Tucker always has a great time at Barking Oaks. He is excited to walk in the door and play with his doggie friends! Staff is very welcoming!

Visited earlier this week and the facility is absolutely amazing! Your dog will be lucky to stay here.
Ashley
Enrolled my malti-poo in puppy obedience class. She has learned so much. Hansy has been such a great trainer!
Kathy
Everyone truly loves our animals. I never have to feel uneasy leaving them. They are excellent in everything they do.
Fran
I have a Shitzu who doesn't like to be groomed. Hansy and her staff have been so patient with him. After a few weeks of training with Lora, Honsy was able to groom him and he looks GREAT!
Susan
Barking Oaks is WONDERFUL....the absolute best place I've found to care for my furends; I can actually relax when I'm away instead of worrying about my boys!!
Christine
My grand-furbabies are so excited when they visit Barking Oaks. They deliver first class service to bath, care, and love them -- and me too!
Latese
Cocoa has learned so much confidence, agility stunts and basic commands! She is coming along so well!
They treat all my dogs with care and compassion and my dogs always look so handsome after their bath (and smell good!)
