Board and Train

About our Board and train

We have paired with The Pawms Pet Resort in Tuscaloosa to offer a 2 week board and train program. Our program is designed to focus on teaching preselected obedience skills to your dog over their 2 week stay with The Pawms. Your dog will stay at The Pawms Pet Resort and attend 5 one on one training sessions per week with one of our BARK University trainers with the option to join in on The Pawms daycare program. Skills will be continuously reinforeced throughout the day as they interact with boarding and daycare staff.

You will recieve updated emails and videos everyday your dog has attends a training session to keep you informed on your dog’s progress. On pick up day, you will attend a 45 minute transfer session where one of our trainers will teach you all of the skills your dog has learned during their stay as well as homework to focus on and some recommendations on continuing education for you and your pup. You will also recieve a credit for one private training session* to help you transition all of your dog’s new skills to your home and to follow up with any questions you may have.

*Private training session will be done by zoom if your location is >10 miles from The Pawms Pet Resort in Tuscaloosa

Phone Consultation

First, you must schedule a free phone consultation where one of our trainers can review what your goals and expectations are for your dog’s board and train to assure our program is a good fit for you and your dog.

Once you have completed your phone consultation with us, BARK University will email over a link to set up your dog’s boarding profile over at The Pawms Pet Resort. Once this profile is completed, we can officially reserve your Board and Train dates.
