Puppy Class Testimonial!

Mitzi was my first puppy. When I got her I was starting from scratch. Not only did I not know anything about puppies, but I am a pediatric nurse and wanted to treat Mitzi like a baby. (A human baby!) Thank goodness I found Barkz! We enrolled in the Puppy Kindergarten class where Maria, our instructor, gave us the guidance and tools to successfully teach Mitzi basic commands, and help her develop healthy socialization skills. She also helped me understand puppy behaviors which made a big difference in my approach to ‘puppy parenting.’ She was great! I am pretty certain that without Maria I would have a spoiled, coddled and probably demanding little pup, but instead, at age 6 ½ months, I have a delightful little pup who will sit and stay in one spot while I go out and get the mail… with the door open.

We always look forward to going to play groups. It’s fascinating to watch how puppies learn to play. I really appreciate the high standards Barkz has and knowing that Mitzi is in a very clean and safe environment. The staff is really wonderful, and the people I’ve met are friendly. It’s been fun!

Many thanks!
