Our 1-year-old Australian shepherd goes to daycare once a week, and he really enjoys it! He comes home tired and not wanting to move from his bed all night. At first, he was hesitant to get out of the car in the morning, but now he is so excited to go inside and spend the day there! We also went through the puppy training class, and we had a great experience. It was great information for us to implement at home and has really helped his leash pulling and recall. I really recommend The Barking Lot for training and daycare! Th... read more

Our Jack Russell loves boarding and grooming here. They seem to take a real interest in his care and wellbeing. The obedience classes are great too.

I had the best experience at The barking lot! I dropped off my 5 year old anxious Labrador and they took time to get him used to their facility and work with him one on one. I have never left my dog with anyone, but they certainly put my mind at ease and took care of my boy.

Today I took my senior dog, Maude a 15 year year old cocker spaniel to be groomed by Helenna. Her regular groomer that works out of her home, had surgery earlier this summer and isn’t back to doing any grooming. Maude has some health concerns and her back legs are weak. They did an outstanding grooming her, they listened to my concerns and were very understanding, and compassionate. I would highly recommend The Barking Lot. We will definitely return here.

The barking lot and all of the staff there are a second home and family to my dog and my parents dog! We have been patrons of this business for over 15 years and have never had a bad experience. The staff love the dogs and cats like they were their own!

Melissa is so smart. She knows so much about training dogs, grooming dogs and socializing dogs. We started with puppy class and have since used grooming, boarding and now playtime. Everything is priced well and the facility is easy to get to, easy to park and get in and out. Hours are 7-6 which works well for working professionals. Our vet recommended The Barking Lot for puppy class for our 2 month old labrador and I'm so glad she did. Our pups are in great hands with The Barking Lot.
