Hey stranger! Have you missed us? We are still around, still training dogs with science based methods but with a new name and a lot of new services.

In May 2022 we opened The Bark, Knoxville’s first dog park and beer garden. We offer daycare, grooming, and tons of new training options. It’s been a crazy ride and we’ve met so many new dogs, that we affectionately call “Bark dogs.”

This year The Bark Knoxville won Cityview’s Best of The Best doggy daycare in Knoxville. We’ve come so far in such a short amount of time but the fun and chaos has left this page quiet.

If you wanna keep up with the journey follow us over at The Bark. Pop in our adorable pet store and say hi! We’ve missed you too!

Isn’t Chili so so cute? He is going to be an extra big boy one day. He is a Swiss Mountain Dog and full grown males average 120lbs. His fearfulness towards people could easily become dangerous one day.

So he is getting started right away training up his confidence and getting in critical practice socializing. Chili’s mom is taking private lessons at our facility, The Bark, so she can learn how to guide him out of his fearful state of mind. Chili is also attending our day training program once per week where he gets to play with other dogs in our daycare groups and his trainer works with him privately on his new people greetings with all our staff available to practice with!

Being afraid of vets is such a common occurrence they have a name for it. It’s called White Coat Syndrome. Trainer Allison is out in our daycare groups today in her “white coat” to give out treats and build a positive association for all dogs that visit us at The Bark.

Dominance "training" causes stress and is a dog's worst nightmare.

Anakin is on his second day of training in our board and train program. The first week at board and train is all about forming and establishing behaviors. Next week his trainers will have him working all his skills in public to proof them around distractions and improve his impulse control. We can’t wait to see Anakin complete the program and be awarded his Bachelor of Barks!

We never want to take away your dogs sweet or quirky spirit with rough methods geared towards robotic perfection.

We want to teach you how to read your dogs cues and communicate what your needs and expectations are. That way you can communicate with your dog effectively and work through tough moments. Practice makes good dogs and it makes better dog owners. 😉

Daycare isn’t easy for every dog right off the bat. Socializing can be hard when our dogs are lacking experience or struggling with anxiety.

Day Training can be a great ease into play groups and it can also help you reach your dog training goals.

Our Day Training services at The Bark include a full day of daycare with curated groups for your dog and a one hour private lesson with one of our dog trainers. As always, your training plan is personalized to your goals and your dogs needs. You will receive a report card detailing their day with videos of your dog working and instructions and homework to go along with lesson plan.

Having confidence is so important for your dog. We want to create as many good and positive experiences as we can early on so that navigating the world isn’t a big scary obstacle.

But that isn’t always possible, when we adopt a dog who had experiences long before we ever meet them. Anxiety is so prevalent in our dog population, especially after the pandemic.

Fearful dogs need a special touch. They need patience and guidance through their fears. Ask us how to reshape your dog’s fear and create the confident dog you know they can be.

Trainer Allison is working on patio manners today with her student Kona. She using her trusty goo tube to dish our yummies without getting her hands dirty during her meal. Our goal today is to encourage a calm lay down under the table. The secret to good behavior is having a set and solid response in everyday situations.
