Pet boarding/training in Berkeley

“Great daycare facility for dogs. My dog Ollie loves going to The Barkmont. The staff are great. They are friendly and truly love dogs. I am only comfortable leaving him with The Barkmont family when I need to have daycare for Ollie. Cannot recommend this facility enough. 10 stars - if that was an option.“

“Love taking Rally classes here. Great for my pup to use her mind, and really nice way to boost our human-dog relationship“

“Training with Mike has completely changed our lives with our GSD. We used to dread walks because of our GSD's frustrated greeter issues and excessive leash pulling, but the 1-on-1 training sessions turned everything around. We learned how to incorporate tools like the e-collar and prong collar correctly and humanely as part of a balanced training program.

I really appreciated the direct, no-nonsense communication style. He gives you the facts and the fixes without sugarcoating, which is exactly what we needed. We now have a dog that we can trust off-leash even in distracting environments. The best testament to the training was seeing our GSD maintain his recall and stay by our side, even when the other dogs he was hanging out with ignored their owners and ran off to cause chaos. If you want real-world results and a trainer who tells it like it is, I highly recommend Mike.“
