Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and great place for their pet!

My dog was not anxious upon entering, & she is a nervous dog. I paid for a few of the extra play times, peanut butter treats, etc. She was there for 6 days. When I picked my dog up, she was in good spirits, but was completely raw, pink raw, all around her nose & mouth. I didn't notice this until I got her home. I'm not sure how this happened. It took a few days for me to clear it up & she was in pain.

To say that we take daycare and boarding for CJ, our golden retriever mix, seriously is a major…read moreunderstatement! We arrived in Louisville just over three years ago and we tried MANY other places around town. Some were ok, some I would never take her back to, but NONE of them compare to Barks on Bauer! The first time we met the owners, Lynda and Bill, we felt immediately at ease. It's just so obvious how much they love animals! Moreover, they actually live on the second floor of the building, meaning that there's always someone on site when we leave our girl there overnight. Their space is clean, modern, and the dogs clearly love it! CJ knows the route from our house to Barks and once it's clear that's where we're heading she actually starts squeaking with anticipation and can't wait to get in the door. If there's any question that she loves it, when we come to pick her up, she runs to greet us, but then runs back to say "goodbye" to Bill before we can leave! The location itself is very convenient and the on-site parking makes drop off and pick up a breeze. There's also a peace of mind that comes with knowing that there's an animal hospital adjacent to Barks and that the two businesses have a great relationship. When it comes to cost and convenience, we've never found a better place! We've had family emergencies arise and they have been able to take CJ for a few nights with very little notice, something we still deeply appreciate. Finally, I'd be remiss not to mention how much CJ loves daycare there! After being so excited to get there, she spends a day playing and then comes home absolutely exhausted. If it's true that a tired dog is a happy dog, then we have one happy girl on Barks days! Not only that, but it really takes her a couple days to recover completely from a day of daycare. Of course, I think she gets extra excited when someone has a birthday and they have a party. Yep, that's right, dog birthday parties at dog day care. And the pictures they post online are even better than you'd imagine! We have have only had wonderful experiences with Barks on Bauer and, if it isn't obvious, we take caring for CJ pretty seriously! I absolutely recommend Barks to any dog owner who's looking for socialization, a caring team, and a wonderful experience for their dog!

My puppy Winnie has been going to Barks in Bauer for a couple of years. She mainly goes to daycare…read morebut she's stayed the night several times for long weekends. I appreciate that Bill and Lynda are crazy-dog friendly. Winnie is an 85 pound lab and mastiff mix. She is every stereotypical thing you've heard about young labs. She's very sweet and friendly - but she's also a high energy vocal spazz. She's stayed at other facilities that were clearly annoyed by her rambunctious nature - so I always appreciate that Bill and Lynda seem happy when she visits. Bill and Lynda are also neurotic-owner friendly. They reply to my check-ins quickly. As time has went on I typically only check on her once a day (which is a significant decrease) - but that just goes hand in hand with trusting that they are caring for her. Anyone who has ever loved an animal knows that it can be difficult to leave them places - but that burden is eased when you feel like they are in capable and loving hands. Barks on Bauer also provides other services such as in-home pet sitting, dog walking, baths, nail trims, and birthday parties. If your dog needs medications, they're able to give them what they need. I love that they post pictures and videos of the dogs on Facebook so you can see them playing. They're literally right behind Chenoweth Animal Hospital - which is comforting to me to know they're so close in case anything happened. From one crazy dog mama to all the others reading this - try them out!

They will take time to answer questions or talk through any concerns you may have with your pet, without making you feel like you're being rushed through the visit. They will also text or call as a follow up if there were any concerns at the appointment. For example, I had concerns about a spot on my dog's leg and they sent a couple follow up texts about a week apart to see how he was doing with the prescribed medication. Their waiting room is small and they remain busy so I also appreciate that they have you wait in your car, checking in via phone.

We have a 1.5 year old lab and she LOVES it here. We check the cameras frequently and see her running around having an absolute blast. They have different rooms for different energy levels so that the calmer dogs stay together while the others can be a rambunctious bunch (such as our lab). We've had nothing but a great experience here. We have absolutely seen dogs put in temporary time out in a crate if they're too aggressive or assertive, but it makes complete sense since there's not much else they can do!

We had an outstanding experience working with Hunter over the past six months while our…read moregoldendoodle, Gracie, completed the Complete Manners and Off-Leash program, along with a separate tricks course. From day one, Hunter made everything look easy. Gracie absolutely loved him, and it showed in how quickly she picked up new skills and behaviors. Hunter was always patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. One thing we really appreciated was how well he communicated with us--he gave clear feedback and helpful tips on how we were handling Gracie so we could keep improving her results at home. He was honest without ever being discouraging, and he always set us up for success. The use of the e-collar and leash training was handled thoughtfully and effectively, and the group meetup at Bass Pro with the other dogs in the program was a great bonus. It gave Gracie a chance to work around real-world distractions, and we were able to see how far she'd come. Overall, Hunter exceeded our expectations. Gracie is more confident, better behaved, and genuinely enjoys showing off what she's learned. We highly recommend Hunter to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and results-driven dog trainer. If you'd like, I can also rewrite it in a more emotional, humorous, shorter, or more formal tone.
