Barkology The Science of Dog Training

The more crate time up front with ANY new dog or puppy leads to more freedom later on.

We have rescue puppies available for adoption! 💗🐾💗🐾💗🐾💗🐾 Meet Max, Daisy, Chloe, and Ginger, rescue littermates who are large mix-breed dogs seeking new families. These puppies are ready for adoption, having been rescued by a generous individual who funded their spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and completion of Barkology's puppy training program. Notably, they have received shots, been fixed, and trained. Each puppy is knowledgeable in sitting, lying down, placing, and walking on a leash. We are currently working on refining their skills in not mouthing, not jumping, and recall. Additionally, they are crate-trained and reliably use a doggie door to go outside for potty breaks. Max, Daisy, Chloe, and Ginger are extremely affectionate, vocal, and love to talk, with Max and Daisy being the most vocal. If you are interested in learning more about each puppy's personality and determining whether your family's home and lifestyle are an ideal fit, we would be delighted to set up a meet and greet.
Please feel free to contact us for more information!! 🐾💗🐾💗🐾💗

Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog “enjoying” some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white “pure” look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn’t bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Barkology gets another 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review!!!!
Thank you David and Penny!!
Brandy was very rewarding to work with its dogs like her that fuel my desire to do what I do!! 🐾❤️

I cannot recommend Pennie enough for dog training. She is amazing! We got an 8 week old German Shepherd puppy (Brandy) that had never been socialized. She was scared of everything & everyone. We had hired a at home trainer to help us with her but only got the basics of obedience training done. That’s when we decided to hire someone who would do in board training with Brandy. What Pennie accomplished with Brandy is nothing short of a miracle. Before Brandy was an out of control pup that our other two dogs could not tolerate. Scared of anything that she had & had not seen before, including a pair of shoes, of all things! Now she is the most well behaved dog. She is calm now & is still a little leery of new people at first but after a couple of minutes she has warmed up to them. Before the training she would have run & hid. Pennie is a very caring person who loves our pets as much as we do. She worked slowly with Brandy to earn her trust & was always very patient with her. We could not be happier with the results. Brandy is now the dog we wanted her to be. If you have a dog that needs training go to Pennie.

Another 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review!!!
Thank you Cheryl for the kind words !

I would have loved to have added all five of the choices but was only able to pick three. Trainer Pennie was very informative when I called about taking my dachshund puppy for three weeks training. Immediately she set me at ease about her abilities to handle my very stubborn puppy. Penny came to my house to pick up my puppy and to see the environment my dog will be living in. We talked and she explained what and how she would be working on and if I had anything else I needed. Penny sent pictures and updates on the progress of Sailors abilities. I was so excited when she brought her home to me. It was truly unbelievable what she got accomplished in three weeks. We went over everything Sailor was taught and how to keep up with what she has learned.
Penny has trained dogs for 40 yrs. my dog came home behaving perfectly and she is only 6 months old. The icing on the cake are the movies and the still pictures she sent to us. Penny is a true dog whisper and Artist. I believe that anyone that brings their dog to her will be very happy!!

****Update! ****
Luna found the perfect family to give her all the time love patience and attention she will need.
Perfect match!!
Congrats on your new forever home Luna!!

Meet Luna, a Mini Goldendoodle born on October 15th, 2023. Unfortunately, her family has made the tough decision to rehome her due to their lifestyle not allowing them to provide the attention and care she needs. In her best interest, she is up for adoption.

Luna recently completed two weeks of a three-week boarding program with Barkology Dog Training and showed great potential in learning quickly and loving every moment of it! It's recommended that her new owners continue her training and complete the program if possible.

If you have any questions or would like more information about adopting this sweet pup please message us!

Meet Lulu, Luna, and Waffle - the three stooges! Let's have some fun guessing who's name belongs to who.

The three puppies are here for our basic puppy foundation program and have become fast friends during their socialization and enrichment time, which is so important for building good dog-on-dog skills...and napping!
