I recently took the Intro to Rally class at The Barking Lot, and while I appreciated the chance to learn, there were significant challenges. The transition over 3 classes to a full 12-sign rally course in the fourth (final) session felt abrupt and unsupported. Additionally, a reactive dog and poor management on the part of the handler and instructor made for a stressful learning environment, particularly at the last session.
Recently completed Canine Good Citizen with Noelle Nasca. Absolutely excellent experience!!! She is definitely the “Dog Whisperer”…
Noelle is absolutely wonderful. We recently did a training class with her for our 11 month old golden retriever and she had a lot of useful tips. He looks at her like she is god and listens so well to her. We were having an issue with him a couple of days following the training and she actually offered to come to our home and train here! How wonderful of her. We are so appreciative of her services. Our guy also attends daycare at The Barking Lot and I know I can trust them there. They make sure every dog is safe and having fun while doing so. Catherine is also wonderful- we did a leash training class with her for 2 Sundays and we saw an immediate difference in our dog. These ladies KNOW what they’re talking about- DO NOT hesitate to send your dog here whether it be for training or daycare or both! You won’t regret it!!!! Thank you so much everyone! You guys are so nice and we will be a long time customer!!!
Noelle is a phenomenal trainer! When I got my Golden Retriever puppy over a year ago, I knew I had to enroll her in Noelles Puppy 101 class. She set up my girl for success from the jump. I cannot thank Noelle enough for the wonderful foundation she created for Winter! If my work schedule didnt change, Win would still be in daycare at the Barking Lot.Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!❤️
Love Amy - she is amazing with our pups. Noelle Nasca trained my Weim years ago.EXCELLANT - grooming/training.
Doesnt get any better. Expert staff that will take care of your dog like their own. Real professionals and real dog people. They love what they do.
Our dog loves The Barking Lot. Their staff is friendly and attentive to keep dogs safe while getting needed exercise & play. Hours are good for me! Very professional company.
Noelle is such an amazing trainer. Used her for all 3 of my dogs. One of which became a certified search and rescue K9. Shes worth every penny! ❤️
Great, fast and effective training 1:1 with our Golden and the owner Noelle. She gives great and immediately applicable tips for leash pulling, and getting our dog to jump into the back of the SUV. Were considering switching to day care but havent used their services yet for that. Will add to the review when we do.
We love the barking lot! Day care is amazing, and tires our girl out so that she is calm and behaves better at home. The classes are fun, and Noelle and Kim are the best trainers in town and have really fun seminars too. Highly recommended!
Solar the husky puppy is super pumped to come to The Barking Lot in the morning. She is completely exhausted and happy when she comes home! The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. Solar the husky puppy likes to play in the pool and likes all the other dogs to chase her around. All the dogs are so well behaved and we couldnt be happier we found this place! Great Job Noelle.
Was excited to get my pup signed up for an interview to potentially start daycare. Paid for required testing ($46) at vet and stopped in to fill out paperwork as requested and never heard back.
What a great find in Hamburg! Our 12 week old English Springer, Nellie, is having the time of her life there! Just check out The Barking Lot on FB to see her in the puppy videos! We are so happy to know Nellie is so well cared for and showered with Springer Kisses while we are at work! Thank you Noelle and crew!
I love this place. Great trainers. And my dogs love it too. Keep up the great work. I cant wait til our next class.
Manners & More classes were very helpful in training my 2 yr old rescued Shih Tzu mix. I wholeheartedly recommend!
Noelle was awesome! Thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate it!
The staff greet every dog as if it were their own. Very friendly place!
Enrolled in puppy 101 training- its great and a lot of fun!
I have taken several group training classes with my dog and the instructors are top notch. The manners and more class is a necessity for all dog owners!
Noelle is a wonderful trainer. She listened to me and showed me how to correct my pups behavior. She made me feel confident! I saw such a instant improvement with how to handle my dog that is reactive to other dogs. It was helpful. I did not feel judged. Her approach was very compassionate. She told me how to improve what I do and what to stop doing even told me what I was doimg right. She is very encouraging and her attitude is so cheerful. She is very honest and helpful. I love it here! Only my 1st visit but it was very insightful. I did not know what to expect at all. But just my 1st visit I learned alot but not where it was overwhelming. She did not push a 2nd visit but I will be coming back after a few weeks to see how I do with what she taught me. This visit exceeded my expectations.
Great place for daycare .could use a couple more industrial fans thou. Can get pretty hot in there.
From training to daycare, this is the best place around! I am so thankful for Noelle and her team and the way they care for my precious pup.
One word. AMAZING.
Attended training here. The trainer was superb, she knows her stuff. Really helped me with my dog. Planning on taking more classes.
Very nice facility; large, bright, and clean!
Oliver loves coming here and playing with his friends. He is exhausted when he comes home.
Repeatedly called, never answered or responded to messages
Love it
