  The absolute best experience

  Hands down Opportunity Barks saved my relationship with my dog and my wife. We were having a hard time adjusting to life with a new, demanding and strong willed puppy. Thanks to opportunity barks we now have a well adjusted dog and a healthy coexistence with our furry friend. The settle technique is an invaluable skill and tool in helping your dog calm and enter a headspace where he can learn, not fight and react to every trigger around him. We got our puppy at the height of the pandemic and attended countless puppy socials and foundations class with zero concern for health and safety. Class sizes were small and we had plenty of space to social distance. In fact the only disappointment was one of us having to miss out on the adorable puppy play when only one dog parent was allowed in the puppy socials.
  I would recommend using OP Barks to anyone in need of puppy/dog training. They are kind, caring and supportive trainers who go above and beyond what you pay for.

  Great Trainers, great programs!

  I've done classes, clinics, and farm dog with my little mutt and it's been fantastic! OpBarks has been helpful and answered my questions. They really helped me understand my dog better. We'll be back for B2 fun classes soon!

  Would NOT Recommend

  My 5 month old, 20 lb, Miniature Australian Shepard, “Bowie”, was enrolled in the Puppy Foundations class this summer after a 6 week waitlist. I was concerned due to COVID-19, but decided we would give it a try to see if things felt safe. Bowie was excited when first coming into class (in a manner that I deem extremely appropriate for a 5 month old high-energy puppy ie: pulling on the leash to play with the other dogs). Immediately, Bowie was tightly squeezed and restricted by the instructor in such a way that I deemed extremely unnecessary and aggressive, until he yelped in fear and discomfort in a way I had not seen before and haven’t since. This “technique” did not help me feel confident in the instructor or classes and additionally did not align with the “positive reinforcement” style of training that OPBark claims they operate under. Not only was I displeased with instruction, but I became uncomfortable with the lack of social distancing inside. The instructor had us walk in a circle closer then 6 feet with other participants, indoors. Finally, class ended a solid 10 minutes early. Despite our extremely poor experience and in the midst of a global pandemic occurring, we were denied a refund. I warn anyone against taking classes here. However, we did have a wonderful experience with classes at Unleashed Training at the Pant Dog Center. I would recommend choosing Unleashed Training instead if you want a more positive-reinforcement based, COVID-19 safe experience.
