On a Sunday, Sharon opened up her doors and adjusted her schedule so that she could see Dottie and that allowed us to go to Knott's Berry Farm for three hours. It was a blessing and we are so grateful. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure Dottie was comfortable and looking great. We'll definitely highly recommend your services to other pet owners!

I took my two dogs, Birdie and Minnie, to Bark Collective for two weeks. Our lives were changed…read moreforever. From the moment you walk in the door the staff is attentive, polite, and positive. During my dogs stay I received daily updates, pictures, and videos. What transpired during this time I can truly call miraculous. My overly playful, rambunctious dogs transformed. I was never able to walk them because of their pulling and my fear of tripping. I am now able to walk both dogs at once! Incredible... The sit, stay, and come when called. A.J and Hayden, the trainers, never raised their voices and focus on complementing good behavior. I never heard the word "no"! They were also very patient with me as I learned the new skills it would take to carry on this training at home. My dogs had a blast! Pack walks, hikes and pup cups. I can never fully express my amazement and gratitude for the transformation. The level of professionalism while still making this fun for the dogs was beyond anything that I could have imagined. My dogs are my world and the trainers understood that completely. I cannot recommend Bark Collective enough. It was the best thing for my dogs and for me!!!

I can attest from personal observation; Sam takes great care of her panting pooches and always has them in control. She recently purchased a small, cargo-style van to be more accommodating and, on many occasions, I've seen her break out the oversized water bowl to keep her pack well hydrated in remote parking lots. Out of care and concern when it gets warm, she'll oftentimes skip walking her pack on the asphalt and pavement at the beach and opts for grass outings at a local park instead. All said, it's no surprise to see she's been successful for 10 years.
