Meet the guy your dog will be staying with

Bark Barn isn't a facility. It's Alex's home, and the dogs live in it with him.

About Alex
Alex and his brother in Santa hats with two dogs on the couch

Hi, I'm Alex.

I'm a CGC-certified dog trainer with 10 years of experience, and Bark Barn is my house. I studied psychology at George Mason University with a focus on canine behavior, and my brother Edy helps me with the pack. Every dog that stays here lives the way ours do: real beds, a big yard, and someone home with them all day.

Boarding

From $75 a night

Boarding in a home, not a kennel.

Your dog stays in my house, not in a cage. Real beds, the couch, belly rubs, and a pack to hang out with. Daycare is included with every night, and the price is the same on holidays.

Daycare
Seven dogs in the downstairs dog room
$40 a day

Daycare with a real pack.

Supervised group play all day in our downstairs dog room and the yard. Dogs are grouped by temperament, every dog has their own cubby, and there's walk time and rest time built in. $30 each when two or more dogs come together.

The Yard
Two doodles playing with a staff member on the patio

A big yard with a 6-foot fence all the way around.

Dogs go outside every day and someone is always out there with them. The whole yard is wrapped in a 6-foot privacy fence, the gates stay closed, and the covered patio keeps play going on hot and rainy days.

Trained by a certified trainer.

I'm CGC-certified with 10 years of experience. I work on basic obedience, over-excitement and leash reactivity, and I can do a board-and-train while your dog is staying with me, with videos so you can keep it going at home.

Baths

Alex and his brother are fantastic! My dog Oscar gets so excited when I bring him and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. Always a good sign. Booking is easy and they have come through, even on last minute bookings.Monica D.
★★★★★
We love this place. They take amazing care of our dog. Also, their dog trainers are fantastic. Alex has been a life saver. He's managed to take our dog Biscuit, who was aggressive to other dogs, and totally calmed her down! She can now be around other dogs and she's playing again!Tracy D.
★★★★★
Alex trained my Cavapoo puppy (and me) and did an amazing job! He really breaks things down into steps that both my dog and I could understand and achieve at home. I saw progress immediately! He clearly loves his job and brings great energy and enthusiasm to each lesson.Eileen M.

Alexander was wonderful with my dog, Crixus. My dog has separation anxiety and I could tell that my dog felt comfortable and well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of my dog!Patricia D.
