At Dunmore Barks, we bark with the dogs and cheer on the humans.
We're committed to enhancing the dog-human relationship through our unique programs rooted in canine education, enrichment, and adventure.
EDUCATION
Whether you prefer one-on-one lessons, wish to connect with fellow dog-lovers in a group setting, or need a seasoned trainer to do the heavy-lift on the training front; we've got something for every learner.
We're here to provide customized support for you and your canine companion - for life.
ENRICHMENT
Enrichment is a crucial component of canine care. It provides mental, physical, and social stimulation, prevents boredom, reduces stress, and encourages natural behaviors. An effective enrichment
regime can result in a happier, healthier dog with fewer behavioral problems.
Together, we'll unlock your dog's superpower and enhance the world around them.
ADVENTURE
Let's unleash a world of adventure and exploration for your pup! We offer on- and off-leash programs that get dogs out in nature to stimulate their minds and bodies, all while practicing manners and life skills.
Stick-fetching, grass-rolling, bug-chasing, creek-splashing...
your dog's next adventure awaits!

Puppy Classes
This 5-week course focuses on building your puppy's foundational skills and a communication system that you can rely on for life.

This course even introduces some fan-favorite enrichment items and activities for a well-rounded pup.
Available for pups 10 weeks - 6 months old.
5-week course: $200
Training + Enrichment
Assessments
Training and enrichment assessments are a great way to get to know us. We'll do a bit of troubleshooting, identify gaps, explore enrichment opportunities, and provide some immediate solutions for you to begin implementing at home. We'll make a recommendation for continued learning, but this is a great first step on your training journey!
60min: $100
Private Lessons
Customized support for where you need it most! We'll help you reach your training goals in a learning style that best supports you and your dog.
Lesson packages are best suited for owners committed to doing the homework to get results (don't worry - your canine coach will offer guidance and support every step of the way).
Lessons run for 45-60 minutes each, and are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. All lessons are held at the Dunmore Barks studio. Alternate lesson locations may be considered on a case-by-case basis at the trainer's discretion.
Packages of 3, 5, and 7 are available to fit your training needs. Each package includes lesson follow-ups and training resources for continued at-home skill-building.
3-pack: $285 | 5-pack: $450 | 7-pack: $595
Gym Sessions
While dog parks and playgroups are ideal for social and outgoing dogs, they can be stressful for those who are more reserved. A Private Gym Session for you and your pup offers playtime without pressure! Enjoy some one-on-one time with your pup without worry of inclement weather or negative dog-dog interactions. Each session includes the use of our toys and equipment in a well-lit, climate-controlled play space. Available for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sociability types.
30min: $20
*Up to 3 dogs from the same household are permitted
Need a little guidance as you explore new exercise and enrichment opportunities for your pup?
A Trainer-Led Gym Session includes access to training, agility, and balance equipment and toys, as well as one-on-one time with a trainer. We will work alongside you and your dog during playtime to help create a fulfilling and memorable adventure or your dog!
30min: $35
Have some errands to run? Feeling like there's not enough time in the day for your dog's walk or playtime? Book a Drop-Off Gym Session with an experienced trainer! We'll prioritize age-appropriate fun and fulfillment, as well as light training topics. You're sure to have a tuckered out pup upon your return!
30min: $35 | 60min: $45

Day School
You want a well-behaved dog, but finding the time, motivation, and support to train them can be tough. Not all owners love a group setting, and private lessons aren’t for every person or dog when it comes to true behavior change.
That’s where Day School comes in!
Monday through Thursday, you drop your dog off at Dunmore Barks in the morning, we do the heavy lift on the training front, and you pick up a calmer, smarter, and tuckered-out companion in the late afternoon. Think of it like a board & train program -- without the overnights!
Morning drop-off window:
8:30-9:30 AM
Afternoon pick-up window:
3:30-4:30 PM
You’ll receive daily photo and video updates of your pup, and a report card highlighting your dog’s training progression. You’ll also get some homework and care instructions to follow each evening, as your dog’s success must involve YOU!
Each program also includes a graduation lesson (plus additional follow-up lessons / training outings for multi-week programs) where skills are transferred from trainer to owner.
Whether you’re in the thick of puppyhood, fine-tuning manners in a teen or adult dog, or struggling with some more significant behavioral challenges, Day School offers the personalization and consistency needed to create lasting behavior change.
1-week puppy program | $600
For puppies ages 12 weeks - 7 months

All Day School candidates must be screened prior to enrollment to ensure the program is the right fit for their needs and temperament.
Structured Nature Walks
+ Field Trips
Busy day at work? Feeling under the weather? Looking for more than a standard dog walker to satisfy your dog's needs, but not interested in doggie daycare? We've got ya covered.
Allow our team to take your pup on a local nature walk! We'll get your dog's mind and body moving through structured training time and extended exploration, with a focus on leashwork and clear release cues.
Or, opt for a field trip for extra skill-building around distractions. We'll head to coffee shops, breweries, craft and hardware stores, parks, and more to build confidence and neutrality for a well-rounded pup. Field trips are an excellent way to support puppy socialization or to conduct training in real-world settings under the guidance of a pet professional.
Nature Walks and Field Trips include pick-up and drop-off from your home, and photo/video updates from the trip. Both are completed rain or shine.
45min: $45 | 60min: $55
*Timeframes include pick-up and drop-off
