At A Bark Above, our values aren’t just words, they are the foundation of everything we do. They come from a deep passion for dogs, a commitment to excellence, and a drive to provide a truly unique training experience. Whether you’re just starting your training journey or seeking to refine your skills, we are your paw in the right direction.

RESPECT

No matter your background, experience, or past challenges with training, you will always be treated with the highest level of respect. We believe in honesty, accountability, and fairness, ensuring you feel valued and supported every step of the way.

TRUST

When you entrust us with your dog’s training, you can rest assured you are in the hands of Certified Animal Trainers and IMDT members dedicated to ongoing learning and professional development. If your dog’s needs extend beyond our expertise, we will always guide you to the right professionals, because your success is our priority.

OPENNESS

Communication is key. We foster a non-judgmental, open, and welcoming space where you and your dog can learn and grow. Here, every question is encouraged, every concern is heard, and every achievement big or small is celebrated.

KINDNESS

Our training is rooted in science-backed, reward-based methods that are ethical, effective, and enriching for both dogs and their humans. But kindness isn’t just for our four-legged students, it’s for you, too. We understand that training can be a journey, and we are here to support you with patience and positivity at every turn.

COMPASSION

Dogs thrive in an environment of love and understanding, and so do people. We approach every interaction with empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help. Whether you're facing behavioural challenges or simply looking to build a better bond with your dog, we’re here to guide you with unwavering compassion.

INNOVATION

We are more than just trainers, we are striving to lead in the industry, dedicated to setting new standards, sharing knowledge, and continuously improving. Our programs evolve with the latest research, ensuring you receive cutting-edge training that delivers real results.

Our Promise to You

As we grow, develop new programs, and refine our training methods, one thing will never change. We are proud to offer a service built on integrity, passion, and a deep love for dogs and their people.

Join us at A Bark Above, where training is more than just cues, it’s a journey of trust, growth, and connection.
