Our AKC Star Puppy class is a fun and engaging way to start your pup on the right path. We focus on teaching important skills like sit, down, leash basics, recall, drop it, and leave it. We also help new dog owners with potty training, kennel routines, grooming, and safe puppy socialization. At the end of the course, your pup may earn an AKC Star Puppy Certificate after a brief evaluation.
AKC Intermediate Puppy Class

For pups ready to move forward, our Intermediate Class builds on the foundation by adding duration, focus, and control.

Are you a star student? Already know sit, down, and come when called? That is old news, right? If you are looking for something fun and different to keep you and your dog busy, consider joining our tricks class. This one is purely for continuing the bond with your dog and it is super fun. Adding some mental and physical stimulation to your dog’s day will help make them tired, which will make you a happy pet parent. In our Tricks for Treats class, we work towards teaching new and fun things to show off to all your friends. Who does not like to have a fancy feather in their hat? Some of the things we will learn in class include army crawl, spin in circles, shake, high five, play dead, take a bow, target training, and more. At the completion of class, students are eligible to be evaluated for their AKC Novice Trick Dog Title. CGC on file counts for half the requirements towards your first Trick title.

Testimonials

A friend of mine recommended The Barking Lot for my Boxer Dolly, to burn off some extra energy. He was so pleased with the place that I didn’t hesitate at all and scheduled a tour. I was totally impressed with this brand new facility. It was spotless! There are huge indoor and outdoor play areas. The dogs were having fun playing ball and climbing on a miniature gym set. I took Dolly in a couple days later and she came home happy and tired as heck. The staff is very professional and gave me a full verbal report of how her day went. Needless to say she had a blast and was a perfect lady. You’ll love to bring your dog here …. I promise.

Very cool doggy daycare set up! Great big indoor area to play and a turf area outside. Only a couple friends to play with so far as they’ve only been open a week but my puppies had a good time!
Lindsey Carlson
I had the pleasure of accompanying a friend to drop off her rescue foster for boarding yesterday. I was so impressed with the facility. The set up is incredible. It is family owned and the family is amazing! They are not only very knowledgeable about dog’s needs and behaviors but they are truly passionate about animals. If you are needing to board your pet or looking for a doggie daycare The Barking Lot is THE place to go.
