Pet boarding/training near Cicero

“Highly recommend Barks & Rec! The staff is always professional, friendly, and clearly cares so much about the dogs. Their well-being and happiness are truly the top priority. The facility is clean and well maintained, which gives great peace of mind. The enrichment room is also an awesome add-on and a fun bonus for the pups!“

“Shaye and Zelda had a great time. Thank you so much for taking us with such short notice. I would definitely recommend.“

“We rescued our boy Rizza as a puppy and as he got older he started to become reactive and we did not know how to control it. Walks were not fun, we felt like we could not take him anywhere. We did some basic trainings and he had some basic commands down, but once he was fixated on something he could not be redirected. We came to off leash k-9 in hopes that we could gain more control and confidence with Rizza and our whole outlook has completely changed for the better! Turns out Rizza is not reactive, he/we just needed the tools for success! Cas was our trainer and she gave us all the confidence and strength we needed! I would recommend her to anyone who needs the training skills to better their relationship with their dog. 100/10 ? Now we get to explore and experience all the adventures with Rizza by our side!“

“Ive taken my 5 month old puppy here 2x for half day daycare sessions. He has come away exhausted and generally better behaved. Very happy with the care he's receiving there and will continue to do 1/2 and future full day sessions for socialization and learning dog mannerisms.

Additionally theyve left me with a level of comfort that I'd board him there when necessary in the future and do grooming. The owner/manager (I think that's who I was spesking) has an excellent level of calm, professionalism and expertise that provided me a high level of ease that my dog is in great hands while there.“

“Just had my 1st lesson with Eva yesterday morning. My dog Jason can get overstimulated in new environments at times , and Eva handled him so well. The lesson itself was super informative and fun. Eva is an amazing trainer and Jason cannot wait to go back for his 2nd lesson !“

“Kind caring gentle staff they took great care with Alpha on his final journey red road home“
