PAWS Program
Personalized Activity, Walks, & Skills
Traditional daycare isn’t right for every dog. Busy rooms, overstimulation, and one-size-fits-all care can actually make behavior challenges worse.
The PAWS Program is Barkology’s in-home day training service designed for dogs who need structure, enrichment, and real-life skill building without the stress of a facility.
We come to your home to provide thoughtful walks, intentional training, and enrichment tailored to your dog, your environment, and your goals.
Personalized Activity, Walks & Skills — in your home
Why PAWS Is Different
This isn’t just a walk. And it’s definitely not daycare.
PAWS combines:
Structured physical activity
Mental enrichment that actually meets your dog’s needs
Skill-building that supports your training goals
Calm, fear-free handling by a certified professional trainer
Your dog learns where it matters most: at home and in their neighborhood.
Who the PAWS Program Is For
PAWS is a great fit for:
Puppies and adolescent dogs building routines
Dogs working on leash manners, focus, or impulse control
Dogs who get overwhelmed in traditional daycare settings
Anxious or sensitive dogs who thrive with individualized care
Busy families who want consistency between training sessions
-
Training focuses on real life skills your dog needs at home and on walks. We work on things like loose leash walking, settling, focus, impulse control, and confidence. All training is individualized and uses positive reinforcement and fear free methods.
-
Walks are intentional and based on your dog’s needs. This may include structured leash walking, decompression walks, or skill building on the leash. Walks are never about distance or speed and are always done at your dog’s pace.
-
Enrichment supports your dog’s mental and emotional needs. This can include sniffing activities, food puzzles, problem solving games, and calm decompression time. Enrichment is chosen to support behavior goals and help dogs relax, not just get tired.
-
Grooming is handled using cooperative care and consent-based methods. This may include baths, nail trims, and handling practice. We move at your dog’s pace and focus on creating positive associations to reduce stress over time.
