. so I had my now husband reach out to them. Chloe (my pup) received a package in the mail from them with puppy treats, a toy, and other miscellaneous items. I knew from their interest in her that we had to board her there for the night. Fast forward to July 22, I was super worried about how she would be in a new environment since she is a puppy and she gets anxiety around new people and not being by/with her "mom". That night I received a report card with a cute little picture of her and it had no negatives about her; she even made friends with two other pups- Annie and Tator! When we picked her up she was super happy and the staff working enjoyed playing with her. We paid a little extra so she could have 1:1 play time and be let out more often since we are working on potty training. In all, I definitely recommend this place and I will reach out to them again if we ever need to board Chloe overnight for whatever reason.

Mike and his team are extremely professional and exceptional at what they do. Moose had issues with everything from digging and biting to pulling on the leash and difficulties with kennel training. Within two weeks with their board and train program, moose was a new dog. He was just as lovey as he was before, but now a great listener as well. Mike and his team helped us learn how to communicate with Moose. If I could give this company 20 stars, I would. I trust Mike with Moose, and I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to train their dog. Don't hesitate.. book with All Dogs Unleashed!!

The information relayed to us in the training has been an amazing help with all of our dogs. We had some barking issues, jumping, walking on leashes and just learning how to manage three dogs. Deb was incredibly kind and helped us learn the proper techniques to work with our dogs. The Bark Buster training methods allow us to better understand our pets and how to work with them individually and as group. We would recommend Deb to anyone with a dog. We are still working on our manners but we have certainly come along ways thanks to Bark Busters and Deb. Deb also does an awesome job posting helpful information on her Facebook site. If you are serious about working with your pet, Bark Busters is the training for you.
