In our On-Leash Program, your dog will learn the basic commands (Sit, Down, Come, Heel and Free) as well as the two most important words to a dog. These words are “Good” and “No.” In addition to the general obedience commands, we can customize the program to deal with other behavioral issues. After completing On-Leash Obedience at Bark Avenue, you will have control of your dog in the types of situations where good behavior is required. On-Leash Obedience is designed to set your dog up for Off-Leash Obedience. For your convenience, daycare is included on training days.
Off-LeashObedience Program
Off-leash obedience is designed to teach your dog that it should be obedient regardless of distractions. While we do not recommend you allow your dog off-leash where it is not allowed, we know there are situations in which off-leash obedience is important. Imagine being able to call your dog back from a wild game of chase at doggie park without having to chase him/her around yourself. More seriously, leashes and collars can break. Strong off-leash obedience may save your dog's life in these situations. This program also includes free follow-up group classes for as long as you own your dog. Our on-leash program is a prerequisite for this program. For your convenience, daycare is included on training days.
Lifetime Obedience Classes
If your dog completes both our On-Leash and Off-Leash and you will be qualified to take part in our free "Lifetime" follow-up classes. This class is held Friday nights from 7–8 p.m. You can attend these classes for as long as you own your dog.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are available at a rate of $55.00 per half hour at
Bark Avenue and $110.00 per half hour in your home (limited availability and price may vary depending on your location).

“We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful training and care you have given Chloe. She is much more obedient and calmer than she was...a VERY good thing! You all have taken her in as one of your very own and we always feel so comfortable leaving her in your care. She absolutely LOVES being at Bark Avenue—thank you for making this seem so seamless to a new dog owner!”
