🩺 More than boarding — it’s peace of mind.

At B.A.R.K. Institute, we specialize in medical boarding for dogs who need a little extra care. Whether it’s:
✅ Diabetes
✅ Seizures
✅ Fluid therapy
✅ Senior care
…your dog is in the hands of trained veterinary technicians who know exactly what to do.

We’re not just a place to stay — we’re a place to heal, rest, and be safely supported.

Dog Safety with Kids Starts with Education — Not Discipline.
Safe interactions aren’t just about telling dogs “no” — they’re about teaching everyone (especially kids!) how to respect boundaries, read body language, and build trust.

✅ Supervision is key
✅ Gentle handling matters
✅ Stress signals should never be ignored

Every positive moment between your dog and your child starts with thoughtful guidance.

💬 Comment “SAFE” and we’ll send you our Dog + Kid Safety Guide with practical tips you can start using today.

Monday reminder -

🧠 We don’t just train obedience — we train state of mind.

Because just teaching sit, stay, and come isn’t enough.
Obedience commands won’t fix anxiety, reactivity, or impulse control — not for the long run.

What truly changes your dog’s behavior?
✅ Calm confidence under stress
✅ Clear expectations and boundaries
✅ A regulated nervous system and strong relationship

We train the mindset, not just the motion.
And that’s where the magic happens.

💬 Comment “MINDSET” if you’re ready to go beyond basic obedience.

🐾 Reactivity isn’t disobedience.
It’s not stubbornness. It’s not your dog being “bad.”
It’s a stress response — and it can absolutely be changed with the right training and support.

Your dog isn’t broken.
They’re just overwhelmed.

🧠 We focus on changing your dog’s state of mind, not just forcing obedience.

💬 Comment “REACTIVE” and we’ll send you our Reactivity Checklist to help you get started.

📌 And remember — reactivity isn’t forever. With structure, consistency, and trust, we almost always see major transformations.

You know how scrolling gives you a brain break?
That’s what a walk does for your dog.

Sniffing, moving, exploring — it’s how they decompress, reset, and feel good in their body. But too many people skip the walk because it’s stressful. Pulling, barking, reacting… we get it. It’s not fun when your arm is the one getting a workout.

💡 That’s where we come in. At B.A.R.K. Institute, we teach leash skills that make walks peaceful—for both ends of the leash.

📱➡️🐕‍🦺
Put down the phone, grab the leash, and take 10 minutes to reconnect—with nature and your dog.
They deserve it. You might need it too.

📍Ready to fix your walks? DM us or check out our training programs.
