Barks and Rec. Animal Training and Behavior is the only training facility of its kind in northern Michigan. We use modern, science-based, and empathy-driven positive reinforcement training methods to help you and your dog live your best lives together. Our dog training services include everything from from aggression and obedience training, to dog sports like nosework and agility.

The Barks and Rec trainers are educated in learning theory, behavior modification, veterinary technology, ethology, aggression and reactivity, separation anxiety, puppy socialization and development, behavior analysis, and so much more. Our number one goal is creating connection between you and your pup through effective, reinforcement-based training and human education!
