Check out the adorable ears on puppy graduate Bea! When our pups attend the final class in puppy school they get a professional photo taken that they get to keep forever and we are obsessed over Bea’s one!

Calling on summer puppies! We have recently launched our puppy classes which will be running on Sundays at Barkley Manor. First class is Jan 14th. We already are heavily booked and only have a few spots left so get in quick. Our puppy course is focused on positive socialisation, vital basic obedience and lots of information on toileting, mouthing and many other puppy raising topics. Book online through the link in our bio.

A Brand New refined manners class is launching in the new year. The course has been refreshed with a stronger focus on lifestyle skills (aka become a good cafe, family bbq pup), a strong focus on leash manners and teaching the owners how to handle an incoming stranger dog approaching. We also go over co operative care and ways to make vet trips more enjoyable for the pup. This course is fast paced, challenging for your pups brain and highly informative. We can’t wait to see you there! Book in through the link in our bio.

Start the new year with a pup who can come along to more of the fun family plans! We are launching our older dog basic manners class on Sundays back at Barkley Manor, with our first round beginning 14th Jan. A course focused on walking nicely on lead, coming when called and over all becoming the su-paw-star we know they can be! Enrol through the link in our bio.

So excited to launch some new spaces available on Mondays and Wednesdays for pups to come out and enjoy our private doggy farm daycare. Small numbers and lots of handlers, your dogs enjoy a day of romping about with mates in the grass, under shady trees, in paddling pools and climbing over fun obstacles like Neville here! We pick up and return them home so it takes all the tricky balancing of time out of your hands. Email us at [email protected] to arrange an assessment day and nab one of these exclusive spots!

Coco is one of our Monday daycare dogs and also boards with us whenever her family go on holiday. We would like to think she’s starting with adoration at us in this photo but it’s more likely she is trying to convince doggy handler Sophie to share her snack with her 😂

Who here is a Labrador who is convinced they are starving all the time?

Two beautiful girls available for adoption 😍 Excellent with other dogs, these two are very tiny chihuahuas though so would suit homes with other calm/gentle dog/s. They’re very friendly, one more confident than the other, who takes a bit longer to warm up to strangers. Can be homed together or separately. Crate trained. 2-4yrs. Please send a pm if you would like more information 🐾

💔💔💔

1 year ago we bid a heartbreaking farewell to our leader, mentor and very good friend. Krista was inspirational, driven, brilliant and one of the funniest people on earth. Our team has been a ship without its captain, a plane without a pilot but the ethos and soul she instilled within us has enabled us to continue to make Barkley the most loving, fun place for your “kids” to be. We honour her every day by continuing her vision and honouring the heart of a dog.

“Come a little bit closer, let me whisper in your ear”

Play time with the daycare and boarding dogs always means hilarious photos to be taken.

The dogs apparently share the same attitude about Monday as we do 😂

Exciting Alert - we have opened up a few new spaces for a couple small breed dogs for daycare on Tues and Weds. Please get in touch if this might be your little one!

Congratulations to the awesome puppy class who all graduated today. Mika the Japanese Akita from came first in her puppy class, second was Boston the mastiff x, third was Reginald the Saluki from then most improved award went to Max the Labradoodle. Bailey the English Springer spaniel and Bella the Australian Shepherd also passed with flying colours. Thanks so much for attending class!

We would like to extend our offer of dog boarding for those affected by the recent weather events, to those who are heading out of Auckland to help with the clean up in other affected areas. If you’re offering your time to help those that need it & need your dog/s cared for while you do so, we are happy to have them stay free of charge. We are only set up to take dog friendly & crate trained dogs (our property was affected by flooding). Please send us a PM or email [email protected]

Thanks to Kim @ K9 Cadets for the idea 🥰
