Melissa at The Barking Lot is amazing! She will give you the best ideas to use with your pup, answers any questions you may have and responds to emails or texts! Elroy and I love training with her and highly recommend her! Added bonus, their building is in fantastic care!

The Barking Lot is simply AMAZING! No words can express how thankful I am to have a place I can leave my pups and know they are in good hands. Melissa and staff are amazing and truly understand dogs. One of my dogs has separation anxiety and the other is a timid rescue. Melissa is amazing with dogs of all kinds with all types of personalities. Both pups get excited to go to daycare at The Barking Lot! The Barking Lot goes above and beyond, I would never take them anywhere else! And it's immaculate! Always incredibly clean! X... read more
